How to Send Toaster like Notification in MAUI MAC OS Application ?

Question

Hi,

We have developed MAUI Application for Windows and MACOS, and we have Successfully implemented Toaster notification ( side pop up balloon like notifications) for Windows using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/send-local-toast?tabs=uwp

How do we implement Balloon / Toaster notification for MAUI MacOS (mac catalyst).

Hello,

This Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications nuget package apply for the WPF, UWP, WinForms, console, you cannot use it in the mac catalyst.

if you want to pusho notification in the Mac catalyst, you can use native iOS api: UNUserNotificationCenter, you can refer to the following code.

#if MACCATALYST
            var content = new UserNotifications.UNMutableNotificationContent
            {
                Title = "Warning! ",
                Body = "This is an alert!",
                CategoryIdentifier = "WARNING_ALERT",
                Sound = UserNotifications.UNNotificationSound.DefaultCriticalSound
            };


           var trigger = UserNotifications.UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger.CreateTrigger(5, false);


           var request = UserNotifications.UNNotificationRequest.FromIdentifier("ALERT_REQUEST", content, trigger);


           UserNotifications.UNUserNotificationCenter.Current.AddNotificationRequest(request, (error) =>
            {
                if (error != null)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Error: " + error);
                }
            });
#endif
