Tools
Each tool has its own setup call. The tool guide shows the steps and limits.
| Tool | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Network | See web calls and test mock replies. |
| Env | Check app values and rules you pass in. |
| Storage | Read and edit known app keys. |
| Events | See web calls and store events in one list. |
| Console | Read, search, and filter app logs. |
| Clock | Change time read through the Buoy clock. |
| Lifecycle | Test app state, theme, and power changes. |
| Routes | See the page stack and open known paths. |
| Location | Test places and trips through the Buoy wrapper. |
| Permissions | Test what the app does with each grant. |
Ask Buoy adds chat inside your app. It needs Pro and uses the tools you add. MAUI does not have React stores or React render tools. Each tool page lists more gaps from React Native.
What you need
Use .NET 10 and its MAUI workload. The SDK has these targets and OS floors:
| Target | Lowest OS version |
|---|---|
net10.0-ios | iOS 15.0 |
net10.0-android | Android API 24 |
net10.0-maccatalyst | Mac Catalyst 15.0 |
The host uses Microsoft.Maui.Controls version 10.0.20.
The core targets net10.0.
Tests so far cover iOS and Android.
Mac Catalyst is a build target, with no test claim here.
