How to use Service Extension for UNNotificationServiceExtension with MAUI ?

Question

I'm trying to implement iOS push notifications by following this guide:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/platform/user-notifications/enhanced-user-notifications

At the end, there is "Implementing a Service Extension" which is exactly what I need since I have encrypted messages.
But I don't see how to do this with MAUI project or new net6-android framework ?

If someone have some example or can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful !

Thanks :)

Hello @Peter Bozovic ,

You can refer to the above Xamarin guide doc to implement a service extension in MAUI project.

1. Use the latest Visual Studio 2022 Preview and create a .net MAUI app.
2. Follow the doc to implement a Notification Service Extension, the UserNotificationCenterDelegate should be under the Platforms/iOS folder in MAUI ( it's under iOS project in Xamarin)
3. Set the MAUI project as your main project, and add the extension project as a reference to within the MAIN MAUI app: right-click the solution, click "Set as Startup Project", then right-click "Dependencies", click "Add Project Reference" and check the Notification Service Extension you created.

If you have any other issues, please feel free to let me know.
