[iOS] BindableLayout or a CollectionView in a CollectionView display bug

[jeffgoku]

Description

After modified(add or remove) items in the inner ItemsSource the inner Layout WONT update the bounds or just display for first item.

When the outter CollectionView is long enough to be scrolled, the inner CollectionView will be updated incorrectly, all the inner CollectionView will only display the first item

Only for iOS, android is ok

Steps to Reproduce

// outter CollectionView
<CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
    <CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
             <local:InnerView BindingContext="{Binding}" />
        </DataTempalte>
   </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>

// InnerView
<Border>
   // no matter this is BindableLayout or CollectionView, the same result
    <VerticalStackLayout BindableLayout.ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
      <BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
         <DataTemplate>
             <SwipeView>
                    <Grid ColumnDefinitions="*" Padding="6, 2">
                        <VerticalStackLayout Spacing="1">
                            <Label Text="{Binding Title}"/>
                            <Label FontSize="10" Padding="2,0,0,0" TextColor="Gray" Text="{Binding Time}"/>
                        </VerticalStackLayout>
                    </Grid>
             </SwipeView>
         </DataTemplate>
      </BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
    </VerticalStackLayout>
</Border>

1. Use above UI
2. Add enough items to InnerView and OutterView for the outter view to be able to scroll
3. Scroll the OutterView

Expected Result: every item is displayed
Actual Result: only the first item of the inner view will be displayed

Can you create a sample repro showing this? Having the actual code implemented into a deployable project would make this easier to debug and for everyone to verify.

Repro added, CollectionView and scroll both not working as expected.

Hi @jeffgoku. We have added the "s/try-latest-version" label to this issue, which indicates that we'd like you to try and reproduce this issue on the latest available public version. This can happen because we think that this issue was fixed in a version that has just been released, or the information provided by you indicates that you might be working with an older version.

You can install the latest version by installing the latest Visual Studio (Preview) with the .NET MAUI workload installed. If the issue still persists, please let us know with any additional details and ideally a reproduction project provided through a GitHub repository.

Hello,

I meet the same issue with a build on Azure Pipeline:

• Installed SDK Version: 8.0.100-rc.2.23502.2
• microsoft.net.sdk.ios version 17.0.8477-net8-rc2.2
• Installed Microsoft.Maui.Sdk.net7 version 7.0.101

(Build on .net7)

The CollectionView doesn't work as expected on iOS (but works on Android). The layout is not updated, and there is an issue with the virtualization (some data won't display when scrolling)
