Description of Change

Removes all InternalsVisibleTo attributes that grant the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit access to internal APIs. This is the same change as #33442 (which was reverted in #34047 for .NET 10 SR4), now targeting net11.0 to give the toolkit team time to migrate.

Previous attempts:

• Remove InternalsVisibleTo for Toolkit #28994 — First removal (reverted in Revert "Remove InternalsVisibleTo for Toolkit" #29321 because toolkit wasn't updated)
• Make internal types used by MAUI Toolkit public #29443 — Made some types public (ITextElement, ICornerElement, etc.)
• Remove InternalsVisibleTo attributes for .NET MAUI Community Toolkit #33442 — Second removal in SR4 (reverted in Revert "Remove InternalsVisibleTo attributes for .NET MAUI Community … #34047 because toolkit still wasn't updated)

src/Essentials/src/AssemblyInfo/AssemblyInfo.shared.cs	5
src/Core/src/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs	5

Total: 22 InternalsVisibleTo declarations removed for CommunityToolkit.Maui, .Core, .Embedding, .UnitTests, .Markup, .Markup.UnitTests.

CommunityToolkit.Maui.Embedding has never been published to NuGet, so that grant was already dead.

Impact on CommunityToolkit.Maui 15.0.0 (verified — see verification comment below)

The toolkit has made great progress: everything the older tables in this PR used to describe (AvatarView/FontElement/TextElement/ImageElement, GravatarImageSource/ImageSource.CancellationTokenSource, AppThemeResourceExtension/IResourcesProvider, StreamWrapper, RequireFontManager, InvalidateMeasureInternal, …) is already resolved in 15.0.0. Mac Catalyst builds completely clean.

What remains is Android-only. Building pristine CommunityToolkit.Maui 15.0.0 sources against this PR's packages produces 5 errors:

#	MAUI internal API	Toolkit call site	Error
1	Microsoft.Maui.ApplicationModel.IntermediateActivity (internal type, Essentials)	FileSaverImplementation.android.cs:40, FolderPickerImplementation.android.cs:37	CS0122 ×2
2	Microsoft.Maui.Platform.ElementExtensions.ToPlatform(this IElement) — the 1-arg internal overload	Snackbar.android.cs:43	CS1929
3	Microsoft.Maui.JavaObjectExtensions.IsDisposed (internal static class)	Snackbar.android.cs:91	CS1061
4	Microsoft.Maui.JavaObjectExtensions.IsAlive (internal static class)	TouchBehavior.android.cs:109	CS1061
5	Microsoft.Maui.Platform.ViewExtensions.GetParentOfType<T> (internal method)	TouchBehavior.android.cs:44	CS1061

Plus one binary-only break that the compiler hides:

#	MAUI internal API	Toolkit call site	Notes
6	Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DispatcherExtensions.DispatchIfRequiredAsync	UserStoppedTypingBehavior.shared.cs:108,113	The toolkit has its own 3-arg DispatchIfRequiredAsync(IDispatcher, Action, CancellationToken = default). With IVT the 2-arg call sites bind to MAUI's internal one; without IVT a source rebuild silently rebinds to the toolkit's own. Prebuilt 15.0.0 assemblies therefore carry an IL memberref to MAUI's internal method and would throw MethodAccessException. A toolkit rebuild fixes it.

Suggested resolution — items 2–5 are all trivially re-implementable inside the toolkit (a handful of lines each), and item 1 can be replaced with the toolkit's own activity-result plumbing over Platform.CurrentActivity. None of these require MAUI to make anything public.

Consumer note: CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup must be ≥ 8.0.0

CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup 7.0.1 contains 45 IL references to MAUI internals (FontElement, TextElement, ImageElement, PaddingElement, PlaceholderElement, SetterSpecificity, BindingExpression, TypedBindingBase..ctor, BindableObject.SetValueCore, BindingBase.Apply/Unapply/GetSourceValue, …) and hard-crashes without IVT. 8.0.0 already has zero — it's clean. Anyone still on 7.0.1 must upgrade.

Pull request overview

This PR removes all InternalsVisibleTo attributes that grant the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit access to internal APIs. This is the third attempt to make this change, now targeting the net11.0 branch to provide the toolkit team sufficient time to migrate away from internal API dependencies.

Changes:

• Removed 22 InternalsVisibleTo declarations across 4 AssemblyInfo files for CommunityToolkit assemblies
• Removed duplicate Controls.TestCases.HostApp entry from Controls/Core AssemblyInfo
• Preserved all other InternalsVisibleTo entries for MAUI's own test and compatibility assemblies

AI code review for net11.0 target

Verdict: Needs discussion (draft; intentional decoupling with cross-repo coordination cost and red CI)

Independent review (diff-first, then reconciled with the PR narrative). This is not an approval — a human still needs to sign off. PR is a draft.

