Hi @jbendler1

There's nothing special involved in doing this - you just have to duplicate your POCO class in each project. The key point is you can't used any .NET MAUI types in your duplicated class.

The 2 projects can be holded in the same VS solution and they refer to the same shared project in which you define your models and DTOs
