Since Xamarin.Forms only has service releases until Nov 2022, which is due to be superseded by .NET MAUI.
Will Zebra continue providing the Xamarin EMDK beyond that date and will Zebra's EMDK support .NET MAUI?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This is currently on our radar screen. We are assessing the impact and the migration path of the Link-OS SDK to support MAUI in .NET 6. On the surface, we don't believe there will be significant changes in the current implementation of the SDK, because the current SDK doesn't have significant dependency on Xamarin.Forms. There will be some work for us to update the code to support .NET 6 and to update the companion developer demo apps.
Hey. Just looking for an update on this. Xamarin forms is being depricated and absorbed into .net MAUI. It will be gone in the next release. We are already on preview 4 and the workloads are set for the next RC. Please let us know. Thanks, Tom

It is approaching 2 years since this was brought to Zebra's attention. Xamarin Forms is being sunset in May. Is a .Net Maui compatible RFID SDK coming soon?
Is there any update on if/when a .NET MAUI compatible EMDK SDK will be released?
Is there any other way to integrate a .NET MAUI app with the Zebra TC52 (Android) or ET51 (Windows) built-in scanners?
Hey guys, we need .net MAUI support soon on the sdk. Xamarin is getting absorbed and will be obsolete. Please give us a detailed update on the time if you can.
Hello everyone. We've been able to implement an RFID/Barcode sample application in .NET MAUI using Zebra EMDK and we're also working on the porting for Blazor as well.
You can have a look at the source code on GitHub https://github.com/XerumSrl/XRFID-Android-Samples
Any feedback is more than welcome.
Greetings of the day

Hello Mugileeshwaran
sorry for the late reply. Your compiler is looking for an external package called com.zebra.mauibarcodesample1 which is strange. Did you manage to properly clone the whole repository?
@DanieleLucca am I understanding correctly that this will only work on Zebra Android devices (e.g., TC2x, TC5x, TC7x)? Or can this work on non-Zebra Android devices too (e.g., my own Android phone)?
Hello Sonny.
I'm sorry but it's going to work only on zebra devices since it's still using EMDK under the hood for barcode and RFID. Also, on the emulator there may be some limitations.
The purpose of this sample is to show how to implement a MAUI app using dependency injection and services and is focused on RFID.
We're also working on a more updated and more comprehensive demo project you can find in our repo XerumSrl/XRFID-Demo (github.com)
You may try to fork the project and change the RFID service or the barcode service in order to use more generic input sources.
In the meanwhile, we're also working on a sample solution using datawedge intents instead of EMDK, but it's in the early stages and will be released Q1 next year.
