Library projects targeting net6.0 and UseMaui set to true VSMac project UI properties doesn't work

		<ImplicitUsings>false</ImplicitUsings>

That’s the build that it doesn’t repro for me on… Thank you for trying! We’ve made a change in this area for Preview 2. I’ll reach out again after that is released so we can try and see if it solves it.
