Is Xamarin Forms CollectionView working on macOS?

I've migrated a settings page from Xamarin Forms ListView to CollectionView. All is working on iOS, but nothing is rendered on macOS.

I downgraded Xamarin Forms to 4.7 and pushed it all of the way up to the current preview of 5.0.0.1829-pre6. I've searched the source on git, and I can't even find a renderer for CollectionView. My searches on the web come back with nothing specific.

Is CollectionView supported on macOS? If not, what is the roadmap for support?

As of the current production release (4.8.X), 'CollectionView' is not supported on macOS, it is supported on the following platforms:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • UWP

There is no timeline for official support but I would hope it would become available in 5.X since that version will go into LTS when MAUI takes over. I checked the Xamarin GitHub repo and couldn't find an issue so I raised one for macOS support for CollectionView. Going to the repository is the best way to keep updated, if you show your support they are more likely to do the work 😊
