Validate MAUI mobile tests

Use this skill for changes involving MAUI target frameworks, mobile runtime packaging, iOS/Android test projects, or .github/workflows/dotnet-maui.yml.

Environment flags

MAUI builds rely on these flags:

$env:USE_WHISPER_MAUI = "true"
$env:USE_WHISPER_MAUI_TESTS = "true"

Clear them after local validation:

Remove-Item Env:\USE_WHISPER_MAUI
Remove-Item Env:\USE_WHISPER_MAUI_TESTS

Restore and build

From the repository root:

$env:USE_WHISPER_MAUI = "true"
$env:USE_WHISPER_MAUI_TESTS = "true"
dotnet workload restore .\Whisper.net.Maui.Tests.slnx
dotnet restore .\Whisper.net.Maui.Tests.slnx
dotnet build .\Whisper.net.Maui.Tests.slnx --no-restore -warnaserror

Device and simulator tests

The CI workflow uses XHarness for simulator/device execution. Prefer matching .github/workflows/dotnet-maui.yml over inventing local commands, because target frameworks and simulator images change over time.

Run mobile tests locally only when the required workloads, SDKs, emulators, and simulator images are installed. Otherwise, validate restore/build locally and rely on CI for simulator execution.
