Recurring Crash Issue When Opening Same App in Maui Project

Sarfaraz Sable 20

I'm encountering an issue with two apps, let's call them A and B. When I open app B from app A, then close app B, and subsequently reopen app A, it crashes. To identify this issue, I created a new project, let's call it C. Interestingly, when running app C and opening app A, it doesn't crash. However, when I close app A and reopen app C, it crashes. It seems that the crash occurs when opening the same app again. Any insights or assistance on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

For further investigation, could you please provide the following information?

The MAUI version.

Which platform is this issue occurring on and what is its API level?

Can you please provide specific steps to reproduce this and update it to the question?

Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

Issue Description: In Maui version 8 on iOS, there's a problem with app crashing. Here's the detailed scenario:

When you click the button and open the new app, everything works fine.

However, after closing the newly opened app and attempting to reopen app A, it crashes.

To open the new app from your Maui app, follow these steps:

How did you open other Apps? Are you using iOS universal links? Appium looks like a third-party package, do you have the same issue when removing this capability?
