MAUI android, how to reference a .JAR library

Question

We are creating application for android device that works as handy terminal (with barcode reader, RFID reader, LED, 10-key keyboard). The device's maker provide a SDK in the JAR format, to be used with Android Studio for example. I have read this link, but this not applies to JAR files. How I can reference an JAR library in MAUI project? Thank for your time, Antonio

Thank you @Koji, I had already checked some issues (1340,1475,8634).

The correct template is .NET MAUI class library (must be); but the 'Build Action' must be configured inside the project file ".csproj". Although the "Build Action=none" in properties window, inside the project file I added the following lines

<ItemGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('-android'))">
    <EmbeddedJar Include="classes.jar" />
</ItemGroup>

After build the project, a sketch class ("PlatformClass1") is created automatically for each platform. After that, it is now possible to create objects with the contents of the 'jar' library.
