+
+## Cross-platform passkey authentication
+
+The new Passkeys Essentials API drives the native passkey UI on Android 14+,
+iOS 16+, Mac Catalyst 16+, and Windows 10 version 1903+. Use
+`Passkeys.IsSupported` to check availability, `Passkeys.CreateAsync` to
+register a credential, and `Passkeys.AssertAsync` to authenticate with an
+existing credential
+([dotnet/maui #36837](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36837)).
+
+`IsSupported` checks the platform version, but successful registration also
+requires platform trust configuration. Apple apps need Associated Domains,
+an Apple App Site Association file, and signing; Android apps need Digital
+Asset Links. See the
+[Passkeys setup guide](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/blob/release/11.0.1xx-preview7/src/Essentials/samples/README-Passkeys.md)
+for the platform prerequisites.
+
+The relying-party server supplies the standard WebAuthn options JSON and
+verifies the response JSON returned by MAUI. The API handles the platform
+ceremony, but does not perform server-side verification, attestation
+validation, or challenge generation.
+
+## XAML Incremental Hot Reload
+
+> XAML Incremental Hot Reload is a preview feature in .NET 11.
+
+XAML Incremental Hot Reload uses a source generator and a
+`MetadataUpdateHandler` to update already-instantiated pages without rebuilding
+the app. It supports property changes, child additions and removals, structural
+reordering, attached properties, markup extensions, bindings, and
+`ResourceDictionary` updates
+([dotnet/maui #34338](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/34338)).
+The same source-generated update path also applies XAML edits during
+`dotnet watch` sessions.
+
+The feature is enabled by default for Debug builds in Preview 7. Release and
+publish builds remain disabled by default. To opt out for Debug builds and use
+the existing XAML Hot Reload path, set:
+
+```xml
+<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">
+  <EnableMauiIncrementalHotReload>false</EnableMauiIncrementalHotReload>
+</PropertyGroup>
+```
+
+This Debug default and opt-out behavior was finalized in
+[dotnet/maui #37163](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/37163).
+
+For general XAML Hot Reload background, see [XAML Hot
+Reload](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/xaml/hot-reload?view=net-maui-11.0).
+
+## Shell route templates
+
+Shell routes now support path parameters inspired by ASP.NET Core and Blazor
+routing. Templates can contain required, optional, defaulted, constrained,
+catch-all, and mixed segments. Existing literal routes are unchanged
+([dotnet/maui #35110](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/35110)).
+
+```csharp
+Routing.RegisterRoute("product/{sku}", typeof(ProductDetailPage));
+await Shell.Current.GoToAsync("//products/product/seed-tomato");
+```
+
+Values are delivered through the existing `QueryProperty` and
+`IQueryAttributable` mechanisms. Template routes currently require absolute
+navigation; relative navigation is not yet supported.
+
+See [Shell
+navigation](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/fundamentals/shell/navigation?view=net-maui-11.0).
+
+## AOT-safe RelativeSource bindings
+
+The XAML source generator now compiles `{RelativeSource AncestorType=...}`
+bindings to trim-safe `TypedBinding<TAncestor, TProperty>` instances when the
+ancestor type can be resolved at compile time
+([dotnet/maui #34408](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/34408)).
+
+```xaml
+<Label Text="{Binding Title,
+                      Source={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type local:PageViewModel}}}" />
+```
+
+This avoids a string-based binding path that relies on reflection and could
+lose bound members during trimming in AOT Release builds. `Self` and
+`TemplatedParent` bindings continue to use the runtime binding path. An
+`x:Reference` binding compiles when the referenced element and binding path can
+be resolved; when the element resolves but its binding path can't be compiled,
+the binding falls back to the runtime path. An unresolved `x:Reference` name
+causes XAML compilation to fail with `MAUIG1001`; an `AncestorType` that can't
+be resolved also causes compilation to fail. A follow-up removes a
+false-positive `MAUIG2045` warning for unsealed ancestor types
+([dotnet/maui #36905](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36905)).
+
+Learn more about [compiled
+bindings](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/fundamentals/data-binding/compiled-bindings?view=net-maui-11.0).
