  • 🐞 Bug fixes:
    • Both iOS and Android:
      • InitialScanDelay only used some portions of the TimeSpan object (seconds for iOS, milliseconds for Android). Now the full total is used.
      • AutoCancelTimeout removed from BatchBarcodeScannerConfiguration as it is only currently supported for the regular barcode scanner via BarcodeScannerConfiguration.
    • Android:
      • Before, for certain invalid decodings of QR and MicroQR codes, an exception was thrown from ZXing. Now we rigorously treat this as a format error.
      • Before, we returned BarcodeFormat.Code25 results when BarcodeFormat.Industrial2Of5 was enabled and BarcodeFormat.Code25 was disabled. Now, we do not return the BarcodeFormat.Code25 result for such decoding options.

    • iOS:
      • Fixed a crash when denying camera permission.
      • Fixed issue with ScanbotBarcodeSDK.BarcodeService.OpenBarcodeScannerView in which the default title of the confirm button was set to the default title of the retry button.
      • AutoCancelTimeout is now applied correctly when using ScanbotBarcodeSDK.BarcodeService.OpenBarcodeScannerView.
  • ⚠️ Breaking changes:
    • All types under the BarcodeSDK namespace have been moved to the ScanbotSDK namespace.
  • 🚙 Under the hood:
