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Please note that this is outdated documentation for an older release of the Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK.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

Troubleshooting Cordova/PhoneGap

App crashes when the barcode picker is shown

An app crash when the barcode picker is shown can occur if there is a problem with our Scandit SDK and/or the way it is used in your app. Contact us at info@.nosp@m.scan.nosp@m.dit.c.nosp@m.om with the details of your setup (Android version, Android device name, info whether our demo app works correctly, and a description of the problem).

Note that for versions prior to 4.12, app crashes could also be the result of invalid app keys or use of the test version without internet access. This behavior has been removed in 4.12. Instead license validation or connectivity issues are now displayed in the barcode picker view.


Installing under Windows fails

Windows has a maximum file path length which means that it is not possible to create new folders after a certain depth in the file system has been reached. Since adding a plugin copies files in an already quite deep folder structure an install can fail because the maximum file path length has been reached and the system fails to copy all the files necessary. To avoid this move your project as high up in the file system as possible (to something like C:\yourProject).
