Getting Started

Xamarin End of Life Announcement

Anyline has been a longstanding provider of the Mobile SDK for Xamarin, catering to developers' needs for several years. As of autumn 2022, we have seamlessly transitioned our support to encompass the SDK for .NET (MAUI), recognized as the official successor to Xamarin.

In alignment with Microsoft’s recommendation to migrate from Xamarin to .NET, and considering Microsoft’s cessation of support for Xamarin by May 2024, Anyline will discontinue the release of any additional updates, including new features or bug fixes, for Anyline Mobile SDK for Xamarin.

Please find the Anyline Mobile SDK for .NET here.

If you would like to jump into some code directly, a good starting point for development with the Anyline SDK on Xamarin is to check out our Xamarin repository on GitHub. There, you can find example apps for iOS and Android with full source code for use cases that you can use as a starting point for your specialized scanning workflow.
