Is it possible to connect my smart watch to my .NET MAUI application and read its data?

.Net MAUI app using Plugin.BLE for Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor. Bluetooth LE working solution on Android. I must ask James Montemagno for help to get permissions right on iOS and Windows.
To read code and understand it is simple.
This app might bring closer Bluetooth LE to .Net MAUI. I hope so.
thanks for this information, I thought the plugin only worked on Xamarin, so I didn't bother testing it.
.Net MAUI is coming! I have not much experience of Xamarin.
In MauiXAMLBluetoothLE Plugin.BLE is working nicely on Android emulator API 31, 32, 33 from Visual Studio 2022 Preview and on smartphone Samsung S22.
I have not bought iPhone yet and will test iOS later. Windows is not working because of Plugin.BLE.

@Mielesplaz - Not sure how usable the Bluetooth library is at the moment, but I suggest exploring any MAUI API dev for Bluetooth here and here.
I can also see links at the second site for samples but unsure if they meet your requirements. Just helping you with info to navigate in the right direction as Bluetooth API do not appear as a focus in .net6 or .net7 (where MAUI is).
Thanks for your help!
I hope there will ever come Bluetooth support for .NET MAUI.
Shiny is not mature enough to be used in my opinion. And it holds too much code. It tries to cover everything between earth and heaven. And I need only reach to top of the tree.