+
+## Third-party platform backends
+
+Preview 7 adds a coordinated set of extension points for out-of-tree platform
+backends. XAML `OnPlatform` recognizes GTK, macOS, and WPF
+([dotnet/maui #35901](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/35901)); alert and
+gesture services expose public extension points
+([dotnet/maui #36633](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36633),
+[dotnet/maui #36655](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36655)); and
+`BlazorWebView` supports replacing its platform handler while retaining the
+services registered by `AddMauiBlazorWebView`
+([dotnet/maui #36658](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36658)).
+
+Resizetizer and SingleProject also expose contracts for processing assets and
+activating a backend for either a recognized platform TFM or a neutral
+`net11.0` inner build
+([dotnet/maui #36653](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36653),
+[dotnet/maui #36654](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36654)). Together,
+these APIs let a community backend integrate through a NuGet package instead
+of patching MAUI.
+
+## NavigationPage and TabbedPage adopt handlers on Apple platforms
+
+`NavigationPage` and `TabbedPage` on iOS and Mac Catalyst now use the standard
+handler architecture. `NavigationViewHandler` replaces the monolithic
+`NavigationRenderer`
+([dotnet/maui #36109](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36109)), while
+`TabbedViewHandler` and a shared `TabBarControllerManager` replace
+`TabbedRenderer`
+([dotnet/maui #36507](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36507)).
+
+The handlers are the defaults in Preview 7. `NavigationRenderer` and
+`TabbedRenderer` remain available in the Compatibility layer as manual
+fallbacks, so apps with custom renderers or extensive page customizations
+should test this preview.
+
+For background, see the [`NavigationPage`
+documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/user-interface/pages/navigationpage?view=net-maui-11.0),
+[`TabbedPage`
+documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/user-interface/pages/tabbedpage?view=net-maui-11.0),
+and [reuse custom renderers in .NET
+MAUI](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/migration/custom-renderers?view=net-maui-11.0).
+
+## Platform-specific capabilities
+
+- **Status bar appearance** - `Window.StatusBarTheme` controls the icon
+  appearance on Android and iOS independently of the app theme. This is useful
+  when edge-to-edge content places a light or dark surface behind the status
+  bar ([dotnet/maui #34903](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/34903)).
+- **Save captured media to the gallery** - `MediaPickerOptions.SaveToGallery`
+  can save captured photos and videos to the system gallery on Android, iOS,
+  and Mac Catalyst. The option defaults to `false` and is ignored on Windows
+  and Tizen
+  ([dotnet/maui #34641](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/34641)).
+- **Windows single-instance activation** - Windows apps expose an
+  `AppInstance` activation lifecycle hook and can redirect external
+  activations to the running instance. This also enables `WebAuthenticator`
+  callbacks in single-instance apps
+  ([dotnet/maui #36640](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36640)).
+
+For general API background, see the [media
+picker](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/platform-integration/device-media/picker?view=net-maui-11.0),
+[window](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/user-interface/controls/window?view=net-maui-11.0),
+and [app
+lifecycle](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/fundamentals/app-lifecycle?view=net-maui-11.0)
+documentation.
+
+Preview 7 also improves keyboard activation for `Border` on Windows
+([dotnet/maui #35578](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/35578)) and native
+event handling for the Material 3 Slider on Android
+([dotnet/maui #36448](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/36448)).
+
+See the [full MAUI compare](https://github.com/dotnet/maui/compare/11.0.0-preview.6.26360.8...release/11.0.1xx-preview7)
+for the complete set of changes.
+
+## .NET for Android
+
+Preview 7 streamlines the Android development loop. `FastDeploy2` is now the
+default app-install fast deployment strategy and can reduce the healthy warm
+incremental path to as few as three serial `adb` operations; the legacy
+strategy remains available as a fallback
+([dotnet/android #11795](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/11795)).
+CoreCLR Debug builds also keep typemaps stable across C#-only rebuilds that do
+not change Java-callable mappings, avoiding unnecessary native compilation,
+APK rebuilding, and signing
+([dotnet/android #12260](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12260)).
+Managed stack traces under CoreCLR FastDev now include source file and line
+information ([dotnet/android #11702](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/11702)).