What the PR does

Removes the [assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("CommunityToolkit.Maui*")] entries from Core, Controls.Core, Controls.Xaml, and Essentials AssemblyInfo files — i.e., the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit will no longer be able to reach MAUI internal members.

Findings

• This is a deliberate API-coupling cleanup, but it is a breaking change for CommunityToolkit.Maui. It only works if CTK no longer depends on any of these internals. That coordination must land on the CTK side first (or simultaneously); otherwise CTK builds break against net11 MAUI. The PR description should link the corresponding CTK change/issue and the migration plan (which internals CTK used and their public replacements).
• The change is purely subtractive and low-risk in this repo — no product code is touched, only friend-assembly grants. Mechanically correct (each block removed cleanly; unrelated InternalsVisibleTo entries preserved). The duplicate InternalsVisibleTo("Controls.TestCases.HostApp") removed from Controls.Core is a no-op since the canonical entry remains above. ✔️
• Confirm no MAUI test/sample assembly transitively relied on these grants via CTK references.

CI

maui-pr and Build Analysis are red, including Build macOS (Release), Run Integration Tests Build (macOS/windows), RunOnAndroid, and a Helix unit-test leg. These failures are consistent with downstream consumers (samples/tests that reference CommunityToolkit.Maui) failing to compile once the internals are withdrawn — i.e., likely PR-caused and exactly what this change is meant to surface. Needs investigation before this can leave draft.

Confidence: medium. The mechanical change is sound; the open questions are the CTK-side coordination and confirming the red CI is the expected downstream fallout rather than an unrelated break.

[kubaflo]

Verdict: NEEDS_DISCUSSION (draft; intentional, purely-subtractive change with a cross-repo coordination cost — not an approval)

All four review models agree this change is mechanically correct and low-risk within this repo: it only removes the CommunityToolkit.Maui* friend-assembly grants from the Core, Controls.Core, Controls.Xaml, and Essentials AssemblyInfo files — no product code is touched (verified: zero CommunityToolkit InternalsVisibleTo entries remain, and the duplicate Controls.TestCases.HostApp removal is a no-op since the canonical entry survives). Because there is no anchorable code defect, there are no inline findings; the only open question is one of coordination/timing for an intentional breaking change to the Toolkit. For the author (while this stays a draft): can you confirm the CTK-side migration off these internals has landed or will land in lockstep — ideally linking the corresponding toolkit change/issue and migration plan — and confirm the red CI is exactly this expected downstream fallout rather than an unrelated break?

CI: maui-pr and Build Analysis are red. The failing legs — Build macOS (Release), Run Integration Tests Build (macOS/windows), RunOnAndroid (macOS), and Helix Unit Tests Windows (Release) — are consistent with MAUI's own templates/tests/samples (which reference CommunityToolkit.Maui, still dependent on these internals) failing to compile once the grants are withdrawn; the remaining legs (Windows builds, Blazor, Samples, iOS runs, MultiProject, Unit Tests) pass. This needs confirmation before the PR leaves draft.

code-review-inline-findings-write [claude-opus-4.6] (/home/runner/work/maui/maui/.github/skills/code-review/tests/eval.inline-findings.vally.yaml)

Regression guard for the expert-review phase: after producing file:line findings on a diff, the agent must WRITE them as a JSON array to the inline-findings.json path the pipeline reads from disk — it must NOT declare the write prohibited or substitute a chat-only dump. Missing the file silently drops every inline comment.

✅ End-to-end verification against CommunityToolkit.Maui 15.0.0

Rebased this branch onto latest net11.0 and ran a full A/B verification of the Toolkit sample app on Mac Catalyst and an Android emulator, using this PR's CI packages vs. baseline packages from the exact merge-base commit.

Bottom line: at runtime this PR is clean. With current toolkit dependencies there are zero MethodAccessException / FieldAccessException / TypeAccessException on either platform, and both platforms match the baseline run page-for-page. There is one remaining Android compile break in the toolkit, and a hard requirement to be on CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup ≥ 8.0.0.

