barKoder SDK is fully compatible with .NET MAUI, the modern framework that enables you to create native mobile and desktop apps for iOS, Android and Windows, using C# and .NET.
With the barKoder plugin for .NET MAUI, you can easily integrate powerful barcode scanning functionality into your cross-platform applications, delivering a seamless experience across both operating systems.
.NET MAUI offers a unified approach to building native apps, allowing you to write your code once and deploy it across multiple platforms. The barKoder plugin, available via NuGet, supports essential features like continuous scanning and high-performance decoding, ensuring that your apps meet the highest standards of efficiency and reliability. Whether you're building for iOS, Android, or both, barKoder SDK with .NET MAUI provides a comprehensive solution for integrating advanced barcode scanning capabilities into your mobile applications.
.NET MAUI unifies Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows APIs into a single API that allows a write-once run-anywhere developer experience, while additionally providing deep access to every aspect of each native platform.
.NET 6 or greater provides a series of platform-specific frameworks for creating apps: .NET for Android, .NET for iOS, .NET for Mac Catalyst, and Windows UI 3 (WinUI 3) library. These frameworks all have access to the same .NET Base Class Library (BCL). This library abstracts the details of the underlying platform away from your code. The BCL depends on the .NET runtime to provide the execution environment for your code. For Android, iOS, and macOS, the environment is implemented by Mono, an implementation of the .NET runtime. On Windows, .NET CoreCLR provides the execution environment.
.NET MAUI provides a single framework for building the UIs for mobile and desktop apps. The following diagram shows a high-level view of the architecture of a .NET MAUI app.
framework apps for Android, iOS, and Windows can be built in Visual Studio. However, a networked Mac is required for iOS development.
The Barcode Scanner SDK supports scanning the most common barcode types, maximizing efficiency for today's most progressive mobile apps.
We’ve released three full demo applications for .NET MAUI, React Native, and Flutter, allowing you to clone, run, and test barKoder’s advanced barcode scanning capabilities in minutes. With our new Trial page, you can evaluate the SDK instantly — no developer portal account required.
