Only tested in Debug config

same issue after upgrading to .net 9

Hi, @LeoJHarris Could you provide us with a sample project so we can investigate it further? Looking forward to your reply!

@LeoJHarris one other thought is that maybe deleting the bin/ and obj/ folders and trying again to see if the issue remains. I wonder if something is cached in the intermediate output that's causing some issues for a project built for net8.0 then upgraded in place and incrementally built for net9.0. Just a thought.

[LeoJHarris]

@Redth No luck unfortunately on the bin and obj folders.

@Zhanglirong-Winnie since the issue impacts a pretty large enterprise application Ill see how I can strip it down to a sample, when I created a new project the image shows correctly, but Ill see what I can do. Been fairly tied up.

Are there any errors in the logs? Either the VS debug log or the logcat?

if you add a random page in the app - aka replace the main page with a blank page - do images load in there?

[LeoJHarris]

I have sample repo available here https://github.com/LeoJHarris/ImageNotShowing_Bug.git

XAML:

Result:

Not sure if this issue is actually related to the MAUI Community Toolkit? @Jcardif are you using an ImageResourceConverter where the images do not not load? @jfversluis can you confirm if the usage is correct here?

[LeoJHarris]

Seems to be inline with the documentation.

[mattleibow]

The image is not marked as embedded resource. But also, this is using the community toolkit so maybe move it there for better troubleshooting on their code.

[LeoJHarris]

@mattleibow I have updated the .png file to an embedded resource although when I first created the project it already was a MauiImage.

That being said the issue still persists, I have updated the sample.

[LeoJHarris]

As I have submitted a ticket on Community Toolkit Ill close one this for now.
