Would be really nice with Windows support.

What platform would you target in particular? net8.0-windows (or net9.0-windows) with <UseWPF>true</UseWPF>?

Hi, thanks for the reply @thomasgalliker. Target would be net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0 I think, Surface tablet or PC with connected camera.

Do you have any experience with the camera API of Windows? Do they also provide native barcode detection? I have never used such an API on Windows.

Not the original reporter, but want to mention that windows support barcode recognition via the Windows.Devices.PointOfService this worked on UWP and also works on WinUI. Currently in the process of updating to WinUI and used this project to fix my android camera scanning implementation. I was able to blend this project with the maui community toolkit camera preview to support barcode scanning on all 3 platforms.

One frustrating thing is the windows doesn't return position information on the barcode scanner but it does work.
