Issue with CustomTabsActivityManager and multiple activities about androidx HOT 3 CLOSED

Agreed, I was thinking the same thing. 😉

I suspect anyone who knows why this was written this way is long gone.

However, CustomTabsActivityManager has a public constructor:

public CustomTabsActivityManager (Activity parentActivity)
{
  ParentActivity = parentActivity;
}

You should be able to create whatever CustomTabsActivityManager instances you want and managed their lifetimes however you see fit without using the From method.

Thanks, that should work. I guess now I should head out to the MAUI repo and ask them to drop calling the From method in favor of that constructor.

Btw, if you don't mind, I would like make a PR adding an [Obsolete] attribute on the From method, so that in future there would be less chance that someone would use this method, with the message that it may cause a memory leak by holding the reference to the activity in the static instance field.
