will maui generate code for c# dlls imported?

Question

From my understanding, we can't import dll into maui as it is already complied. or can we?

will it automatically generate the versions of android, ios and windows for the code in the dll?

Thanks

Hello,

You can import dll into MAUI project, for instance, you could import MAUI class library into your MAUI project.

will it automatically generate the versions of android, ios and windows for the code in the dll?

For a MAUI class library project, it will automatically generate the dll files as the following building log said:

   1>MauiLib1 -> C:\Users\username\source\repos\MauiLib1\MauiLib1\bin\Debug\net6.0-maccatalyst\MauiLib1.dll   
   1>MauiLib1 -> C:\Users\username\source\repos\MauiLib1\MauiLib1\bin\Debug\net6.0\MauiLib1.dll  
   1>MauiLib1 -> C:\Users\username\source\repos\MauiLib1\MauiLib1\bin\Debug\net6.0-ios\MauiLib1.dll  
   1>MauiLib1 -> C:\Users\username\source\repos\MauiLib1\MauiLib1\bin\Debug\net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0\MauiLib1.dll  
   1>MauiLib1 -> C:\Users\username\source\repos\MauiLib1\MauiLib1\bin\Debug\net6.0-android\MauiLib1.dll
