Permissions
Add camera permission
The Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK needs access to the device camera, so it can scan from a live camera stream. Therefore, the camera permission must be defined.
- Android
- iOS
Required permissions for Android
Make sure to add the Camera permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file:
<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).
Required permissions for iOS
Add the following properties to your Info.plist file:
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Please provide camera access to Scanbot SDK.</string>
