How do I set up xUnit testing for a .NET MAUI application?▼

To set up xUnit testing for .NET MAUI, create a class library targeting the appropriate TFM and add the required xUnit and Moq NuGet packages. This establishes the foundation for running cross-platform mobile tests.

What is the best way to mock MAUI services like ISecureStorage in unit tests?▼

The best way to mock MAUI services like ISecureStorage and IConnectivity is using the Moq library. This Skill provides strategies for mocking common MAUI interfaces to isolate ViewModels during unit testing.

How do I test ViewModels in .NET MAUI?▼

Test ViewModels in .NET MAUI by implementing patterns that mock their service dependencies using Moq. This isolates the ViewModel logic, ensuring maintainable and reliable unit tests for cross-platform mobile applications.

Does xUnit work with .NET MAUI for on-device testing?▼

Yes, xUnit works with .NET MAUI for on-device testing. This Skill provides information on running tests directly on emulators or physical devices, extending beyond local execution to validate cross-platform mobile behavior.

What NuGet packages do I need for a .NET MAUI test project?▼

You need the xunit, xunit.runner.visualstudio, Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk, and Moq packages for a .NET MAUI test project. Adding coverlet.collector also enables code coverage collection during local test execution.
