.NET MAUI
Build, review, or migrate .NET MAUI applications across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows with correct cross-platform UI, platform integration, and native packaging assumptions.
Trigger On
- working on cross-platform mobile or desktop UI in .NET MAUI
- integrating device capabilities, navigation, or platform-specific code
- migrating Xamarin.Forms or aligning a shared codebase across targets
- implementing MVVM patterns in mobile apps
Workflow
- Confirm target platforms — behavior differs across Android, iOS, Mac, Windows
- Separate shared UI and platform code — use handlers and DI
- Follow MVVM pattern — keep views dumb, logic in ViewModels
- Handle lifecycle and permissions — platform contracts need testing
- Test on real devices — emulators don't catch everything
Deliver
- shared MAUI code with explicit platform seams
- MVVM pattern with testable ViewModels
- navigation and lifecycle behavior that fits each target
- a realistic build and deployment path for the chosen platforms
Validate
- cross-platform reuse is real, not superficial
- platform-specific behavior is isolated and testable
- MVVM pattern is followed consistently
- build assumptions for Mac/iOS and Windows are explicit
- performance is acceptable on target devices
