Suggestion - Binding native libraries

[nacompllo]

I want to make a suggestion / discussion on whether it makes sense for you guys to raise the possibility of making a native binding of Snowplow native libraries for Xamarin / .NET Maui:

Android: https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow-android-tracker

iOS: https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow-ios-tracker

If we assume that the native versions have an active maintenance support and the .NET version has a slower maintenance and the SDK has fewer features than their native counterparts, it may be interesting to consider the option of bind the native libraries which would cause that the 3 platforms (ios, android, xamarin) would always be leveled at the API level since it would only be necessary to update the native binaries in the .NET SDK and adapt the abstraction layer to the changes. Does it sound interesting for you to consider this option?
