maui-xcode27-migration

maui-xcode27-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dotnet/maui-labs. It costs 207 tokens per session (6,011 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A migration guide for making existing .NET MAUI iPhone and Mac Catalyst apps work with Xcode 27's scene-based app lifecycle. It explains how to move app startup and activity-handling behavior to the newer lifecycle without losing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when checking Xcode 27 compatibility or updating a partially migrated .NET MAUI app with scene files, delegates, or app-level callbacks.
Why use it?
It prevents older app callbacks from being left in places that no longer run correctly after migration. It also clarifies which existing apps need rebuilding and which do not.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

maui-xcode27-migration scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/audit-lifecycle.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Xcode 27 compatibility for existing MAUI apps

Purpose and inputs

Make an existing app scene-ready without losing its lifecycle behavior. This requirement affects ordinary iPhones and iPads too, not just new form factors: apps built against SDK 27 and running on iOS 27 need the scene lifecycle. An existing binary built with an older SDK does not suddenly require a rebuild. This is not a foldable-layout migration or permission to use Xcode 27.1.

Preserve side effects, not obsolete delivery locations. In a scene-enabled app, AppDelegate.Window is null even in FinishedLaunching; there is no "pre-scene window" exception. Keeping cold-only window initialization there does not preserve it. Move its original body to cold connection-option work that runs once the owning scene's window exists. Likewise, application-level ContinueUserActivity registration is not reached by scene forwarding: use SceneContinueUserActivity (or the verified scene override) for warm delivery and process cold UserActivities separately. Once its behavior is moved, remove the obsolete application-level registration; do not leave both paths wired. Each custom shortcut registration, including a logging-only observer, must complete its own acknowledgement. These are migration requirements, not optional cleanup of old code.

Obtain the project/solution, supported OS policy, current SDK/workload/package versions, selected Xcode, and any known startup error. Match the requested mode: implement/migrate means edit the applicable files; show/propose/explain means provide concrete changes without editing; audit-only means findings without edits. When code changes are requested as a proposal, include the requested snippets and edit locations, not just filenames or a reference to this skill. Do not claim a proposal was applied. For an audit-only or plan request, stop before any edits, including "safe" partial scene migrations or version bumps. Do not restore or build during an audit-only request: those create obj/bin files even without source edits. Use file inspection and read-only version/property queries when needed; if they cannot resolve without restore, report the missing evidence. Otherwise perform the read-only inventory first, resolve support decisions, then make the smallest safe changes.
