.NET MAUI – CommunityToolkit – MediaElement

The most requested feature from Xamarin.CommunityToolkit package, MediaElement, is now ported to the .NET MAUI CommunityToolkit following the MAUI’s very own handler-based implementation.

Due to the dependencies involved, this is released as a separate NuGet package titled CommunityToolkit.Maui.MediaElement. The NuGet package is now available to access from the public NuGet feed. The stable version supports only .NET 7 and .NET 6 backward compatibility supported in the earlier developer preview version is now out of context.

It is highly recommended to update to this latest v1.0.1 release as this aligns with the .NET MAUI’s implicit Windows AppSDK package dependency.

Peter Foot and other members of the repository are hard at work to make it available by the .NET 7 GA release timeframe scheduled early next month during the .NET Conf 2022.

This package is now released as a stable release in Jan 2023, and details have been covered in a separate article here.
