How to update entire MAUI workload to latest? (8.0.20)

How do I update my entire .NET MAUI workload to the latest stable version 8.0.20?

The latest version can be found here: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/releases/tag/8.0.20

When i run sudo dotnet workload update then it doesn't update to the latest version of MAUI 8.0.20. Instead it keeps me at version 8.0.7.

What do I need to do to update to 8.0.20? Is it because some of the items in the workload is still dependent on 8.0.7 and therefore I can't update to 8.0.20?

See my system below:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
maui                       8.0.7/8.0.100         SDK 8.0.200        

I have the latest version of .NET RUNTIME 8.0.4 and .NET SDK 8.0.204.

    that is the lastest workload.

    workloads are not updated when nuget packages are updated, only when the tools/sdks it installs are updated (not patched - patches are only bug fixes, not changes in behavior). also updating a workload will not update the nuget references in an existing projects. only when creating a new projects. as a best practice, your first step after creating a project, should be to updated the nuget packages to lastest version.

    you should have a regular schedule to update the nuget packages in your projects.

    Hello,

    Please open a MAUI project by VS for Mac and expand the Dependencies->net8.0-ios->NuGet->Microsoft.MAUI.Controls, then check if there is a warning to update to 8.0.200. If so, you can click the button and accept to install. Update

    As Bruce said, the workload is latest. The .NET SDK installs the latest workloads successfully.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

maui                       8.0.7/8.0.100         SDK 8.0.200

    For more details, you can refer to the closed known issue- KNOWN ISSUE: .NET SDK 8.0.200 Installs the Incorrect MAUI Workload Versions · Issue #20600 · dotnet/maui · GitHub
