iOS​

  • 🎉 New:
  • 🚀 Improvements:
    • IMPORTANT: Changed the default rear cameras on all scanners to the triple or dual camera. On some devices with triple camera this results in a different view port (more zoomed in). Please make sure to adapt your zoom ranges and factors.

    • Changed privacy manifest to comply with the latest Apple specs.
    • Fixes a bug with the asynchronous functions of SBSDKPDFPagesExtractor which returned an empty array of image URLs.
    • Fixes a problem that slowed down still image capturing on some older iOS devices.
    • Fixed a critical bug in the camera session causing still images to be captured at a lower than expected resolution.
  • ⚠️ Breaking Changes:
  • 🚙 Under the hood:
    • Updated the native SDK to iOS Barcode SDK 5.1.0

Using the default option GS1Handling.Parse will give the same result as before for all barcode types, except for BarcodeFormat.RssExpanded. Previously, for RssExpanded, the result was inconsistently returned with parentheses. Now, to get results with parentheses for all barcode types, choose the option GS1Handling.Decode.
    • iOS:
      • The method DidDetect in the BarcodeResultReceiver class has been renamed to DidDetectResults, and its signature now matches the updated method signature in the SBSDKUIBarcodeScannerViewControllerDelegate interface.

      • Added property Extension to SBSDKBarcodeScannerResult.
      • Added TrackingOverlayController property to SBSDKBarcodeScannerViewController.
      • Introduced new classes and protocols to manage barcode tracking overlay:

        • SBSDKBarcodeTrackingOverlayConfiguration: Represents the configuration options for a SBSDKBarcodeTrackingOverlayController.
        • SBSDKBarcodeTrackedViewTextStyle: Represents the style and kind of text rendered below a barcode.

      • 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 have returned CODE_25 results when INDUSTRIAL_2_OF_5 was enabled and CODE_25 was disabled. Now, we do not return the CODE_25 result for such decoding options.
    • iOS:
      • Fixed a focusing issue with the new iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.
      • Fixed a crash when denying camera permission.
