FAQPage Schema
How do I connect a MAUI app to Aspire backend services?▼

To connect a MAUI app to Aspire backend services, configure the MAUI HttpClient to target real hosted endpoints exposed by the Aspire AppHost while wiring a token handler to attach Bearer tokens.

How does MSAL.NET authentication work with MAUI and Aspire?▼

MSAL.NET authentication for MAUI and Aspire secures API calls by acquiring tokens across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows workflows, attaching Bearer tokens via an HttpClient token handler to access Aspire endpoints.

Can I use Aspire service discovery URIs in my MAUI client?▼

You cannot use Aspire service discovery URIs in a MAUI client because the AppHost does not orchestrate the client, so you must configure HttpClient with real endpoints exposed by the Aspire dashboard.

What is the best way to handle MAUI networking constraints with Aspire?▼

Handling MAUI networking constraints with Aspire requires targeting real endpoints instead of Aspire URIs, addressing Android emulator networking specifics, and configuring HttpClient securely for iOS, macOS, and Windows.

Do I need to configure HttpClient differently for Aspire-hosted APIs on mobile?▼

You need to configure HttpClient for Aspire-hosted APIs on mobile by wiring it with a MSAL.NET token handler that attaches Bearer tokens, ensuring secure access to real endpoints across Android and iOS platforms.