+
+For NativeAOT, the trimmable typemap is now the default and the reflection-based
+`managed` implementation has been removed
+([dotnet/android #12121](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12121),
+[dotnet/android #12134](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12134)).
+The trimmable path adds `XA4212` for unsupported custom `IJavaObject` types,
+preserves nested Java class names, and keeps `IGCUserPeer` methods through R8
+([dotnet/android #12132](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12132),
+[dotnet/android #12187](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12187),
+[dotnet/android #12100](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12100)).
+
+`AndroidMessageHandler` now preserves `HEAD` requests across `301`, `302`, and
+`303` redirects, and safely aborts in-flight body I/O when a response is
+disposed. The disposal fix prevents a process crash that particularly affected
+gRPC server-streaming cancellation
+([dotnet/android #12102](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12102),
+[dotnet/android #12105](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12105)).
+
+The `EnableCrashReport` MSBuild property enables the .NET crash-report writer
+for CoreCLR and NativeAOT apps
+([dotnet/android #12136](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12136)).
+The existing `XA0132` diagnostic now reports when the Fast Deployment package
+is missing from a device after a forced reinstall, replacing the misleading
+`XA0137` deployment diagnostic
+([dotnet/android #12060](https://github.com/dotnet/android/pull/12060)).
+
+## Apple platforms (.NET for iOS, Mac Catalyst, macOS, tvOS)
+
+- **App Store Connect symbolication** - IPA builds now include Apple's
+  `*.symbols` files by default, enabling automatic crash-report symbolication
+  in App Store Connect and Xcode Organizer. Set `IpaIncludeSymbols=false` to
+  opt out ([dotnet/macios #26043](https://github.com/dotnet/macios/pull/26043)).
+  The `EnableCrashReport` MSBuild property separately enables the .NET
+  in-process crash-report writer for CoreCLR apps on iOS, tvOS, and Mac Catalyst
+  ([dotnet/macios #26134](https://github.com/dotnet/macios/pull/26134)).
+- **Hot Reload on physical devices** - `dotnet watch` now works on physical
+  iOS and tvOS devices over USB or Wi-Fi
+  ([dotnet/macios #26070](https://github.com/dotnet/macios/pull/26070)).
+- **NativeAOT compilation flow** - ILC now receives prepared assemblies
+  directly without a redundant ILLink pass, the trimmable-static registrar is
+  generated after ILC, and a new warning identifies post-ILC assembly changes
+  that can cause runtime failures
+  ([dotnet/macios #26193](https://github.com/dotnet/macios/pull/26193),
+  [dotnet/macios #26194](https://github.com/dotnet/macios/pull/26194),
+  [dotnet/macios #26137](https://github.com/dotnet/macios/pull/26137)).
+- **Binding and linking reliability** - fake-protocol binding classes retain
+  runtime `Class.GetHandle` lookup instead of causing a hard link error when no
+  Objective-C class exists, and generated `CreateObject` proxies for generic
+  types no longer contain invalid IL
+  ([dotnet/macios #26347](https://github.com/dotnet/macios/pull/26347),
+  [dotnet/macios #26100](https://github.com/dotnet/macios/pull/26100)).
+
+See the
+[full Apple platforms compare](https://github.com/dotnet/macios/compare/release/11.0.1xx-preview6...release/11.0.1xx-preview7)
+for the complete set of changes.
+
+<!-- Filtered features (significant engineering work, but too narrow for release notes):
+  - MAUI Community Toolkit and trimming cleanup (#34070, #34519, #30875):
+    important migration and trim-safety work, but primarily relevant to Toolkit
+    maintainers and internal build hygiene.
+  - Avalonia.Controls.Maui template support (#35950): useful for an alternate
+    UI-framework integration, but too specialized for the main highlights.
+  - IViewScreenshot extensibility (#34350) and binding converter culture support
+    (#35821): provider extensibility and incremental binding improvements.
+  - Android dlopen-based assembly-store loading and decompression cache (#12033,
+    #11967): low-level CoreCLR host work and an opt-in advanced performance path.
+  - Apple rgen UI namespace cache (#26187): internal source-generator reliability.
