I have a native library built by Delphi, which is DLL on windows, dylib on Mac, .a on iOS and .so on Android.
I tested using DllImport attribute on Windows.
But what project folder structure should I put into theses libraries when I build cross platform app?

    Hello,

    How to use native library directly without binding?

    You cannot use native library without binding, because native libraries were written by different developed languages, you need to bind libraries, convert other developed languages to C#, you can use it in your MAUI project.

    I find a video about Binding Native Libraries for .NET MAUI - Events | Microsoft Learn, you can refer to it.

    Best Regards,
