Initializing the iOS Data Capture SDK

Free Developer Support

We provide free "no-strings-attached" developer support for the implementation and testing of the Scanbot SDK. If you encounter technical issues with integrating the Scanbot SDK or need advice on choosing the appropriate framework or features, please visit our support page.

The Scanbot Data Capture SDK must be initialized before usage.

To activate the license in the code, use the Scanbot.setLicense(_:) method of the Scanbot class. Execute this code as early as possible during your app's runtime, but at least before using any Scanbot SDK functionality, e.g. in your application class (AppDelegate).

If your license has expired, any invocation of the SDK's API will not work. You can check for license expiration during runtime by using the Scanbot.isLicenseValid property.

Example code for setting the license key string:

func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {

    Scanbot.setLicense(
      "hiasVhl+q8EgpnDaCEjzDPgp6ex91j" +
      "y6nLK60knb5DGnaMbxnx3pO7jrML5H" +
      "5E6t1XGJ6tFsQm9mm+hSfVnetqEhe4" +
      "VNfXzi/lFYpWT8ICQ1c7YbZbAeyPXc" +
      "D/IcDaRz1vxS85aOL0tbYXynBzvkSx" +
      "mMyFDaL/obrke4h+sonCbLauUA7yXX" +

      "GBvOsg+h8JfieM/oFzCUZrSazOEusU" +
      "EyOewKLDiOdNqgJpAGK1hF1nQwhcr7" +

      "EIjEhdprY62qD2pip2MbBHgKYL69DQ" +
      "bFAgyNfSWNtg==\nU2NhbmJvdFNESw" +
      "ppby5zY2FuYm90LmV4YW1wbGUuc2Rr" +
      "LmRlbW8KMTU0NjM4NzE5OQo1MTIKMQ" +
      "==\n")
}
