@taddisateesh I checked this issue in a simple way using the default .NET MAUI template, and it works fine in both debug and release modes. Can you share a reproduction sample to replicate the issue?

[taddisateesh]

@sheiksyedm I have attached sample project here. Please test this on android device/emulator in debug mode

@taddisateesh Can you share the device info along with the Android version? I tested this issue on a Google Pixel 6a (Android 14, API 34), and it was not reproducible in the latest 9.0.50 SR5.
