Leadtools.Camera.Xamarin Introduction

Summary

The Leadtools.Camera.Xamarin assembly provides .NET developers with a cross-platform API for accessing mobile camera hardware. Leverage the power of LEADTOOLS combined with the Xamarin.Forms toolkit to build fully native Android and iOS applications using C# in Visual Studio.

LEADTOOLS Leadtools.Camera.Xamarin is a .NET Standard control for mobile development. The DLLs produced allow developers to create applications for deployment to iOS and Android.

Xamarin Framework Deprecation

As of LEADTOOLS v23, The cross-platform Xamarin framework has been deprecated and replaced with LEADTOOLS .NET MAUI framework.

For any LEADTOOLS Xamarin apps you have already built, we recommend you migrate to the LEADTOOLS .NET MAUI framework. To help you with the migration, review the LEADTOOLS .NET MAUI tutorials to get you started.

This change is driven by Microsoft's announcement to end Xamarin support.
