8.6.0-beta.1​

Released: August 14, 2026

New Features​

Barcode​

  • BarcodeArResponsiveAnnotation now takes a map of distance thresholds to annotations, so a barcode can show a different annotation at any number of distances instead of only close-up and far-away. The previous two-state API is deprecated, see Deprecations below.
  • Added the zoomControlOrientation property to BarcodeArView.
  • Added the BarcodeArCircleHighlight.isPulsing property to toggle the highlight's pulsing animation.
  • Extended BarcodeBatch on Android so that setting the overlay brush to null clears the highlights of tracked barcodes, matching iOS.
  • Added decoding of the DotCode Code Set B first-position "Macro" codewords (97-100), which expand to the corresponding ISO/IEC 15434 format envelopes. Previously these symbols decoded to incorrect data.
  • Added Extended Channel Interpretation (ECI) support for DotCode. Symbols that switch character sets (for example to Cyrillic or another code page) now report the correct per-segment encoding. As part of this, the default character set for DotCode is now reported as ISO 8859-1 instead of ASCII.
  • Added structured append support for DotCode. The "m of n" sequencing metadata is now stripped from the barcode data and exposed via sc_barcode_get_segment_index and sc_barcode_get_segment_count. DotCode has no file ID, so segments are not automatically grouped by the buffered barcode session.

Id​

  • ICAO Machine Readable Visas now return passport number, visa number as well as number of stays and durations from the MRZ of supported documents.
  • Added IdCaptureSettings.notifyOnSideCapture, which fires the capture callback after each side of a multi-sided document, and CapturedId.isCapturingComplete, which distinguishes a partial (single-side) result from a complete one.
  • Added MobileDocumentDataElement::SignatureUsualMark and MobileDocumentResult.signature to allow capture of signature images from ISO mDL documents.
  • Extended the VizDocumentScanner sanitizer restriction to run all sanitizers for front-and-back captures and only reject on front-only captures, so front-side VIZ field corrections are no longer lost in double-sided captures.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Added the CameraSwitchControl API. The control can be added to a DataCaptureView to let end users switch between a primary and a secondary camera (for example, back and front), with customizable button images and accessibility labels.
  • Added support for label definitions that use the "semantics" feature on fields of both type "barcode" and "text" simultaneously; previously only one of the two types could use it at once.

Core​

  • Added support in the GS1 parser for the telecom Application Identifiers 8040 (IMEI), 8041 (IMEI2), 8042 (eSIM/EID), and 8043 (pSIM), so GS1 codes carrying them parse instead of being rejected as unrecognized.
  • Added support for parsing the 2D-DOC (French 2D-Doc / ANTS) data format.
  • Added more detailed error reporting when required resources are missing.
  • Added iOS support for multiple DataCaptureView instances to render the camera preview simultaneously, so navigating between screens that each show a DataCaptureView no longer causes black or frozen previews, including during interactive edge-swipe transitions. DataCaptureView also now renders a preview when the frame source is an ImageFrameSource or SequenceFrameSource.
  • Added LicenseInfo.allowedModes, exposing the set of capture modes a license key permits via the new CaptureMode enum.
  • Added support for reading camera frames directly into a SharedArrayBuffer in supported environments (currently Chrome or Firefox, when pthread is enabled), avoiding an extra copy.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Reduced the false positive rate for EAN13, UPCA, EAN8, and UPC-E.
  • Improved ITF decoding robustness, reducing the number of unscanned codes.
  • Improved MicroQR decoding for rotated codes and cluttered backgrounds.

