Permissions
Add camera permission
The Scanbot SDK needs access to the device camera, so it can scan from a live camera stream. Therefore, the camera permission must be defined.
Android
For Android, we need to add the camera permissions in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
Note how we also added the uses-feature tag for better recognition of your app on the Google Play Store (see more).
Our Ready-to-Use UI Components handle the runtime permissions automatically, so there is no need to add anything else in the code.
iOS
For iOS, we need to include a description for the camera permission in ios/App/App/Info.plist anywhere inside the <dict> element:
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Describe why your app wants to access the device's camera.</string>
