How does it handle local API debugging on Android?

The skill provides the necessary XML configuration for network_security_config.xml to allow clear-text HTTP traffic specifically for the 10.0.2.2 loopback address used by Android emulators.

Does it support the IHttpClientFactory pattern?

Yes, it includes registration patterns for both singleton HttpClient instances and the more flexible IHttpClientFactory approach for managing client lifecycles.

Does this skill handle authentication tokens?

No, this skill focuses on the networking layer and CRUD operations. For handling auth tokens, you should use the companion 'maui-authentication' skill.

How are JSON responses handled?

It utilizes System.Text.Json with standardized naming policies, specifically CamelCase, to ensure compatibility between C# models and standard web API responses.

Mobile Development

Streamlines the implementation of robust REST API consumers in .NET MAUI apps using HttpClient, DI, and industry-standard patterns.

The maui-rest-api skill provides a comprehensive blueprint for integrating external web services into .NET MAUI projects. It facilitates the creation of clean service interfaces, Dependency Injection (DI) registration for HttpClient, and the implementation of full CRUD operations using System.Text.Json. Beyond basic networking, it offers critical guidance on platform-specific configurations for local development—such as Android network security configs and iOS transport security exceptions—ensuring developers can efficiently bridge mobile frontends with backend APIs while adhering to async/await best practices.
