Can this skill fix Xamarin.Forms project issues?

No, this skill is specifically designed for the .NET MAUI toolchain and does not support legacy Xamarin.Forms requirements.

How does it determine the correct SDK versions?

The skill avoids hardcoded values by dynamically querying NuGet's WorkloadDependencies.json to ensure compatibility with the latest .NET releases.

Does it work on Linux systems?

Yes, it supports Linux specifically for Android development using the maui-android workload.

Why shouldn't I set JAVA_HOME when using this skill?

MAUI tools auto-detect the Microsoft OpenJDK from known paths. Setting JAVA_HOME manually can often override this and lead to conflicts if pointed to a non-Microsoft JDK.
