MAUI SDK

Using our .NET MAUI SDK makes it easy to integrate Shen.AI into cross-platform applications targeting Android and iOS.

The best way to get started is to build the example app - available here on GitHub .

Installing the SDK

The MAUI SDK is published to NuGet as Shenai.Maui.


dotnet add package Shenai.Maui --version 3.1.1

Replace 3.1.1 with the SDK version you want to ship. The facade package restores the platform binding package needed for the target framework you build.

MauiProgram.cs


using Shenai.Maui;
 
builder.UseShenai();

Custom frame input

MAUI exposes CameraMode.CUSTOM_FRAMES, so you can configure the SDK not to start a camera:


var settings = new InitializationSettings
{
    CameraMode = CameraMode.CUSTOM_FRAMES
};
 
await ShenaiSdk.InitializeAsync(API_KEY, USER_ID, settings);

CustomFrames in MAUI only configures the session. The MAUI binding does not provide a raw frame-submission API, so frames must be submitted from native Android/iOS code through the native SDK APIs shown on the Android and iOS pages.
