And just like that, the first release in 2025 is v11 of the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit!

Offline speech recognition

In this release we add offline speech recognition. No need for an active internet connection, you can now to speech to text while offline. Note that this is available from Android 33 and up and iOS13 and up. Check out all the details on the docs.

Statusbar gap

Did you notice there was a gap when using the StatusBarBehavior on iOS? Thanks to Jakub Florkowski not anymore! We made sure that the calculations for the status bar height is now correct and are even giving you fine-grained control over the calculations by being able to specify if the safe area should be included or not.

And much more!

Be sure to check out the full list below with all the changes ,and last but not least, we also did releases for CameraView, MediaElement and Maps, so be sure to check those out too!
