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

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).

iOS

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>
