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.
