Microsoft has published a second release candidate (RC) of the planned .NET 10 software development platform, featuring a new microphone permission for .NET MAUI (the multi-platform app UI) and enhancements to the Android mobile platform.
Unveiled October 15, RC 2 is slated to be the final release candidate of .NET 10, following .NET 10 RC 1, announced September 9. Developers can download .NET 10 RC 2 at dotnet.microsoft.com. The second RC comes with a go-live support license. General availability of the production release of .NET 10 is expected November 11 or shortly thereafter.
For microphone permission in .NET MAUI, the latest RC adds the Windows implementation of Permissions.RequestAsync, used to request and check access permission for the device microphone. .NET MAUI also has improvements to XAML source generation, notably to debug time view inflation. Additionally for .NET MAUI, edge-to-edge support for unsafe areas in the device display has been added to Android via SafeAreaEdges, Microsoft said.
