SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

MAUI apps often need on-device alerts without relying on server-side push; this skill provides a unified path to implement local notifications across Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst, handling permissions, channels, and lifecycle integration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-platform INotificationManagerService interface with platform-specific implementations and DI wiring.
  • Immediate and scheduled local notifications with platform-specific handling (Android channels, iOS/Mac prompts, and tap actions).
  • Permission handling, lifecycle integration, and DI registration to simplify usage in MAUI apps.

Quick Start

Enable permissions on Android, register the MAUI platform service, and call SendNotification with a title and message to trigger an alert.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule local notifications in a .NET MAUI app across iOS and Android?

Scheduling local notifications in .NET MAUI requires a shared interface like INotificationManagerService with platform-specific implementations under Platforms/ to handle iOS and Android differences. This approach manages immediate and scheduled alerts, covering permission requests and Android channel setup.

Do I need to configure notification channels separately for Android when using MAUI local notifications?

Android notification channels require separate configuration when implementing local notifications in MAUI. Platform-specific implementations under the Platforms/ directory handle Android channel setup, while iOS and Mac Catalyst manage notification permissions and prompts through their respective lifecycle integrations.

Can I use dependency injection to register local notification services in MAUI?

Dependency injection registration is supported for local notification services in MAUI through compile-time guards and a shared INotificationManagerService interface. This DI wiring connects platform-specific implementations, simplifying the invocation of notification methods across Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst.

What is the best way to handle notification permissions across iOS, Android, and Mac Catalyst in MAUI?

Handling notification permissions across iOS, Android, and Mac Catalyst in MAUI involves using a unified INotificationManagerService interface with platform-specific implementations. This setup manages permission prompts and lifecycle integration, ensuring on-device alerts function without relying on server-side push notifications.

Why are my MAUI local notifications not showing up on Mac Catalyst?

Mac Catalyst local notifications in MAUI require specific platform implementations and lifecycle integration. If alerts fail, verify the INotificationManagerService implementation under Platforms/ handles Mac Catalyst permission prompts and that DI registration includes compile-time guards for the target platform.

How to trigger immediate alerts in MAUI without server-side push notifications?

Triggering immediate alerts in MAUI without server-side push involves registering the MAUI platform service and calling SendNotification with a title and message. This unified path leverages on-device local notifications across Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst, handling permissions and channel setup.
