Menu Bar - ContentPage.MenuBarItems doesn't render on Android? #25516

Closed antonycartwright closed 4 days ago

Description

According to this article, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/menu-bar?view=net-maui-8.0, making a menu is easy. But for me, it simply does nothing when deployed to my Android phone (but it does work on Windows). Is this a known problem?

Thanks, Antony

The very first line in the linked article says:

A .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) menu bar is a container that presents a set of menus in a horizontal row, at the top of an app on Mac Catalyst and Windows.

So this is only supported on the desktop platforms that we support. This is because there is no equivalent available on the mobile operating systems.
