Button tapgesture no longer working in MAUI 8 iOS

[Ghostbird]

Are we doing something wrong? We upgraded our app from MAUI 7 to MAUI 8. On Android it went smoothly, but on iOS every button whose click handling relied on TapGestureRecognizer stopped working. Since we dynamically load our UI, this meant that almost everything in our app stopped working, except the static settings screen, login and logout.

Since I can't fathom that the people behind MAUI would release a new version where something as basic as buttons don't work, I'm really puzzled what we're doing wrong.

Anything that adds a TapGestureRecogniser to a Button seems to break the button functionality, including Behaviors for animation and haptic feedback.

Why are you adding a TapGestureRecognizer to a Button? Button has its own properties for Command, CommandParameter and Clicked, so you don't need to add a TapGestureRecognizer to receive user interaction with them.

Because it's the obvious API to use that's identical across multiple dynamically added controls. But that's kind of off-topic, the question is. What suddenly caused it to stop working, just on iOS?

Not off-topic... Since you are using a base control that supports "TapGestureRecognizer" interactions, I would suggest not using a button as your base, or at least setting the input "transparency".

I don't really get what you're trying to say here, but I've upgraded this to #19099.
