MAUI .NET 8 iOS - Span TapGestureRecognizer not working

Question

I have created a new MAUI .NET 8 project and migrated the Xamarin forms project code.

In iOS, the span text TapGestureRecognizer is not working.

gesture_Tapped event is not triggered.

var sp2 = new Span { Text = "Click here" };

TapGestureRecognizer gesture = new TapGestureRecognizer
{
    NumberOfTapsRequired = 1
};

sp2.GestureRecognizers.Add(gesture);



gesture.Tapped += gesture_Tapped;


private void gesture_Tapped(object? sender, EventArgs e)
{
    EmailTest email = new EmailTest();
    email.SendEmail(StringConstants.TEXT_EMAIL);
}

How do I resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

There is a known issue that has been fixed in .NET8.0.40 - TapGestureRecognizer does not work in label's span · Issue #8004 · dotnet/maui (github.com))

I try to new a label and add the span, the event can be triggered with latest VS and 8.0.70.

Please manage NuGetPackages, then update Microsoft.Maui.Controls and Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.

FormattedString formattedString = new FormattedString();
formattedString.Spans.Add(sp2);
MyLabel.FormattedText = formattedString;

Best Regards,
