Answer 1

You can use PushAsync or PushModalAsync after setting the AccessToken

For example:

await App.Current.MainPage.Navigation.PushAsync(new dashboardPage(), true);

In order to display an Alert from viewmodel you can use:

await Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Error", "Login message here", "Dismiss");