Methodology (click to expand)

Because "it works on my machine" isn't evidence, I set this up as a controlled A/B:

• CI build 1527131 built merge commit 21c82ceb, whose parents are:
  • 9f6a292b0d — base net11.0, which has its own CI build 1527120 → BASE MAUI 11.0.0-preview.7.26376.21
  • fe6b3ba2dd — this PR's head → PR MAUI 11.0.0-ci.pr34070.7.26376.24
• Both sides built with the same private SDK 11.0.100-preview.7.26365.101 and the exact CI workload pins from eng/Versions.props (Microsoft.Android.Sdk 37.0.0-ci.main.2139, macios 26.5.11989-net11-p7), so the only variable is the InternalsVisibleTo removal.
• Toolkit source = pristine CommunityToolkit/Maui main, which is byte-identical to tag 15.0.0 (ce6adebf), retargeted to net11.0.
• Runtime check = an automated walker that navigates all 99 sample pages, waits for each to render, and classifies any MethodAccess/FieldAccess/TypeAccess exception as ACCESSFAIL.

1. Compile results

TFM	BASE MAUI	This PR
net11.0-maccatalyst	✅ Build succeeded	✅ Build succeeded
net11.0-android	✅ Build succeeded	❌ 5 errors

Mac Catalyst is completely clean — all the older AvatarView / FontElement / TextElement / ImageElement / GravatarImageSource / IResourcesProvider / StreamWrapper items that this PR's description used to list have already been fixed in 15.0.0. 🎉

The 5 remaining Android errors:

#	MAUI internal API	Toolkit call site	Error
1	Microsoft.Maui.ApplicationModel.IntermediateActivity (internal type, Essentials)	FileSaverImplementation.android.cs:40 FolderPickerImplementation.android.cs:37	CS0122 ×2
2	Microsoft.Maui.Platform.ElementExtensions.ToPlatform(this IElement) — the 1-arg internal overload (the 2-arg (IElement, IMauiContext) is public)	Snackbar.android.cs:43	CS1929
3	Microsoft.Maui.JavaObjectExtensions.IsDisposed (internal static class)	Snackbar.android.cs:91	CS1061
4	Microsoft.Maui.JavaObjectExtensions.IsAlive (internal static class)	TouchBehavior.android.cs:109	CS1061
5	Microsoft.Maui.Platform.ViewExtensions.GetParentOfType<T> (internal method)	TouchBehavior.android.cs:44	CS1061

And one that the compiler silently hides but which breaks prebuilt binaries:

#	MAUI internal API	Toolkit call site	Why it's sneaky
6	Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DispatcherExtensions.DispatchIfRequiredAsync	UserStoppedTypingBehavior.shared.cs:108,113	The toolkit already has its own DispatchIfRequiredAsync(IDispatcher, Action, CancellationToken = default). With IVT the 2-arg call sites bind to MAUI's internal extension; without IVT the compiler quietly rebinds to the toolkit's own and the build still succeeds. So a toolkit rebuild is fine — but the already-shipped 15.0.0 binaries carry an IL memberref to MAUI's internal method and would throw MethodAccessException at JIT time.

Items 2–5 are each only a few lines and can be re-implemented inside the toolkit; item 1 can be replaced with the toolkit's own activity-result plumbing over Platform.CurrentActivity. None of these require MAUI to make anything public. I confirmed this by shimming exactly these 6 APIs locally — with the shims in place the toolkit builds and runs perfectly against this PR.

The handful of non-ACCESSFAIL failures are present in both base and PR and are unrelated to this change:

• [16] StatusBarBehaviorPage → NotSupportedException: MacCatalyst does not currently support changing the macOS status bar color (by design)
• [35] IsInRangeConverterPage → InvalidOperationException: Invalid getter…

3. ⚠️ CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup 7.0.1 is hard-broken — 8.0.0 is already clean

This PR also drops InternalsVisibleTo("CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup"). I scanned the shipped assemblies' metadata for references into Microsoft.Maui* that resolve to non-public members:

Package	Non-public MAUI references
CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup 7.0.1	45
CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup 8.0.0	0 ✅

7.0.1 reaches into FontElement, TextElement, ImageElement, PaddingElement, PlaceholderElement, SetterSpecificity, BindingExpression, BindingExpressionHelper, TypedBindingBase..ctor, BindableObject.SetValueCore, BindingBase.Apply/Unapply/GetSourceValue, Element.add_ParentSet, and more. Concretely it produced:

• Android: immediate startup crash — FieldAccessException → FontElement.FontSizeProperty from CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup.ElementExtensions.Font
• Mac Catalyst: MethodAccessException → Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Internals.TypedBindingBase..ctor() from CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup.TypedBinding\2..ctor`

8.0.0 has already been fixed upstream and both platforms went green once I bumped it. Worth calling out in release notes: consumers must be on Markup ≥ 8.0.0.

