Is is possible to integrate with the RFID readers with the EMDK? When I run the BarcodeSample1 on a MC3300R the barcode scanner works, but there is no option to select the RFID reader. Similarly, when I run BarcodeSample1 on a TC52X paired with a RFD8500 the barcode scanner works, but there is no way to access the paired RFID scanner.
If it is not possible with the EMDK, what options are there for integrating with the RFID readers?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can checkout the available RFID SDK for Xamarin:
https://techdocs.zebra.com/dcs/rfid/xamarin/2-0-2-94/guide/about/
Also, here's a sample application about the integration and communication with a reader:

Hope that helps,
Daniel

Daniel is partly correct:
https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/rfid/rfid-handhelds/mc3300xr.html
Is the support portal for MC33x0XR RFID Platforms.
The Developer details is further down in this Support Portal page.
The MC33 - like the RFD40 STD Sled with a Zebra Android Device connected in the Sled Carrie via eConnex - uses Datawedge for the Barcode system. ( The trigger to make the barcode scanner turn on - is the "Terminal Scanner" menu choice - when setting the upper or lower trigger.
RFD devices - triggers default to "Sled Trigger" for the RFD40 and RFD90 sleds by default.
Quick Point: EMDK for Barcode - is actually suggested to "Not Use This" but to use Datawedge instead.
Similarly - the EMDK support for RFID - is no longer supported (like it was for Little Windows Symbol RFID platforms.)
But the respective RFID SDK for a given Development Environment is found in the MC33 RFID Support portal.
Also if you want to understand the Mobile RFID - on iOS or on Android - the 123RFID Mobile app is very good.
This app is for Android - an Android Studio - developed app.
If you use the RFD40 Premium Plus, or RFD90, or RFD8500 mobile sleds with Integrated Barcode Scanner on a "NON-Zebra Android" platform (like Google Pixel "google reference platform") or on iOS - the 123RFID Mobile app uses the Scanner Framework SDK to access the Barcode scanner..
