# Microsoft.Maui.Platform.Channels

A simple bridge for messaging between .NET and iOS/MacCatalyst/Android Platforms at runtime

## Getting Started

 1. Install prerequisites:

    * Install [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/).

    * Install [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio) and JDK 17.

    * Install the latest [.NET 8 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0) and `maui` workload.

 2. Build `Platforms`:

    ```shell

        dotnet build Platforms/build.proj

    ```

 3. Build `Microsoft.PlatformChannels.sln`:

    ```shell

        dotnet build Microsoft.PlatformChannels.sln

    ```

 4. Run the sample

    ```shell

        dotnet build SamplePlatformChannels/SamplePlatformChannels.csproj -t:Run -f net8.0-android

        dotnet build SamplePlatformChannels/SamplePlatformChannels.csproj -t:Run -f net8.0-ios

        dotnet build SamplePlatformChannels/SamplePlatformChannels.csproj -t:Run -f net8.0-maccatalyst

    ```

## ViewChannels

1. Create your platform ViewChannel implementations using whatever platform specific code, libraries/sdks, etc. you like: https://github.com/Redth/Microsoft.Maui.Platform.Channels/blob/main/Platforms/Android/sample/src/main/java/com/microsoft/dotnet/platformchannels/sample/LabelViewChannel.java#L19-L23

2. Reference your platform project from your .NET MAUI project: https://github.com/Redth/Microsoft.Maui.Platform.Channels/blob/main/SamplePlatformChannels/SamplePlatformChannels.csproj#L44

3. Use the `PlatformChannelView` MAUI control to display your ViewChannel: https://github.com/Redth/Microsoft.Maui.Platform.Channels/blob/main/SamplePlatformChannels/MainPage.xaml#L17

4. Send messages across to the platform: https://github.com/Redth/Microsoft.Maui.Platform.Channels/blob/main/SamplePlatformChannels/MainPage.xaml.cs#L18

5. You can receive messages originating from the platform too: https://github.com/Redth/Microsoft.Maui.Platform.Channels/blob/main/SamplePlatformChannels/MainPage.xaml.cs#L48
