Shiny is a cross-platform .NET framework that simplifies working with device hardware services and background processes on iOS, Android, Mac Catalyst, Windows, and more. It provides consistent, testable APIs for background jobs, HTTP transfers, data sync, BLE, GPS, notifications, and network discovery with built-in dependency injection and logging.

Use cases

• run periodic background jobs in a .NET MAUI app
• resumable background uploads and downloads on iOS and Android
• scan and connect to Bluetooth LE peripherals from a mobile app
• geofencing and GPS location tracking in Xamarin or MAUI
• sync JSON data between a mobile app and a server with retry and conflict resolution
• discover local network devices via mDNS or SSDP
• handle local and push notifications across platforms

When to choose

• building a .NET MAUI or Xamarin app that needs background work or device hardware access
• you want a unified API for BLE, GPS, and notifications across iOS and Android
• you need reliable background HTTP transfers or offline data sync in a mobile app

When to avoid

• building a pure web or server-side application with no mobile/device component
• you only need one simple platform-specific capability and prefer native APIs
• your project is not on the .NET stack
