I have worked on Xamarin android and in android I am able to print with Bluetooth printer but I am not able to find any solution that work on Xamarin IOS.

Is any dependency services can be used to find near by devices in Xamarin IOS and Print it on any Bluetooth device.

  • What sort of Bluetooth printer? Your printer will either need to support BLE so that you can use Core Bluetooth or it will need to have an MFi sdk that you can include in your app. You cannot use legacy Bluetooth SPP – Paulw11 Dec 15 '22 at 06:25

  • @Abhi how are you able to print with Android? What library are you using? – Saamer Dec 15 '22 at 12:51
  • @Saamer i have used the shiny library "https://www.xamboy.com/2020/04/20/bluetooth-printing-in-xamarin-forms-using-shiny/" and one more blog for the android "https://ozaksut.com/xamarin-forms-bluetooth-printer-chapter-1-android/" – Abhi Dec 15 '22 at 13:04
  • Did you place an exception catchpoint https://stackoverflow.com/a/71780866/11104068 and read the application output logs, and you don't see any errors? – Saamer Dec 15 '22 at 13:08
  • @Saamer no i am not getting any error except i am not getting device in search, i am getting every devices on scanning except the bluetooth printer – Abhi Dec 15 '22 at 13:43
  • @Abhi if you use any other iOS app, are you able to see that bluetooth printer in the list? – Saamer Dec 15 '22 at 16:17
