--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
android                    36.99.0-preview.3.10/11.0.100-preview.3    SDK 11.0.100-preview.3

Android 17 / API 37 Preview Support

We’re grateful to the Uno Platform team for their deep collaboration with the .NET MAUI team in preparation for .NET 11 Preview 3. Their contributions helped ensure .NET for Android is aligned with Google’s latest platform updates, enabling developers to take advantage of Android 17 previews and API 37 right away. This kind of partnership strengthens the .NET ecosystem and reflects our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, cross-platform developer experiences.

To opt into API-37, you can change your .csproj to:

<PropertyGroup>
  <TargetFramework>net11.0-android37</TargetFramework>
  <EnablePreviewFeatures>true</EnablePreviewFeatures>
</PropertyGroup>

To install API-37 in Visual Studio's SDK manager, you can use Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager > Repository > Full List:

API-37

Note

By default the SDK manager will install to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-37.0, which will not be automatically located by .NET for Android. Temporarily renamed the folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-37, while we address this in a future release.

See our API-37 HPKE Encryption Sample for a full example on calling new APIs available in Android 17.

Android 36.1

To try out the new APIs, you can opt your project into the new net10.0-android36.1 target framework:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net10.0-android36.1</TargetFramework>
    <!-- Remainder of your .csproj -->

Note that if omitted, net10.0-android will default to API 36.0.

To use an Android 36.1-only API you can use the OperatingSystem class to check the Android version at runtime:

if (OperatingSystem.IsAndroidVersionAtLeast(36, 1))
{
    // Call some Android 36.1 API here
}
else
{
	// Fallback for older OS versions
	ShowToast("Android 36.1+ is required for this feature");
}

See the Android documentation for a full diff of the new available APIs in Android 36.1.

For a full sample using Android 36.1 APIs, see our Pdf Annotator sample on GitHub.

To install the Android 36.1 platform, you can go to Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager. Install Android SDK Platform 36.1.
