Solution

  • Oledb is old and may not supported right now as the error message mentioned.

    You can use ADO.NET framework. or SQLite-NET 3rd party library as list in this document to access the data in database.

    There are detailed steps of how to using them in the document.

    Here are some threads I searched about Oledb: How can I access Database .mdb file in Xamarin forms? and unable-to-import-oledbconnection-in-dotnet-core-entity-framework
