Description of Change

This has to do with the different implementations of the preferences API on Windows depending on packaged or unpackaged.

  • The .NET 8 template was packaged
  • The .NET 9 template was unpackaged

The implementation differs:

  • packaged uses the ApplicationDataContainer APIs and stores as long and cannot be retrieved as string
  • unpackaged uses a string dictionary that is serialized to a file

The real change comes in at #22815 where that PR had this line: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/22815/files#diff-6ed591e38dc7754551705bf5bb96f992115c384d19166e8dcda76267e177fb0cR196-R197

In .NET 8 everything was a "ToString" system for unpackaged. In .NET 9 there is now a ToBinary.

Issues Fixed
