Deprecation warning

Please note that this is outdated documentation for an older release of the Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK.

We are deprecating the 5.x API on all platforms (except Linux). Release 5.19 in April 2021 will be our final. Applications running 5.x will continue to work, and we will continue to release critical bug fixes and security patches only, for one year. We encourage you to migrate to 6.x and take advantage of our latest / advanced features and improved performance.

You'll find the updated documentation at: Data Capture SDK Documentation for Xamarin.Android and Data Capture SDK Documentation for Xamarin.iOS

Integrate the Scandit Barcode Scanner into your app

In contrast to Xamarin iOS and Xamarin Android, the Barcode Scanner is not bundled in the xam file. Instead, the standard Scandit.BarcodePicker NuGet package for Windows can be used to add barcode scanning functionality. Thus, the steps for adding the barcode scanner to your application are identical for Xamarin and a normal Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 UAP project. Instructions can be found here.
