Accessing Native Platform APIs in .NET MAUI

[@drawcoder]

Solid, the lazy load DI and same namespace across platforms are excellent tips. 🏆

[@JamesMontemagno]

Glad it was helpful!

[@geekincoder6435]

Only this week I’ve started using MAUI and you couldn’t have timed this tutorial more perfectly! 😅 I’d love to see a tutorial on creating custom Gestures in MAUI as sometimes swipe, taps and drag/drops isn’t enough. 😊

[@DanFlakes]

Last week I was working on native bottom sheets and I have to say the DI way worked out great !

[@JamesMontemagno]

Nice!!! That is great to hear!!

[@paulluc5116]

Really appreciate the content, James. Keep up the great work. Might you be able to provide guidance related to integration with 3rd party platform-specific SDKs containing a multitude of dependencies?

[@MultiKokee]

excellent video, thanks James

[@rodionradchenko7708]

Just managed to get Apple's ARKit running in a programmatically created UIViewController all within MAUI. So fast to prototype and iterate without the need of a mac build host. Thanks James!

[@TioPew]

I do really love your videos, true MVP.

[@ademineshat]

Great videos as always. It could be great to see "From Start to Finish app" but some real world stuff. Thanks James 😍

[@allied-data]

Great! Also looking forward to the next video. I need that one too!

[@RickardApps]

Very nice!

[@yaKaiZen]

Thanks, James! Another great video!

[@alexdodd5175]

@James Montemango thanks for this guide. Please make one for JAR and XCFRAMEWORK linking to the MAUI app. Thanks.

[@StockFootageCollective]

This is the video we needed.

[@johnaldridge7454]

Hi James great content as usual. I am struggling to resource any Bluetooth LE so I can communicate with our own hardware. I only need a kick start in the right direction with .NET MAUI. Something simple like search and connect button with the ability to read and write characteristics would be fantastic. 😅

[@JamesMontemagno]

Look at the library called Shiny, does it all for you

[@Shoyer01]

Awesome!! Thank you!

[@josedonizeteoliveirajunior1744]

Awesome, thanks for video

[@brendan1516]

James, love your videos. I'm about to start on a journey into my own app development and have been looking towards .NET MAUI for a while, but I have a question that I can't find the answer to. Will I be able to create apps that have can have features locked for premium subscriptions? So I can offer a basic set of features for Free, with the hope of gaining app subscribers for the most value adding functionality?

[@DanielHarrisCodes]

You could definitely implement this. The various platforms usually have their own way to offer in-app purchases through the platforms store. You could have them sign up outside of the store on your website (like Spotify) and then when they login your backend could determine if they are licensed

[@GuildOfCalamity]

Did not see the link you promised for Johnathan's blog post?

[@vtome4165]

Great video, thanks a lot!

[@darshangandhi559]

Hi James, it would be good if you can give live demo of how to use native .so and .DLL files with maui

[@cjtg82]

Hi James, I have been looking for information about migrating a Xamarin Native app to MAUI. There is plenty of blogs and material for Xamarin.Forms to MAUI tho. The only thing I found was that you have two options: 1. Do not migrate to MAUI and just upgrade you Xamarin Native projects to .NET 6 (or7). 2. Migrate the Xamarin native UI to Xamarin Forms and then to MAUI, or to MAUI directly. Are those two approaches correct? can you make a video explaining the best approach?

[@danielblakeley2995]

yes please

[@micomc]

More MAUI!

[@anthonysarkis398]

hi, first, thanks for the video. but it seems like i might be missing something here. is there a previous part for this video? just to figure out where the binding came from? thank you

[@Brendan2Alexander]

I like this channel better than kitten videos. Awesome vid thank u!

[@rampoona67]

Saludos muy buen video

[@TioPew]

Hi James, I've tried to use EF on maui, using sqlite libs, but it doenst compile, tried everything, it says android is no compatible.