Id​

  • Improved PDF417 scanning on Quebec, Alaska, and Oklahoma driver’s licenses.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Changed the default highlight brush in SparkScan and Barcode Capture.
  • Updated recommended camera settings for MatrixScan Batch, Find, Pick, Sequence, and AR, now using UHD4K resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
  • MatrixScan Count uses a new default colour for scanned (counted) barcodes, chosen to meet accessibility contrast requirements. It applies to single scanned barcodes, to the barcodes inside a cluster, and to the cluster highlight itself. To keep your previous appearance, set the colour through the existing icon customization.
  • Enabled detection and decoding of mirrored MaxiCodes by default. Previously this required enabling the symbology extension mirrored, which has been removed.
  • Limited the GS1 format flag for DotCode to genuine GS1 openings (a leading digit pair without FNC1) per AIM DotCode v3.0, instead of defaulting all symbols to GS1.
  • Disabled enhanced low-resolution scanning of QR codes (introduced in 8.5.0) for MatrixScan modes. Customers who need this feature should contact Scandit support.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed a crash when clearing highlights or changing the scanning state on a MatrixScan Count mode that had been removed from its data capture context.
  • Fixed a bug with the highlight colors of BarcodeCount clusters.
  • Fixed the MatrixScan Count not-in-list accept/reject popover not reflecting a custom accepted/rejected ScanditIcon when configured.
  • Fixed BarcodeArPopoverAnnotation.isEntirePopoverTappable not applying changes, and popover tap callbacks being lost after annotation updates on iOS.
  • Fixed a visual artifact that could appear around the scan preview indicators in MatrixScan Count when using Scan Preview.
  • Fixed MatrixScan AR to adapt to the device UI scale.
  • Fixed rare cases where DotCode Code Set C symbols using the date/lot macro decoded to incorrect data due to a dropped leading zero in a digit pair.
  • Fixed a regression where short ITF codes with low wide/narrow ratio were not decoded.

Id​

  • Fixed a crash that could occur when navigating away from a screen while a hint was displayed.
  • Improved the DLID parser, fixing previously unparsable codes found in analytics.
  • Hardened dependency resolution for Android native samples.
  • Resolved a duplicate Objective-C class registration that could trigger spurious casting failures or crashes when an app links both ScanditCaptureCore and ScanditIdCapture.
  • Fixed an issue where the VLM scanning screen remained permanently displayed if IdCaptureSettings were applied mid-scan.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Fixed a bug where the receipt scanning overlay and validation flow overlay could not be used on the same mode instance.
  • Fixed prebuilt date fields to recognize Spanish month abbreviations. The abbreviations ene, abr, ago, and dic are newly supported; the remaining Spanish abbreviations already resolved because they match their English form. The expiry-date anchor additionally recognizes common Spanish expiry terms such as caducidad, vencimiento, consumir antes, and consumo preferente.

Core​

  • Fixed a SequenceFrameSource occasionally delivering the same frame to its listeners twice.
  • Fixed Nokia G11 and Nokia 8.3 5G devices not correctly getting the Camera2 path when API2-only features were requested.
  • Fixed the Galaxy Note10 camera profile selection so the international Note10 family (SM-N970x/SM-N971x) gets its intended fixed-focus and Camera2 behaviors.
  • Fixed the Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965x) camera profile selection so Camera2-based capture is enabled on those devices as intended.
  • Fixed the camera preview appearing darker in single-scan modes after using a mode that applies its own exposure adjustment, such as SparkScan or MatrixScan Count.
  • Fixed a race condition in SimplePropertyBehaviorSubject where mutating the subscriber list during a callback could cause crashes or missed notifications.
  • Fixed an IllegalStateException in analytics HTTPS requests when the app is instrumented by APM tools such as Dynatrace.
  • Fixed EventsResponse::getRetryTimeoutInSeconds to return a fallback instead of aborting on out-of-range header values.
  • Fixed an issue in MatrixScanARSimpleSample where status icons could occasionally appear blank and unresponsive.

Deprecations​

Barcode​

  • Deprecated the two-state BarcodeArResponsiveAnnotation API in favor of a new configurable annotationsByThreshold map that supports more than two distance states; the previous two-state API remains available.
  • Deprecated the SparkScan target-mode APIs and ScanIntention.SmartSelection in favor of the new SelectionMode API: set selectionMode (off/on/auto) on BarcodeCaptureSettings and SparkScanSettings to control whether an aimed-at barcode is scanned automatically or requires explicit selection.

8.5.3​

Released: August 18, 2026

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Disabled enhanced low-resolution scanning of QR codes (introduced in 8.5.0) for MatrixScan modes. Customers who need this feature should contact Scandit support.

