By default, any exceptions that are thrown by your JavaScript code will be sent to .NET, where they're re-thrown as .NET exceptions.

In addition, you can customize initialization and access platform web views to tweak settings when the native view is ready (for example, use `RunAfterInitialize` on Windows or adjust `WKWebView` configuration on iOS/Mac Catalyst). For details, see [Customize initialization and access platform web views](~/user-interface/controls/hybridwebview.md?view=net-maui-10.0&preserve-view=true#customize-initialization-and-access-platform-web-views).

#### New Events

Adds initialization events to `HybridWebView` following the same pattern as `BlazorWebView`, enabling platform-specific customization before and after initialization.

### Page

The `IsBusy` property is marked obsolete.
The `IsBusy` property is marked obsolete. In .NET 10 we recommend using <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.ActivityIndicator> (or a similar UX) for page or view-specific busy states and avoiding long-lived global busy indicators. For guidance, see [ContentPage](~/user-interface/pages/contentpage.md?view=net-maui-10.0&preserve-view=true).

### Picker

Programmatically control picker state with new Open/Close API.

In addition, <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DatePicker> and <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.TimePicker> support nullable selection in .NET 10. This enables clearing values and binding to nullable types:

- <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DatePicker.Date> is now <xref:System.DateTime?>; <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DatePicker.MinimumDate> and <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DatePicker.MaximumDate> are also nullable.
- <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.TimePicker.Time> is now <xref:System.TimeSpan?>.

For examples and platform notes, see [DatePicker](~/user-interface/controls/datepicker.md?view=net-maui-10.0&preserve-view=true) and [TimePicker](~/user-interface/controls/timepicker.md?view=net-maui-10.0&preserve-view=true).

## RefreshView

Added `IsRefreshEnabled` property to be distinct from `IsEnabled` and make the behavior consistent across platforms.

For more information, see [Play video fullscreen](~/user-interface/controls/webview.md?view=net-maui-10.0&preserve-view=true#play-video-full-screen-on-android).

You can also programmatically enable or disable JavaScript execution on Android with a .NET 10 platform-specific API. For details and a code example, see [WebView](~/user-interface/controls/webview.md?view=net-maui-10.0&preserve-view=true).

### SearchHandler

<xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.SearchHandler> adds APIs to programmatically show or hide the soft keyboard, making it easier to control focus and user input flow:

- `ShowSoftInputAsync`
- `HideSoftInputAsync`

For examples and platform notes, see [Search](~/fundamentals/shell/search.md?view=net-maui-10.0&preserve-view=true). If you use reflection-based properties such as `DisplayMemberName`, review the [trimming guidance](~/deployment/trimming.md?view=net-maui-10.0&preserve-view=true) for feature switches and linker configuration.

## Shell

.NET 10 introduces a toggle to control the shell navigation bar visibility animation. Use `Shell.NavBarVisibilityAnimationEnabled` to enable or disable the animation when the navigation bar shows or hides. See [Shell appearance and behavior](~/fundamentals/shell/index.md?view=net-maui-10.0&preserve-view=true).

## Diagnostics

We've added comprehensive diagnostics and metrics tracking for .NET MAUI applications, focusing on layout performance monitoring with an extensible architecture for future observability needs.

For more information, see [Messenger](/windows/communitytoolkit/mvvm/messenger).

## Shadows

In .NET 10, the `ShadowTypeConverter` class, in the `Microsoft.Maui.Controls` namespace, is now public.

For more information about how shadows can be specified using formatted strings, see [Shadow](~/user-interface/shadow.md).
