Lifecycle

Test app states, themes, links, and power values. This tool needs Pro.

Set up

Add this call beside UseBuoy in your app setup. Builder calls must come before builder.Build(). They use using Buoy.Maui;. Keep Buoy code in Debug guards. Here, services is your app's service provider.

builder.UseBuoyLifecycle();

// Bind a window after the app creates it.
var lease = BuoyLifecycle.AttachWindow(window, services);
window.Destroying += (_, _) => lease.Dispose();

builder.UseBuoyLifecycle();

// Bind a window after the app creates it.
var lease = BuoyLifecycle.AttachWindow(window, services);
window.Destroying += (_, _) => lease.Dispose();

Read BuoyLifecycle.CurrentState for the test state. Use StateChanged and Signal to hear app events. Read BuoyLifecycle.Power for test power values. Drop your event handlers when the view is done.

Tests do not pause threads or stop the process. Calls to Battery.Default still read real power. Theme tests also set the app's MAUI theme. MAUI has no RN JavaScript reload. There is no app reload hook for relaunch here. Real OS state events end a live state test.