Bug Fixes​

Id​

  • Improved performance of Irish Garda Age Card

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed BarcodeCount clusters where the not-in-list cluster color incorrectly followed the matched/deviated customization.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Fixed a memory leak preventing the batch and label advanced overlay from being collected until the mode they're bound to is collectable.

8.5.1​

Released: July 20, 2026

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed BarcodeCapture and SparkScan not applying a selectionMode change from On to Auto, which left the aimer visible.

Id​

  • Fixed an incorrect license key check that prevented scanning of documents with a PDF417 barcode or MRZ on one side, and of mDLs read via OCR.

8.5.0​

Released: July 9, 2026

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Added the SelectionMode API to replace the SparkScan target-mode APIs and ScanIntention.smartSelection: Set selectionMode (off/on/auto) in the BarcodeCaptureSettings and SparkScanSettings to control whether an aimed-at barcode is scanned automatically or requires explicit selection.

Id​

  • Added Irish Garda Age Card as RegionSpecificSubtype.IrelandAgeCard.
  • Added double-sided support for the Oman residence card.
  • Added single-sided support for extraction of issue date and birth date from the 2025 NYC Municipal ID.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Extended VIN label capture to also scan Code 128 barcodes (in addition to QR, Code 39, and Data Matrix) via createVinLabelDefinition().
  • Extended LabelCapture to accept label definitions where both "barcode" and "text" field types use the "semantics" feature simultaneously; previously this was restricted to only one field type at a time.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Enhanced detection of low-resolution QR codes, improving scan rates for QR codes with degraded print quality or unfavorable capture conditions. This improvement applies to QR codes of versions 1, 2, and 3 (21×21, 25×25, and 29×29 modules).
    • codes is now enabled by default, improving scan rates for challenging QR codes with degraded print quality or unfavorable capture conditions. This improvement applies to QR codes of versions 1, 2, and 3 (21×21, 25×25, and 29×29 modules).
  • Improved scanning of micro-QR codes affected by quiet zone violations and perspective distortion.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Improved Receipt Scanning efficiency by optimizing receipt image processing before extraction.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Reduced Code 128 minimum symbol count from 6 to 4; short codes (4 & 5 symbols) use stricter matching rules than longer codes. To explicitly exclude short codes, disable symbol counts 4 & 5 via sc_symbology_settings_set_active_symbol_counts() for Code 128. Note that if you previously enabled short code scanning, more strict settings are now in effect to reduce the chance of false positives, which are more likely for very short codes.
  • Tightened Code 39 false positive filter thresholds by default; to restore the previous behavior, enable the relaxed extension on Code 39 via sc_symbology_settings_set_extension_enabled(). This is only advised when external validation measures are available, for example, scanning against a known list of valid codes or when codes contain structured data.
  • Updated SymbologyDescription.forIdentifier to return null for unrecognized identifiers (for example, "EAN-8" instead of "ean8"); previously such input was silently mapped to Codabar.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed BarcodeAR not displaying an overlay for every scanned barcode when duplicate barcode values are present.
  • Fixed a memory leak in item-based scanning.
  • Fixed an issue in BarcodeCount where the strap mode setting would not be saved in all cases.

  • Corrected the orientation of cropped Visa document images that were being rotated incorrectly when scanned using a single-frame image source.
  • Fixed parser handling of non-standard Surrey BC AAMVA barcodes that were incorrectly returning "Invalid Format."
  • Resolved a duplicate Objective-C class registration that could trigger spurious casting failures or crashes when an app links both ScanditCaptureCore and ScanditIdCapture.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Fixed a memory leak in LabelCapture.
  • Fixed a bug where setting valueRegexes or anchorRegexes to null in frameworks was incorrectly treated the same as setting them to an empty list; they now correctly fall back to the definition type's defaults.

Core​

  • Fixed SPM resolution failure in Capacitor 8 / Xcode 26 projects (CapApp-SPM) caused by an invalid Package.swift header and an outdated capacitor-swift-pm version pin.
  • Fixed a rare crash when starting camera capture while under memory pressure.
  • Fixed a rare crash when opening the camera.

