I used refit first to get the data back from the typicode.json API but I have to do caching also so I tried to follow https://xamgirl.com/improving-the-ux-of-a-xamarin-forms-application-by-caching-data/ this article. But I am stuck now I tried to use static but then there are more errors coming. Also, can someone tell me how to upload this data into my local storage (creating using SQLite). I am new to xamarin*

The type name is `Userscache` and the variable name is the same - don't do that. — DavidG, Jul 12 '21 at 11:12
`var result = await Userscache.GetUsersAsync();` -> `var result = await Usercache.GetUsersAsync();`? — Retired Ninja, Jul 12 '21 at 11:15

public IUsers Usercache = new Userscache();

this was the issue

public IUsers Userscache = new Userscache();

its not showing any error know but after building the app in emulator when i click get users it doesn't show anything

is my ICommand is wrong or is there any issue with my xaml code and bindings
