I have come across the same issue and solved it by disabling compiled bindings either globally or at least those that are bound to the class.

e.g)

[XamlCompilation (XamlCompilationOptions.Skip)]
public partial class HomePage: ContentPage
{
…
}

disabling compiled binding is fixed the issue. – Folio

Could you check if this issue has been reported already in the MAUI repository: github.com/dotnet/maui/issues? If not, please create a new issue using the bug template, because compiled bindings should also work in Release mode. – Halloo