[@SathishKumar-yn7fq]

Hi James, Can you suggest me any Bluetooth LE framework to communicate with hardware in .NET MAUI. Like read and write characteristics with examples. Need to support both iOS and Android.

[@massimoconti5431]

Also Windows and MacOS support is needed.

[@JamesMontemagno]

Looks at the library called Shiny

[@alessandrosimonelli5878]

Grazie.

[@zorzional]

Hello, I am working on a project in which I use usb device on Android device. However I cannot find any example with .net maui. Could you please help how I can use Android.Hardware.Usb ?

[@JamesMontemagno]

You would just write that code in C# in the Android folder: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/platform-integration/invoke-platform-code?view=net-maui-8.0

[@akshayjain4001]

@JamesMontemagno anything in MAUI community for charts?

[@mrgujjabillionaire]

Hi James Thanx for the video, but please do me a video where where an app gets current location of user and it geocodes it into address names and then the values are posted onto a label or entry. It is really troubling me, I want to see what am not doing right and I know it will broaden our knowledge further. Thanx buddy

[@imanqoly]

Hi, thanks for your great content. In documentation of .net maui in communication section we have creating email by default email app. But nothing explained whether we have access to inbox to read email. Can you explain

[@JamesMontemagno]

Not to read email. That would be a huge security hole. You would need to implement email protocols and become an email app

[@imanqoly]

@@JamesMontemagno thanks for your answer... that's what I need... I need the app to read the received email programmatically... and then forward it... is there any documentaion for this specific need?

[@mandipshaw]

Hi James ! Mandip this side. Loved your videos a lot. Could you please help me to auto read OTP from SMS in MAUI. That will be great help. I am using MAUI Blazor for my app. :)

[@jstnflnt]

Can a .Net MAUI app access iOS FamilyControls to pull ScreenTime data into the app? I'm struggling and considering restarting the project in XCode to simply "import FamilyControls"

[@JamesMontemagno]

If it is a swift specific API then no, which it looks like it is, but something they are looking into for .NET 9 github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/95633

[@JamesMontemagno]

Although technically maybe through channels... github.com/Redth/Microsoft.Maui.Platform.Channels not sure

[@jstnflnt]

I appreciate the pointer. I'll use my duct tape solution until .NET 9 arrives

[@DeepWorksStudios]

Who gots also issuhes with the ios remote simulator? no matter if i use xcode 13.3 13.4.1 14.0 or 14.0.1 visual studio latest stable version or latest preview does not matter all dont work some more some less. PLESE HELP

[@arthurkelley]

whats the differnece between maui and kotlin multiplatform mobile? is kotlin better? its android native + ios. and in maui its both not native.

[@ВалентинГандрибіда]

Could you make video how to use admob in maui?

[@TheErudito]

[@cliptioncode1638]

When will .NET Maui have an API for Widgets? Would be great if they could provide it 🤗, so we don't have to write Code on our own each time for every Plattform 😅

[@JamesMontemagno]

Probably not, just because they are so dramatically different and on iOS you need to use embedding as widgetkit is only swift. So at this point if you need widgets best to optimize per platform IMHO

[@istomin_19_43]

Maybe some Arkit? Is this possible?

[@victorchisomnwisu9776]

Default interface implementation could shine here maybe since no implementation for ios and windows

[@JamesMontemagno]

Ohhhhhh wow!!! What an amazing idea!!!!

[@yaKaiZen]

12:59 If this redundancy could be minimized at some future release that would be great!

[@massimoconti5431]

James we need Bluetooth LE API with the same interface for all platforms.

[@JamesMontemagno]

Take a look at Shiny -> it does this today shinylib.net/

[@frankfalvaroiii]

Wow, you have a pachinko? :)

[@JamesMontemagno]

My grandparents had it and I was able to save it and restore it a bit :)

[@MuhammadNadeem-wj6xd]

Great

[@aemarco]

Hi :) Show us Tizen... plz

[@sheilainglin863]

😁😁😁👍❤

[@kimpadkjr4730]

Thanks, James. Great video as always!