Side notes: CommunityToolkit.Maui.Embedding has never been published to NuGet, so that IVT grant was already dead. CommunityToolkit.Maui.MediaElement (10.0.0), .Camera (6.1.0) and .Maps (4.0.0) never had IVT grants and are unaffected.

4. CI status on this PR — the red is pre-existing, not caused by this change

Failing check	Cause
Windows Helix Unit Tests (Debug) + (Release)	AppThemeTests.ParentSetResolvesAppThemeDynamicResourceWithoutListener (Expected: Light, Actual: Unspecified) — 1 failure out of 5,959. The merge-base build 1527120 fails on the exact same test. Tracked as #36794.
Build .NET MAUI Build Windows (Release)	APT2260 Android resource-linking errors (attr/colorPrimary, attr/actionBarSize, style/Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight, style/Widget.Design.BottomNavigationView) in src/Core/src/Core.csproj. Pure infra flake — Build Windows (Debug) and both macOS builds passed in the same run, and this has nothing to do with InternalsVisibleTo.

9 of the last 10 net11.0 branch builds are red for the same reasons.

Summary

• ✅ No runtime internal-API access failures on Mac Catalyst or Android with current toolkit dependencies.
• ❌ 5 Android compile errors in CommunityToolkit.Maui 15.0.0 — all fixable inside the toolkit, no new public MAUI API required.
• ⚠️ CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup must be ≥ 8.0.0 (7.0.1 crashes; 8.0.0 is already clean).
• ⚠️ Item 6 (DispatchIfRequiredAsync) is a silent binary break for prebuilt 15.0.0 assemblies — needs a toolkit rebuild, not a source fix.
• ℹ️ CI red is pre-existing on net11.0.

cc @PureWeen @kubaflo — the Android list above is the complete remaining set. Everything else the toolkit used to need is already done. 🙌

Follow-up: the Toolkit-side fix is now open as CommunityToolkit/Maui#3273 — Remove all usage of .NET MAUI internal APIs.

That PR removes all 6 remaining internal-API usages I found in CommunityToolkit.Maui 15.0.0 when verifying this PR, so the Toolkit no longer needs the InternalsVisibleTo grants at all.

I also hardened my verification since the report above. The earlier IL scan matched member references by name; it now resolves them by full signature via Mono.Cecil, and reports unresolved references separately so a missing reference assembly can't be mistaken for a clean result. That change matters — name-only matching had masked the 1-argument internal ElementExtensions.ToPlatform(IElement) overload behind its public 2-argument sibling.

With that, I was able to scan the shipped 15.0.0 binaries for all five targets against the MAUI assemblies from this PR, including Windows, which can't be compiled on macOS:

Target	Internal API references (shipped 15.0.0)
Android	6
iOS	1
Mac Catalyst	1
Windows	1
net10.0 (shared)	1

So iOS, Windows and Mac Catalyst had no platform-specific internal usage at all — the only thing hitting them was Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DispatcherExtensions.DispatchIfRequiredAsync, which is called from shared code in UserStoppedTypingBehavior.

That one is worth calling out because it is invisible in a source build. The Toolkit already ships its own DispatchIfRequiredAsync(IDispatcher, Action, CancellationToken = default), but MAUI's internal (IDispatcher?, Action) overload is an exact two-parameter match, so overload resolution prefers MAUI's. Recompiling from source silently rebinds to the Toolkit's own method and looks clean, while the already-shipped 15.0.0 binaries carry a memberref to the internal method and would throw MethodAccessException at JIT once this PR lands.

One small note for this repo, no action needed for this PR: Microsoft.Maui.Platform.ActivityResultCallbackRegistry is a public class whose only useful entry point, RegisterActivityResultCallback, is internal (only InvokeCallback is public). That left no public MAUI path for "start an activity and await its result", so the Toolkit PR builds its own on AndroidX ActivityResultRegistry instead. Might be worth considering making that registration API public at some point.

After the Toolkit fix, everything is green against this PR's MAUI build:

• Compile: net11.0-android, net11.0-ios, net11.0-maccatalyst, net11.0 all succeed
• IL scan: 0 findings and 0 unresolved references on all five targets, also covering .Camera, .Maps and .MediaElement
• Runtime: 99-page sample walk — Android 97 OK, Mac Catalyst 94 OK, 0 MethodAccess/FieldAccess/TypeAccess failures on either, matching the pre-PR baseline exactly
• Targeted: FileSaver and FolderPicker driven for real on the emulator (cancel and success paths, file verified on disk), plus Snackbar over a modal page, TouchBehavior attach, and UserStoppedTypingBehavior
