We need a serverside push notification video for MAUI 😊

[dalewalford]

Thanks for the fantastic video dude! I'm just getting started with MAUI off the back of decades working with ASP4+VBS (10yrs) and then ASP.NET+C# (10yrs). So the jump to MAUI is pretty big but I'm finding your videos very handy during this crazy project. Keep up the excellent work!

[theshiva]

this is the exact this I was searching on the internet yesterday, I thought MAUI won't make this, I need to use Native Android, but Thanks Man.

Please, make a video dedicated for cancellation tokens! ^^
I am waiting for it 6 months.. 😂

[hugovazquez]

I want a video about cancellation tokens please

[ricardoalejandroescalantem]

Excelente amigo Gerald !! Aunque no lo necesito por el momento, hace tiempo me preguntaba como hacerlo y que bueno saberlo antes de necesitarlo Saludos desde León Gto Méx.😀

[christianzaragoza]

Excelente aporte @jfversluis, consulta, hay posibilidad de agregar huellas desde una app windows y se puedan verificar desde una app android? Muchas gracias.

Hi dear!! Tks for this amazing video. One question. In real life we need to retrieve som access-token o api keys. How do you manage this scenario for example a login oaut page that return an accesstoken how to bind this?

[dushanmadushanka]

Great video. Is there a way to detect a fingerprint change scenario? For example, if another fingerprint is registered later, how can this be detected?

[realivanjx]

im curious on how to implement automatic user login with just face id without username/email and password. some apps i use seem to be able to do it when i reinstall the app.

Great video. Also, would like to watch more about Cancellation Tokens.

Hello Gerald, thanks for the video!

How should it be properly used in the MVVM pattern? Where is the correct location to put the authentication in?

[jerryrichards]

Thank you for the video. Exactly what I need. I am a little concerned about the number of Xamarin dependencies.

[ScottLaFoy]

Thank you for your video, it was helpful. I have 2 questions.

1 How can I use face id from the windows iOS simulator? I have been looking for a while and can not find it.

2 Is there a way to tell if the device has fingerprint or face id sensors so I can customize the text on the button? I don't want to ask a fingerprint user to log in with face id.

[rianbello]

Hi Gerald, great video and very useful information. I haven't tried it yet, but can I use this for my Blazor Hybrid App? Thanks for your time and kindness in sharing knowledge with us.

[Leodinc]

Very cool! Is it possible to check whether a device has the biometric functionalities and only if so use this plugin? I would like to implement this into an application but i'm not sure every user has biometric available on his device, and my fear is that these user will always see the fail popup... Any ideas?

[DeepWorksStudios]

Awesome thanks for creating this video. I was looking for something like this for a long time :)

[JAVASCRIPT-mvse]

Hi Bro, it's possible to fetch a biometric ID (like a fingerprint or face ID) and store it in a database (If Yes then How?). Thanks for this great Video ❤ 😊

[abughagha]

Does it work on maui app targetting windows as well? If so, I'll be waiting for your incoming video of its implementation for windows 😊🙏🏻

[prithaguha]

Hey I am a MAUI developer, working on biometrics functionality. I want to check if any fingerprint is added in the device Biometrics section. Is there any way to bifurcate that user has added face scan or fingerprint scan as biometrics for Maui Android
I was trying to use Fingerprint Manager's Enrolled fingerprints but it seems to be deprecated
