What is Shiny?
Shiny is a cross-platform .NET framework that simplifies working with device hardware services and background processes on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. It handles platform-specific complexities like permissions and main thread traversal while providing a clean, testable API for features like Bluetooth LE, location services, and push notifications.
.NET developers building mobile or desktop applications that require background processing or device hardware access across multiple platforms, particularly those using Xamarin or .NET MAUI.
Developers choose Shiny because it provides a consistent, testable API for device services and background processing across all major platforms, handles platform-specific complexities automatically, and brings proper infrastructure patterns like dependency injection and logging to background code.
