Native MapLibre on .NET MAUI Hybrid (iOS): The Missing Piece We Had to Build Ourselves | Community Feed

After covering native MapLibre on Android under a MAUI Hybrid BlazorWebView, Ruslan Dudchenko tackles the missing half: iOS, where no ready-to-use .NET MapLibre binding was available to plug in.

What you’ll learn

Official MapLibre iOS binaries — picking the dynamic .xcframework from maplibre-native releases and why it fits Hybrid builds better than a static library
Solution layout and csproj wiring — keeping the framework in a Library folder and selecting simulator vs device slices per Debug/Release
Generating bindings with Sharpie — pointing Objective Sharpie at the headers and dealing with the compile issues that follow
Touch routing on iOS — conditional event routing so Blazor doesn’t steal every gesture from the native map
Real BlazorWebView transparency — making the web layer actually transparent so the map underneath shows through