Core​

  • Redesigned ZoomSwitchControl to support multiple configurable zoom levels; the control now displays as a compact button that expands to show all available zoom levels, automatically filtered to those supported by the device hardware.
  • Added a new PinchToZoom gesture.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Improved Code 128 scan robustness for codes with uneven blur and geometric distortions. Available on all platforms except WebAssembly without SIMD and ARM without FP16.
  • Improved 1D barcode scanning speed and reduced false positives for linear symbologies.
  • Further improved scanning of square DataMatrix codes with damaged or occluded timing patterns.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Intention now continuously adapts between Single Scan and Selection modes during a scanning session when Smart Scan Selection is enabled, switching back to Single Scan when the scene no longer requires Selection mode. Previously, once Selection mode was activated it remained active for the rest of the session.
  • Changed ITF scanning to reduce false positives by introducing checksum-dependent scoring. ITF has an optional checksum which is mandated to be enabled by many of the standards that use ITF as the data carrier. Starting with this release, checksum-passing ITF codes are scanned with more relaxed conditions than codes that don't pass the checksum test. This happens even if the optional mod 10 checksum isn't enabled. To disable this behavior, enable the no_checksum_dependent_validation symbology extension for the ITF symbology.
  • Removed the Abseil library dependency.
  • Reduced Code 39 false positives.

Core​

  • Fixed PDF417 macro block file ID decoding to correctly handle numeric formatting according to the ISO/IEC 15438:2015 specification.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when scanning barcodes with the k-out-of-n filter enabled, if some detected barcodes were not subject to filtering.
  • Fixed an issue where the Smart Scan Selection aimer would become too small when scan-area margins restricted the visible scan area; the aimer is now sized relative to the view, keeping a consistent on-screen size regardless of margins.
  • Fixed an issue in BarcodeCount where the strap mode setting would not be saved in all cases.

Id​

8.1.0​

Released: December 17, 2025

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Selection is now available in Barcode Capture. Scanning a single barcode is often difficult in environments where multiple barcodes are placed closely together, like on a densely packed warehouse shelf or on a package with various labels. This can lead to scanning the wrong item, causing errors and slowing down operations. Smart Scan Selection solves this problem by automatically detecting when a user is trying to scan in a "dense barcode" environment. The interface then intelligently adapts, providing an aimer to help the user precisely select the desired barcode without needing to manually change any settings. This creates a more intuitive scanning experience that requires no manual configuration.
  • SparkScan is not limited to only barcodes anymore, but can also scan items - in other words any combinations of barcodes and text present on a target to be scanned. The feature is available in beta at the moment, please contact Scandit Support if you are interested in trying it out.
  • Extended Aztec codes reader to support scanning mirrored codes.
  • Added support for square DataMatrix codes with one-sided damage or occlusion. This feature is only enabled in Barcode Capture and SparkScan.

Id​

  • Added NationalityISO property that maps results from Nationality field to country ISO code
  • Added RejectionDiagnosticJSON property to CapturedId to report debug info during Timeout rejections
  • Added support for new California DL, new South Carolina DL, Arizona Medical Marijuana Card, Kuwait Civil card, and new Texas DL
  • Our SDK can now scan the following documents both in single-side and double-side mode:
    • All Mexican DLs
    • Mexican Voter Cards

Core​

  • Added webViewContentOnTop to DataCaptureView so hybrid apps can place HTML overlays above the camera preview without sacrificing native gestures. Default behaviour stays unchanged; when you enable the property, the bridge now mirrors Android and iOS touch routing—JS UI elements receive taps first, and any unhandled touch paths through to the native DataCaptureView. Improved resilience: both platforms fall back automatically if the WebView can't evaluate the hit-test logic, preventing stalled gestures even under heavy load.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Improved MicroQR detector tolerance to quiet zone violations
  • Improved suppression of incorrect Codabar recognitions when using the “strict" symbology extension

Smart Label Capture​

  • Incremental improvements in accuracy across all use-cases for the OCR model powering Smart Label Capture.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

