I have a cross-platform library written with C++, I use this library to create model and display it with OpenGL. Now I'd like to choose MAUI to create a desktop application and call above library to complete interactions. Now I need a sample for reference on how to collabrate with c++ library/codes in MAUI application.

Hi @Yang Yang , We can use P/Invoke to consume a native library, you could try to check this doc - Use C/C++ libraries with Xamarin , then try to adjust to implement a version of MAUI. Please feel free to let me know if you have any other issues. Best Regards, Wenyan Zhang If the answer is the right solution, please click " Accept Answer " and kindly upvote it.

The referenced article is very good! I myself used it to successfully make the NuGet packages for 2 C++ libraries I needed for my Xamarin.Forms mobile application. The article was, however, written in 2019 for Xamarin (which is now depreciated) on Visual Studio for Mac (which will no longer be supported soon). Now I am converting my apps to MAUI. Is there something similar written for MAUI and Visual Studio 2022 for Windows? I haven't been able to find anything so far and don't know exactly how to "adjust to implement a version of MAUI".
