Getting Started

The Prism.Plugin.Popups package for Xamarin.Forms has been hugely popular enabling developers to leverage the PopupPage's from Rg.Plugins.Popup. Following the introduction of the IDialogService, the Popup Plugin was updated to migrate the use of Popup Page's as Dialogs and generally help developers avoid strong dependencies on libraries like Rg.Plugins.Popup as the DialogService could be implemented in other ways in the event that the community package were to fall out of maintenance.

For .NET MAUI Developers, the Popup Plugin will no longer be publicly available on NuGet.org. It instead will only be provided to those with a Commercial Plus license. This is in large part due to the toxic nature of many developers using the plugin over the years who make demands for changes and updates but who never bother to contribute to any Open Source project, nor both to sponsor any Open Source Developers.

If updating your Xamarin.Forms app, particularly from older version of the Popup Plugin where you may have been using the INavigationService to Navigate to your Popup Pages, you will need to take time to re-architect some of your code to instead make use of the IDialogService.

Registering the Popup Plugin

Rg.Plugins.Popup does not support .NET MAUI applications, however the project has been forked and is now called Mopups. To use the Popup Plugin, you must be a Commercial Plus subscriber and have added the private Prism NuGet feed. You can then install Prism.Plugin.Popups.Maui. Once you have installed the package you simply need to call ConfigureMopupDialogs on the PrismAppBuilder.

builder.UseMauiApp<App>()
    .UsePrism(prism => prism.ConfigureMopupDialogs())

Note

Using PopupPage's directly with Prism Navigation is no longer supported. PopupPage's are best used and make the most sense to be used as a Dialog. For this reason you should migrate your code to use the DialogService. Note that Prism.Plugin.Popups for .NET MAUI does expose a number of additional attached properties that you can use to configure the PopupPage that is created by the DialogService.
