.NET MAUI/Xamarin plugins
To utilize platform features in a cross-platform manner, we typically create components known as plugins. In .NET MAUI plugins (or Xamarin plugins), we establish cross-platform APIs to access native platform features or services. These plugins empower you to write platform-independent code in your shared project while concurrently harnessing native functionality on each platform (Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows).
Plugins abstract platform-specific code, enabling you to use a standardized API in your shared project for accessing native features. This streamlines development and helps you maintain a neater and more readable codebase that adheres to the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern.
Although I have used the term “.NET MAUI plugins,” it’s important to note that it’s not limited purely to .NET MAUI. In fact, it’s possible to develop a plugin that can be used by both .NET MAUI and Xamarin.Forms simultaneously....
