.NET MAUI Finally Gets Maps Clustering and Long Press - .NET 11 Preview 3

.NET 11 Preview 3 just dropped with some great .NET MAUI improvements. In this video I walk through the highlights.

Curious about the XAML Source Generation? Have a look here: https://youtu.be/3APIPxqpzTc

Maps got a big upgrade:
- Pin clustering with ClusteringIdentifier
- Custom pin icons with ImageSource
- Custom JSON map styling
- MapLongClicked event
- Click events for circles, polygons, and polylines
- IsVisible and ZIndex on MapElements
- Programmatic info-window control

LongPressGestureRecognizer is now built in:
No more toolkit workarounds. Just add it to any view with MinimumPressDuration and a Command. Works across all platforms.

XAML and styling improvements:
- ResourceDictionary entries are now inflated on demand instead of at startup
- Implicit XAML namespace declarations enabled by default
- InvalidateStyle() and VisualStateManager.InvalidateVisualStates() for explicit reapplication during Hot Reload
- MAUI CSS is now trimmable when you don't use stylesheets

Also in this preview:
- iOS notification permission support via Permissions API
- Android 17 / API 37 preview support
- Smaller release builds (77.8 MB down to 41.6 MB on Apple platforms)
- Faster incremental builds (~39s down to ~26s)
