Implement MVVM architecture in .NET MAUI by structuring applications with the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm library. This approach separates UI logic from business logic, providing pre-defined patterns and boilerplate code to streamline cross-platform UI development efficiently.

Set up shell navigation in .NET MAUI by using the built-in shell framework to create navigable user interfaces. This pattern routes users between pages efficiently, reducing navigation boilerplate while maintaining a structured cross-platform UI hierarchy.

Use dependency injection in .NET MAUI by registering platform-specific implementations like photo picking services in a shared container. This allows cross-platform code to resolve Android and iOS specific services dynamically at runtime without direct platform references.

Access platform services like photo picking in .NET MAUI by using dependency injection to inject platform-specific code for Android and iOS. This pattern abstracts native functionality behind a shared interface, allowing cross-platform UI to invoke device features seamlessly.

You need the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm library to properly implement the MVVM architecture patterns. The Skill's components include scripts and references that provide architectural guidance and boilerplate code for setting up shell navigation and dependency injection.

Yes, these .NET MAUI patterns target cross-platform UI development on both Android and iOS. The included platform services offer specific boilerplate code for accessing native features like photo picking, ensuring applications run seamlessly across multiple platforms.
