Summary

Draft the combined .NET MAUI, .NET for Android, and Apple platform notes for the first stable .NET 11 release. Part of #10671.

The .NET 9 GA notes and .NET 10 GA notes cover final changes since RC 2 and link to What's New for the full release overview. This draft uses the same split, with the current curated component-note structure. It does not repeat the preview rollup or publish the complete commit inventory.

Highlights include lazy creation of inactive Android Shell pages, share-sheet image previews, opt-in drag-and-drop Move operations, removal of the XAML expression preview flag, Android R8/trimming fixes, and Apple incremental-build fixes. Migration guidance covers JNI delegate wrapping and the Android CoreCLR RunAOTCompilation=false diagnostic.

Only release-notes/11.0/11.0.0/dotnetmaui.md changes. The shared README, build metadata, and VMR triage files are unchanged.

Mobile source evidence

These are reviewed source candidates, not confirmed final GA packages:

Component Public RC 2 baseline Reviewed candidate
.NET MAUI 11.0.100-rc.2.26513.2 release/11.0.1xx at 4645bd17
.NET for Android 37.2.0-rc.2.84 37.2.29 source pinned by MAUI
Apple platforms dotnet-11.0.1xx-rc2-12212 27.0.12230 source pinned by MAUI

The contributor list covers all resolved human PR authors in these three RC 2-to-candidate ranges. It is not a full-year contributor rollup. Bot and service accounts are excluded. Introduced-and-reverted work is excluded from the feature claims.

Publication gates

  • Confirm the final GA workload set, component package versions, and source revisions. The checked release pages, tags, NuGet.org Controls index, and dotnet11 stable package indexes do not yet establish those final mobile artifacts.
  • Confirm the intended Apple SDK and Xcode version. The MAUI candidate pins Apple 27.0.12230, while the current macios release branch also contains later Xcode 27.1/27.2 work. Those unpinned changes are deliberately excluded.
  • Refresh the selected changes, contributors, and release links against the final cutoffs.
  • Finalize the linked What's New overview. dotnet/docs-maui#3569 remains a draft RC 2 update; the published C# expressions article also needs the GA preview-flag change.
  • The shared build-metadata.json leaves the installed SDK/VMR correlation unverified. It does not validate these out-of-band workload versions.

Validation

  • Factual review against exact candidate source and upstream PRs; corrected the registrar optimization's CoreCLR/trimmable-static scope.
  • All 19 cited PRs match the reviewed source ranges; 21 human contributor links match the complete resolved author inventory.
  • Targeted Markdown lint, link checks, formatting, XML shape, README navigation, staged diff checks, and GitHub Markdown rendering passed.
  • Checkov: 446 GitHub Actions checks passed, zero failed. The repository has an unrelated existing CloudFormation/YAML parsing error in release-notes/11.0/preview/preview7/changes.json.
  • No executable sample files were added. Final-package API/runtime validation remains gated on the final workload artifacts; inspected upstream tests are not claimed as local test runs.

Owner handoff

Keep this PR as a draft until the mobile publication gates are resolved. After review, the component owner must merge it into release-notes/11.0-ga. Keep the base PR draft until the release ships.
