Description

Starting with Android 15.0 (API 35) apps are displayed 'Edge to Edge' by default. https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/behavior-changes-15#window-insets

It seems that .NET MAUI still adds content insets when using Shell but when using normal pages it does not. The result is that page content extends underneath the system bars (status and navigation) where it previously did not on older android versions.

There is a way to opting out of the new behaviour:
https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/insets-handling-tips-for-android-15s-edge-to-edge-enforcement-872774e8839b

First, you need to add values-v35/styles.xml and values/styles.xml files:

In the values-v35/styles.xml declare a style:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<resources>
    <style name="OptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement">
        <item name="android:windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement">true</item>
    </style>
</resources>

You need to add a style with the same name in the values/styles.xml file (without the attribute):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<resources>
    <style name="OptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement">
    </style>
</resources>

Now in your MainActivity.cs override the OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState) and apply the style you created:

[Activity(Theme = "@style/Maui.SplashTheme", MainLauncher = true, LaunchMode = LaunchMode.SingleTop, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation | ConfigChanges.UiMode | ConfigChanges.ScreenLayout | ConfigChanges.SmallestScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Density)]
public class MainActivity : MauiAppCompatActivity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState)
    {
        // Must apply the style before the DecorView setup
        Theme?.ApplyStyle(Resource.Style.OptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement, force: false);

        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }
}
