This is a bigger feature request from one user, but in theory we could make a mobile version with the same Avalonia code with a few additional features:

Load/choose/create reports individually based on name (no choosing of working dir)
Take pictures with camera to add to current report
Allow sharing/printing from the app itself
Anything else needed to make this an app

https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/discussions/16663 mentions "MAUI Essentials" for sharing, so we probably have to rely on that lib on mobile for mobile-specific technology
Some helpful info on building: https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/discussions/17203
A tutorial making a barcode scanner that has some helpful info on Info.plist values and such: https://scanbot.io/techblog/avalonia-barcode-scanner-tutorial/
Repo that combines MAUI and Avalonia: https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/AvaloniaMauiHybrid (no updates for 6 months...uhoh)
https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.Samples/issues/43 has a person who built their own libs and stuff; lots of potential info here

Probably need to look at how the avalonia.xplat project is set up. Probably need a shared project for common code and then specific view models or function overrides or whatnot.
