How does this skill help with multi-targeting?

It provides specific XML configurations for your .csproj file to include or exclude files based on the target platform identifier, such as Android, iOS, or Windows.

When should I use partial classes over conditional compilation?

Partial classes are preferred for complex logic and services to keep code maintainable and testable, while conditional compilation (#if) is best for small, one-off inline platform checks.

Can I use this skill to register platform-specific services?

Yes, it includes patterns for registering different implementations of an interface in MauiProgram.cs based on the current operating system using DI.

Does it support Android-specific Java interop?

Yes, the skill provides examples of accessing Android system services and using C# bindings for native Java APIs via the Android namespace.
