This issue has been verified in Visual Studio Code 1.101.0 with MAUI versions 9.0.0 and 9.0.90. It can be reproduced on MacCatalyst platform.

Hi @kapilvaishna, The issue “Navigation section present under hamburger is programmatically defined as a table” is not related to .NET MAUI directly, but rather is a native accessibility issue specific to the Mac platform.

In this scenario, the navigation menu rendered under the hamburger icon is exposed to accessibility services as a table, which may not be the expected semantic structure. Since this behavior comes from the underlying macOS implementation, it cannot be fully controlled at the MAUI framework level.
This concern has already been reported and tracked in the following issue: dotnet/maui#16245.
