Xamarin Forms and MDash videos - xamarin.forms

I'm looking for playing a content from Azure Media Services in my Xamarin Forms apps for iOS, Android and UWP.
A url is in MDash for example is https://azneccmediaq001-euno.streaming.media.azure.net/xxc0cf6a-55e4-4c35-975a-e047b8002xxx/PREVTrailer_2.0EN.ism/manifest
Is there a way to play this kind of video without using a webview?
Thank you in advance

How to implement Login with Google through Firebase within a .NET MAUI application

I am developing a .NET MAUI app for use on iOS, Android, and Windows devices.
In general, I have found that the documentation on Firebase to be lacking when integrating within any .NET application. In particular, given the quick rise of .NET Maui's popularity, I don't see any advice with regard to allowing my MAUI app to add Firebase authentication via Login with Google or Facebook. Maybe the documentation hasn't caught up yet?
Here is a screenshot the the project settings in my Firebase project.
Do I need to configure an Android app and then an iOS here for Google login?
If there is anyone who has accomplished this for .NET MAUI and could provide some guidance, I'd be all ears.
I am currently following a Xamarin tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYMCrD9klA0

Is it possible to add a photo in a Xamarin Forms cross platform application using only C#?

Payments using Stripe on Xamarin Forms

I am stuck... I was under the impression using Stripe in a Xamarin Forms application was easy, but that doesn't seem to be the case any more.
I have a Xamarin Forms (both Android and iOS) app that I want to integrate with Stripe for payments. I have an API which creates a Payment intent, submits the amount and currency etc using the Stripe.net NuGet extension, and returns a client secret... but it turns out, there is no Stripe client available to use this client secret.
There are Android and iOS native elements controls which I should be able to somehow include in my Xamarin Forms application or the use of a webview and using stripe.js.
Can anyone tell me which of these two options is most suitable? I have never used binding for including Android and iOS packages (I'm not clued up on the individual platforms) and the webview seems to me to be a poor UX... I'm only speculating, because I don't know... I'm hoping there is someone on here who has experience with Xamarin FOrms and Stripe who can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

You can enable Application App bundles (.aab). It will reduce your application size even more once deployed through the Google Play store.
To enable it, look in your *.Droid.csproj properties
This xamarin blog post is a good reference.

Instant messaging system in Web App and Mobile Native App

I am searching for some messaging systems or frameworks which are readily to be integrated into .NET web application, which is similar to that found in Facebook and Google, but without voice and video call. Also it can support Mobile Native App. Are there any options for this system?
Any answer would be highly appreciated.
