  2. Search for Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit and install the latest version.
  3. Ensure all necessary dependencies are installed correctly and the project is restored.

Step 3: Register the handler

In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for the Syncfusion® Toolkit.

using Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit.Hosting;

public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .ConfigureSyncfusionToolkit()
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
            });

        return builder.Build();
    }
}

Step 4: Add a basic OTP Input

  1. To initialize the control, import the Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit.OtpInput namespace.

  2. Initialize SfOtpInput.

<otpInput:SfOtpInput />
SfOtpInput otpInput = new SfOtpInput();

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following are set up:

  1. Install .NET 8 SDK or later.

Step 1: Create a new .NET MAUI project

  1. Open the command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and type .NET:New Project and enter.
  2. Choose the .NET MAUI App template.
  3. Select the project location, type the project name and press Enter.
  4. Then choose Create project.

Step 2: Install the Syncfusion® MAUI Toolkit package

  1. Press Ctrl + ` (backtick) to open the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code.
  2. Ensure you’re in the project root directory where your .csproj file is located.
  3. Run the command dotnet add package Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit to install the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Toolkit NuGet package.
  4. To ensure all dependencies are installed, run dotnet restore.

Step 3: Register the handler

In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for Syncfusion® Toolkit.

    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .ConfigureSyncfusionToolkit()
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
