What it does

Maui Permissions is an agent skill from davidortinau/maui-skills. .NET MAUI runtime permissions guidance — checking and requesting permissions, PermissionStatus handling, custom permissions via BasePlatformPermission, platform-specific manifest/plist declarations, and DI-friendly service patterns. USE FOR: "request permission", "check permission", "PermissionStatus", "runtime permission", "BasePlatformPermission", "custom permission", "Android manifest permission", "Info.plist permission", "permission denied handling". DO NOT USE FOR: geolocation-specific permissions (use…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/permissions-api.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Android and iOS. The repository describes itself as: .NET MAUI skills for GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

: request permission
Check permission
PermissionStatus
Runtime permission

Example prompts

“request permission”
“check permission”
“PermissionStatus”
“/maui-permissions”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Requesting without checking first
Calling permissions in a constructor
Ignoring Denied and Restricted status

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79bb4bf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are csharp).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Maui Permissions loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 165 tokens; SKILL.md has 201 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~165
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~2.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.NET MAUI Permissions — Gotchas & Best Practices

Critical Anti-Patterns

1. Requesting without checking first

csharp

// ❌ Shows prompt even if already granted
var status = await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Camera>();

// ✅ Check first — avoids unnecessary prompts
var status = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.Camera>();
if (status != PermissionStatus.Granted)
    status = await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Camera>();

2. Calling permissions in a constructor

Permission APIs are async and require a UI context. Constructors can't await.

csharp

// ❌ Blocks the UI thread or throws
public MyViewModel()
{
    var status = Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Camera>().Result;
}

// ✅ Use OnAppearing, a command, or async initialization
protected override async void OnAppearing()
{
    await CheckAndRequestPermissionAsync<Permissions.Camera>();
}

3. Ignoring Denied and Restricted status

csharp

// ❌ Only checks for Granted — misses edge cases
if (status == PermissionStatus.Granted) { /* proceed */ }

// ✅ Handle all relevant statuses
switch (status)
{
    case PermissionStatus.Granted: /* proceed */ break;
    case PermissionStatus.Limited: /* iOS partial access */ break;
    case PermissionStatus.Denied:
    case PermissionStatus.Restricted:
        await ShowSettingsPromptAsync(); break;
}

Platform Pitfalls

⚠️ iOS: One-shot permission dialog

iOS shows the system permission dialog only once per permission, ever. After denial, RequestAsync returns Denied immediately without showing UI. You must guide the user to Settings → App → Permission.

⚠️ Android: ShouldShowRationale timing

ShouldShowRationale returns true only after a prior denial (but not after "Don't ask again"). Use it to show explanatory UI before re-requesting:

csharp

if (Permissions.ShouldShowRationale<Permissions.Camera>())
{
    await Shell.Current.DisplayAlert("Permission needed",
        "Camera access is required to scan barcodes.", "OK");
}
status = await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Camera>();

⚠️ Android API 33+: StorageRead/StorageWrite are dead

On Android 13+, StorageRead and StorageWrite always return Granted (scoped storage makes them meaningless). Use granular media permissions instead:

csharp

// ❌ Always returns Granted on API 33+ — gives false confidence
await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.StorageRead>();

// ✅ Use the specific media permission
await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Photos>();       // photo access
await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Media>();         // audio/video

⚠️ Windows: Most permissions always return Granted

Windows doesn't have runtime permission dialogs for most features. Declare capabilities in Package.appxmanifest instead.

Always-Check-Before-Request Pattern

The recommended pattern handles iOS one-shot and Android rationale:

csharp

public async Task<PermissionStatus> CheckAndRequestPermissionAsync<T>()
    where T : Permissions.BasePermission, new()
{
    var status = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<T>();
    if (status == PermissionStatus.Granted)
        return status;

    if (status == PermissionStatus.Denied && DeviceInfo.Platform == DevicePlatform.iOS)
        return status; // iOS won't show dialog again

    if (Permissions.ShouldShowRationale<T>())
    {
        await Shell.Current.DisplayAlert("Permission needed",
            "This feature requires the requested permission.", "OK");
    }

    return await Permissions.RequestAsync<T>();
}

Checklist

CheckStatusAsync called before every RequestAsync
No permission calls in constructors — use OnAppearing or commands
All PermissionStatus values handled (Denied, Restricted, Limited)
Android: ShouldShowRationale shown before re-requesting
iOS: Settings navigation provided for denied permissions
Android API 33+: using Photos/Media instead of StorageRead/StorageWrite
Manifest/plist declarations match runtime permission requests

Can I use Maui Permissions in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davidortinau/maui-skills --skill maui-permissions -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/maui-permissions, .gemini/skills/maui-permissions, .github/skills/maui-permissions and .opencode/skills/maui-permissions in your project.

What does Maui Permissions need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Maui Permissions is instructions for the agent only.
