Description

Description

I am currently using FFImageloading with Xamarin Forms. I am checking out my dependencies in my current project for upgrade to MAUI. FFImageloading is a concern as I used it for fast image rendering on Android & iOS. As the Glide functionality is now integrated into MAUI for Android I have one less concern ;))

Looking at the FFImageloading repo it does not seem to be supported anymore by the authors. In nuget the latest download stats on the latest version is around 4.2 million downloads

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.FFImageLoading/

So alot of developers are going to trip on this library. One of the other features I used FFImageloading for was Retry Count + Retry Delay for redundancy reasons.

This is a must on mobile devices that connects to unstable / intermittent internet connections to prevent for eg a listview from skipping images and displaying nothing.

Any chance that the MAUI team can support Retry Count & Retry Delay within MAUI ?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the current image loading implementation in .NET MAUI, focusing on the Image control and its handler. Investigate how retry logic can be integrated at the platform level (Android using Glide/Coil, iOS using NSUrlSession) and expose retry count and delay as bindable properties. Review Xamarin.FFImageLoading source for reference.
