Usage

Register in MauiProgram:

builder.AddPostHog(options =>
{
    options.ApiKey = "phc_your_project_key";
    options.Host = "https://eu.i.posthog.com";   // or https://us.i.posthog.com
    options.CaptureScreenViews = true;
    options.Autocapture = true;                   // iOS UI element interactions
    options.SessionReplay = true;
    options.Replay.MaskAllTextInputs = true;
});

Then inject IPostHog anywhere:

public class HomeViewModel(IPostHog posthog)
{
    public void OnPurchase() =>
        posthog.Capture("purchase", new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            ["plan"] = "pro",
            ["amount"] = 49.0,
        });
}

IPostHog surface: Capture, Identify, Screen, Alias, Group, IsFeatureEnabled, GetFeatureFlag, GetFeatureFlagPayload, ReloadFeatureFlags, Register/Unregister, DistinctId, Reset, Flush, OptIn/OptOut, StartSessionReplay/StopSessionReplay.

Overriding behavior

PostHogService is public on each platform and every member is virtual. Subclass it (under Platforms/iOS or Platforms/Android), override what you need, call base to keep the native behavior, and register your type:

public class MyPostHog : PostHogService
{
    public MyPostHog(PostHogOptions options) : base(options) { }

    public override void Capture(string eventName, IDictionary<string, object>? properties = null)
    {
        properties ??= new Dictionary<string, object>();
        properties["app_build"] = AppInfo.BuildString;
        base.Capture(eventName, properties);   // Client is available via the protected property
    }
}

// register the subclass:
builder.AddPostHog<MyPostHog>(o => o.ApiKey = "phc_your_project_key");

Rebuilding the iOS xcframework

PostHog.xcframework under src/Maui.Posthog.iOS/ is prebuilt from posthog-ios 3.69.3. To regenerate against a newer tag, clone the source into scripts/posthog-ios (git clone --depth 1 --branch <tag> https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-ios.git scripts/posthog-ios) and run scripts/build-xcframework.sh; it archives the PostHog scheme for device + simulator with BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES, runs xcodebuild -create-xcframework, and strips the vendored scripts Apple rejects in embedded frameworks. Copy the result over src/Maui.Posthog.iOS/PostHog.xcframework, then diff the regenerated Headers/PostHog-Swift.h against the previous one and update the binding surface in src/Maui.Posthog.iOS/ApiDefinition.cs.

Notes

• iOS binds the @objc surface of the Swift SDK. PostHogSDK keeps its mangled Swift runtime name (_TtC7PostHog10PostHogSDK); PostHogConfig / PostHogSessionReplayConfig use clean names.
• Android reaches the Kotlin PostHogAndroid companion via a small JNI shim (Additions/PostHogAndroid.cs) because the generator does not surface generic companion methods.
• Android apps need SupportedOSPlatformVersion 24 or higher: this binding targets 24, and posthog-android's own manifest requires at least 23, so a lower minSdk fails the manifest merge.
• Transforms/Metadata.xml widens PostHogStateless.getConfig() to public (C# can't narrow access on an override) and drops the two com.posthog.internal Gson deserializers, whose generic JsonDeserializer<T> can't satisfy IJsonDeserializer.Deserialize.
