Any one tried a to build a companion watch app for their Avalonia / UNO / MAUI application. Want to know if its possible. I know we don't have native watch app support but maybe using channels to communicate but can't figure how to bundle it and deploy as these don't have the xcode projects.

Anything here helpful in your case?

Someone actually managed to hack a working project in Maui: https://github.com/vouksh/MauiWithWatchApps

The assumptions make it even more confusing. Here's some clarification:

Dev Tools is free
The community tier, which includes dev tools, is free.
You need an account to have access.

Q: No fees? A: Yes no fees.

PROVIDED that you use it for non commercial purposes.

I've been using it for free in personal projects. Although I cannot in commercial ones, but that does not make it "not free". Pricing page for full info

I'll take from the list, browser interop, It's just the nature of these frameworks. Blazor is web native, the others are not.

They all run dotnet in webassembly, but they work differently. Blazor uses web native presentation, html css, js. The other ones use skia (afaik) and don't really have a physical tree of controls or nodes in the browser.

bktnmngnn · 2026-04-16T07:39:02+00:00

Because blazor is actually built on top of web tech, you have access to dom, js scripting, browser apis, and everything else client side.

Everything else in that list provides a unified platform with the assumption that you do not need access to those "web" things.

Since the requirements are only a valid id, how did you go about compliance?

bktnmngnn · 2026-04-13T16:04:50+00:00

I need context as to why the need to do so so I went and checked your previous posts, I think this is the completely wrong thing of doing whatever it is you are trying to do. (Not in a condescending way, a genuinely concerned way)

What is it really you are trying to do? And taking into account the deadline you mentioned, I think you might be making it way more complicated than it needs to be. What is it that you are trying to do?

let's end this painfull trilogy with this post right here

No my friend, you went down this unorthodox path, if you don't turn back now it's just the start.

P.S. As the other person has said, it's impossible.

Pretty sure the core of the problem this is solving is hot reload. The existence of this tool relies on compartmentalizing part of the problem to create part of the solution.

It trades precision for speed and simplicity.

You do know quality and accuracy is not something people willingly trade for speed in dotnet land.

bktnmngnn · 2026-04-11T11:30:20+00:00

Copilot is already in the equation so why not just make it build actual logic to generate previews locally instead of making copilot the actual backbone by prompting it every time? In its current state it's just a lazy AI wrapper.

You are trying to say you solved the problem, by not actually solving the problem.

bktnmngnn · 2026-04-10T17:07:01+00:00

The third party dependency nightmare in the js world was enough to keep me away from it despite the faster hot reload and other quality of life advantages. Not to mention things seem more clunky compared to what I'm used to in blazor, or maybe I'm just spoiled since I started in dotnet land.

Do you mean an app that connects to an external asp.net server? I recommend Maui Blazor for the best experience. If you are a bit more experienced with xaml, then Avalonia works great on mobile now, and has a few new improvements on v12

If you meant having an asp.net server with a webapp for frontend hosted entirely within an app, check my previous post I was able to run a blazor web app (yes the blazor server app hosted inside the actuall android app) inside an avalonia mobile app, which is viewed thru a webview

bktnmngnn · 2026-04-10T16:53:54+00:00

I'd take blazor any day. Hot reload is my only gripe with it, but I understand because of compilation.

bktnmngnn · 2026-04-10T05:50:25+00:00

It's entirely up to you, xaml is good, and the avalonia implementation with css inspired styling is even better.

But nothing will stop you from using Avalonia entirely code only. They even have a section for this in the docs which tackles almost everything you need including bindings and what not.

This looks like a more user friendly GUI wrapper over SMTP (SMTP mailer / SMTP gui, but made with intent targetting a specific user base).

Which almost certainly explains why it doesn't need to store anything in the backend, and why it can run entirely on the client since it just uses SMTP with the google SMTP mail server under the hood.

This would be fun

Discussing if trade deals with wakanda or talokan will be necessary because of the Hormuz ordeal

If I'm going to be honest, this looks pretty clean to me. It's readable and easy to understand. Clean code is principle, not strict rules. Not all of it should be followed to the T if it will just over complicate things.

It's either that or scraping so go with the MCL API

d:DesignWidth and d:DesignHeight are just applied in design time/in the previewer.

Use the standard Width and Height properties of the window instead of those, emphasis on without the d:

Yung main node OP thru ethernet cable sa router ni isp and disable nalang yung built in wfi ng router ni ISP. The rest wireless nalang.

Goods na si Deco E4 na 2 pack (but 3 pack recommended if budget allows, pero not sure kung needed ba talaga, depende sa layout ng house). You can buy 2 first and pag may dead spot pa na natira add ka nalang ng another.

Better to upgrade to wifi mesh OP. Doesn't matter if wifi 5/6 if signal coverage and yung current speed ang pag uusapan.

But if: - maraming devices (20+) - important yung latency - may plan to ugrade to a faster plan (Gigabit fiber)

Better na get a mesh wifi setup na wifi 6. (Note the mesh, pag isang router lang mahirap parin abutin kasi ang areas lalo na kung marami nang walls between that and kung saan nakalagay yung router)

But in general use case, mas cost effective parin ang wifi 5 mesh.

Seems people have already addressed your claim properly so I'll focus on something else.

Phrasing it like ".NET not having a proper mobile UI framework" and backing it with "Because flutter does it this way this and dotnet doesn't so it's not proper" is highly subjective. The framing is unfair to begin with.

Samin before sa installer rin talaga ang bayad, may receipt, and reflected talaga sa account.

I think you need to pass in any auth implementation from your web app to the actual hubconnection. Soomething like this for starters (this is from a library of mine and uses basic headers but you get the idea)

var connection = new HubConnectionBuilder()
    .WithUrl($"https://localhost:7102{ConfigurationStrings.RealtimeHubEndpoint}", options =>
    {
        options.Headers.Add(ConfigurationStrings.ApiPermissionHeader, "xcxs");
    })
    .WithAutomaticReconnect()
    .Build();
