Mobile Platform Native Capabilities Integrate

When you need an LWC that talks to the device hardware (barcode scanner, biometrics, NFC, location, document scanner, payments, AR capture, and more), this routes Claude through the lightning/mobileCapabilities module with the correct type definitions and availability gating. It knows to check isAvailable() before every call, use the non-deprecated APIs (avoiding things like the old beginCapture/resumeCapture/endCapture triple for barcode), and map rejection codes to the right failure enums. Works across eleven native capabilities with a shared BaseCapability pattern. The workflow is lookup the capability, load the reference docs, wire it with try/catch and graceful desktop fallback. Explicitly excludes offline validation and generic SLDS component selection, which have their own skills.

Using Mobile Native Capabilities

The lightning/mobileCapabilities module exposes a set of factory functions that return service objects for native device features (barcode scanning, biometrics, location, etc.). Each service extends a common BaseCapability with an isAvailable() method, so an LWC can degrade gracefully on surfaces where the capability is not present (desktop, mobile web).

This skill routes an agent through (1) picking the right capability, (2) loading the authoritative type definitions, and (3) wiring the service into an LWC with the correct availability gating, error handling, and deprecation-aware API choice.
