Does socket mobile SDK support Xamarin APP or Windows Universal APP?

Does socket mobile SDK support Windows Universal APP ? I would like to use ScanAPI from Socket Mobile.

What about the XAMARIN support?

Solution

  • Does socket mobile SDK support Windows Universal APP

    Probably not, there is no any documents or blogs talk about the support for Windows Runtime platform/UWP, although in the ScanAPI document

    It mentioned Windows Mobile:

    The C# version uses a wrapper. ScanAPI has been compiled as a native (unmanaged) DLL. This DLL is ScanAPIDLL.dll for Windows platforms and ScanAPIDLLWM.dll for Windows Mobile platform. The managed API is assembled in ScanAPIManaged.dll for Windows platforms and in ScanAPIManagedWM.dll for the Windows Mobile platforms.

    But it looks like this represents a family of mobile operating systems developed by Microsoft several years before instead of our universal platform：Wiki

    What about the XAMARIN support

    Actually, the Barcode Scanner API has added support for several Models of Socket Mobile, see here
