To use MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE in a .NET MAUI application, you need to ensure that your project includes the necessary dependencies. Here's a detailed overview of what you need:
1. MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE: This package itself is the primary dependency for accessing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality in your application. You can install it using NuGet by running the command `Install-Package MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE` or `dotnet add package MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE`.
2. Plugin.BLE: MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE depends on Plugin.BLE, which is a cross-platform BLE plugin. Ensure that you have at least version 2.2.0-pre5 of Plugin.BLE installed in your project. You can install it using `Install-Package Plugin.BLE` or `dotnet add package Plugin.BLE`.
3. MvvmCross: Since MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE is part of the MvvmCross framework, you also need to have MvvmCross installed in your project. The minimum required version is 6.0.0. You can install it using `Install-Package MvvmCross` or `dotnet add package MvvmCross`.
4. .NET Standard 2.0: MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE is compatible with .NET Standard 2.0, which is supported by .NET MAUI. This compatibility ensures that the plugin works seamlessly across different platforms.
5. Platform-Specific Requirements: While MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE provides cross-platform functionality, you should ensure that your project targets the correct platforms (e.g., Android, iOS, macOS) and that the necessary platform-specific configurations are in place.
In summary, to use MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE in a .NET MAUI project, you need to install MvvmCross.Plugin.BLE, Plugin.BLE, and MvvmCross, ensuring that you meet the minimum version requirements for each package[1][2][7].
