Customer Impact
Fixes #94230
A customer reported they were having issues upgrading their MAUI app to .NET 8. Specifically, they were having trouble making an https request on Android API 21-23 (Android 5, 5.1, 6). These Android versions are old, but we still provide support for them.
In .NET 8, we changed the way we did hostname verification and we were using an API that only existed on API levels > 23. This change works around that.
Testing
Testing is performed manually using Android emulators running API 21, 22, and 23. The samples provided by the customer work with the fix.
Risk
Low.
