Initialize Method

Summary

Initializes the LEADTOOLS class library for use.

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.

If you do not set a valid runtime license for your application using SetLicense, then you must call this static method prior to using any other LEADTOOLS functionality. This method must be called from the main / UI thread of your application. Failure to call this method as described above will cause other LEADTOOLS methods to throw a Kernel Expired exception or behave in an undefined manner.