Smart Label Capture​

8.0.0​

Released: November 4, 2025

New Features​

Scandit's SDK 8.0 marks the evolution of data capture from a high-performing scanning tool into an intelligent AI-powered workflow enabler. As frontline operations face mounting pressures with more data points to capture, increasingly complex workflows to navigate, and tighter resource constraints, SDK 8.0 delivers a set of innovations that:

  • Adapt its scanning settings and UI to context by analyzing the scanning environment and user intent;
  • Automate the capture of any data format, barcode clustering, task handling or camera settings;
  • Accelerate critical use cases to maximize ROI through intuitive, streamlined scanning workflows, using interactive AR-guidance, adaptive UI and out-of-the-box custom-branded passenger experiences.

With SDK 8.0 businesses can transform data capture from a basic function to a strategic advantage. It enables intelligent scanning that:

  • Understands not just what is being scanned, but also what you want to scan and why you’re scanning it
  • Adapts accordingly by adjusting scanning settings and/or UI, understanding what comes next and how to guide users through sophisticated tasks to ensure the highest level of productivity.

Core​

  • The Capacitor Kotlin plugin version used is now 1.9.25, enabling support for projects using Capacitor 7.

Barcode​

  • Updated the Gradle version for all sample applications to 8.14.3.
  • BarcodeBatchBasicOverlay and BarcodeBatchBasicOverlayListener now allow for nullable brushes.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Smart Label Capture is now available for Capacitor. It enables the capture of any label, regardless of its layout or format, and extracts the relevant information automatically. This is achieved through a combination of AI-based text recognition and barcode scanning, allowing users to capture all necessary data in a single scan. Smart Label Capture is ideal for applications such as inventory management, asset tracking, and logistics, where labels can vary widely in design and content.
  • We’re introducing an enhancement that makes Smart Label Capture more robust and scalable by complementing its on-device model with a larger, more capable model. When the on-device model can’t capture certain labels, the SDK automatically escalates to this enhancement to handle complex or unforeseen cases with high accuracy and reliability. This capability is currently available in beta. If you’re interested in trying it, please contact Scandit Support. For configuration details, see labelDefinition.adaptiveRecognitionEngine.

ID​

  • Added ElementsToRetain to MobileDocumentScanner: The set of data elements that the application intends to retain from scanned mobile documents. This information is used to set the IntentToRetain flag in ISO 18013-5 mdoc requests, which is required for legal compliance with data protection standards. An empty set indicates no elements will be retained, and IntentToRetain will be set to false for all fields.
  • ID Capture now supports full-frame anonymization.
  • The result of decodeMobileDriverLicenseViz, which is currently returned as part of the VizResult within CapturedId, will now be provided through a new field named mobileDocumentOcr.
  • Added CapturedId::isCitizenPassport, which indicates whether the passport was issued to a citizen of the issuing country. Returns false for travel documents such as refugee, stateless, or alien passports, and for any passports issued by organizations rather than states.
  • The following Chinese travel permits now extract VIZ + MIZ data during double-sided scanning flows:
    • CT - Taiwan Residents Mainland Travel Permit
    • W - Mainland Residents Exit-Entry Permit to and from Hong Kong and Macao
    • CD - Mainland Residents Entry-Exit Permit to and from Taiwan

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Symbology RM4SCC has been renamed to ROYAL_MAIL_4STATE.
  • Changed the default highlight brush in SparkScan and Barcode Capture.

ID​

  • The configuration for the following documents has been changed as detailed below:
    • Australian mobile driver licenses (mDL) are now treated as normal documents, with no separate mode.
    • US Green Cards are now treated as residence permits.
  • Removed the deprecated API DateResult::toDate. Use DateResult::toLocalDate or DateResult::toUtcDate instead.
  • fullName now an optional field on all IdCapture result types and capturedMrz now an optional field on MrzResult.

Bug Fixes​

ID​

  • Fixed a bug that could get the scanner stuck when scanning a US passport card.

Deprecations​

Core​

  • VideoResolution::Auto is now deprecated. Please use the capture mode's recommendedCameraSettings for the best results.
