MAUI Dotnet Geozones integration

Learn how to integrate geozones functionality into your MAUI .NET application

Integrating the Geozones functionality into your MAUI .NET application is straightforward with Pushwoosh. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Add the Pushwoosh.DotNet.Geozones NuGet Package to your solution

1. Android integration

In your Android project, locate the MainActivity.cs file and call LocationManager.Init()in OnCreate()method:

using PushwooshSDK.DotNet.Geozones.Android;

...

[Activity(Theme = "@style/Maui.SplashTheme", MainLauncher = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation | ConfigChanges.UiMode | ConfigChanges.ScreenLayout | ConfigChanges.SmallestScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Density)]
public class MainActivity : MauiAppCompatActivity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
        PushManager.Init();
        LocationManager.Init();
    }
}

1. iOS integration

For your iOS project, open the AppDelegate.cs file and call LocationManager.Init() in FinishedLaunching()method:

using Pushwoosh.iOS;
using PushwooshSDK.DotNet.Geozones.iOS;
using UIKit;

...

[Register("AppDelegate")]
public class AppDelegate : MauiUIApplicationDelegate
{
    public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication application, NSDictionary launchOptions)
    {
        PushManager.Init();
        LocationManager.Init();
        return base.FinishedLaunching(application, launchOptions);
    }

    protected override MauiApp CreateMauiApp() => MauiProgram.CreateMauiApp();
}

1. Add location permissions based on your app's requirements.

Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description permission should always be added.

5. Then start location tracking by calling the StartLocationTracking()method.

using PushwooshSDK.DotNet.Geozones;


...

LocationManager.Instance.StartLocationTracking();

Remember to test your implementation on both Android and iOS platforms to ensure everything is working as expected.
