This is my First Question Here if you have any tips about how to improve it please let me know,

I'm using the Bass.net library in a .net maui project and I downloaded the DLL file From Here:https://www.un4seen.com/
The problem is The DLL file is required to be put in the executable directory,
Here is where I put the DLL file:\Debug\net7.0-android
but still get "System.DllNotFoundException: 'bass'"
Is there another directory where I could put the DLL or this doesn't work on .net maui?
TYSM in advance.

Which dll that you download? I download Bass.Net dll and add it to MAUI project (right click the project, add referencend select "Add Reference." Click on the "Browse" button and navigate to the location of the DLL file. Select the DLL file and click "Add."), No errors appear.

Mr.Leon thank you so much for taking the time to read my question,
The bass DLL file needs to be placed in the executable directory,
I have no problem with The way you mentioned I even downloaded it from nuget,
my problem is where I can put the DLL file so the app can recognize it ( same directory as the apk file),
much thanks in advance.

Which platform do you want to put the dll to the executable directly? You can try to get the executable directory like following code.

var execDirectoryPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)?.Replace("file:\\", "");
