Using Platform-Specific Features

In the last six chapters, we developed a fundamental password manager app. So far, all platform-specific features have been managed by .NET MAUI, making the developed features appear platform-agnostic. However, addressing platform-specific features is not always avoidable. In this chapter, we will delve into the implementation of such features.

We will explore how to utilize device features on supported platforms. By applying the knowledge gained in this chapter, we will incorporate fingerprint support and a customized Markdown view into our app.

While this chapter does touch on platform-specific features, its primary focus isn’t platform-specific programming. Delving deeper into platform-specific implementations would require specific programming knowledge for Android, iOS, WinUI, and so on. Given this would require a considerable amount of knowledge, instead of teaching you to write your own plugins or specific UI controls for each...
