Hi all,

I've been looking at the ANT+ SDKs for Windows development, and wondering what the suggest path forward is for a UWP Desktop app built with Xamarin.

The beta UWP SDK seems to depend on an unsigned driver, so that's not really a viable option for end users.

The traditional Windows SDK seems to target .Net Framework, rather than .Net Core, so is not UWP compatible.

What is the recommended route to take with a desktop UWP app?

Thanks a lot!

ANT+ and BLE support for desktop applications is limited. There are solutions available from specialized companies like Zwift. Dave Lusty from Microsoft UK developed a demo to stream sensor data from a Garmin watch to a Microsoft event hub and from there to Microsoft Power BI:

Another option is to stream sensor data to an MQQT brocker and from there to desktop applications. This option is is available for Rasperri PI or for the Linux Pinephone:

For Bluetooth low energy sensors, there is now also Matlab support:
