We have an offsite developer writing a .NET MAUI app in C#. Their application runs well in the standard Android emulator, but they are struggling with a lot of bugs due to needing to integrate it with the hardware of our MC93s. Technical limitations prevent them from running a physical device offsite so they cannot test on a physical device. I was wondering if anyone had an emulator for the MC93s. If not, do you have any tricks of the trade for writing software to use the Zebra specific software like Datawedge? Is datawedge the only way to access the barcode scanner?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Benjamin,
Unfortunately we don't provide any custom emulators for our devices, that's manly because of the SDKs and components relying on our HW.
The only thing which could be emulated in some way is how your application would receive the intents from the DataWedge Application. So, instead of DW sending the intents it would be the developer sending them towards the application through ADB.
There's a handy blog post explaining more how this can be done:

Hope that helps a little bit!
