New Features​

ID​

  • Added CapturedId::toJsonWithoutImages, a more performant conversion method if images are not needed.

7.5.0​

Released: August 12, 2025

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Added a proper API to configure the file system caching of the Frames: FrameDataSettings.IsFileSystemCacheEnabled(). Defaults to false.
  • SparkScan now supports Smart Scan Selection. 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. Users might have to manually switch to a special, more precise scanning mode (Target Mode), which is inefficient. 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 seamless and more intuitive scanning experience.
  • Improved support for non-standard GS1 AI codes.
  • The Barcode class now exposes a module count.

ID​

7.1.0​

Released: February 21, 2025

New Features​

Barcode​

  • MatrixScan Count now includes the ability to cluster barcodes that belong together. Barcodes can be auto-clustered based on their visual context, or manually grouped by the user by circling them on screen.
  • MatrixScan Count now includes the concept of a Barcode Spacial Grid, bringing the ability to map totes in a grid-like structure. Scanned codes will be returned with their relative location and can be displayed in a map view. This allows for fast and error-free in-store picking using dedicated carts and totes. The following classes have been added:
    • BarcodeSpatialGrid
    • BarcodeSpatialGridEditorView
    • BarcodeSpatialGridEditorViewSettings
    • BarcodeSpatialGridEditorViewListener
  • Introducing the Smart Duplicate Filter: unlike traditional time-based filters, this intelligent solution prevents re-scanning the same barcode unless intended, eliminating delays and improving accuracy. In user testing, it boosted task completion speeds by 10% and reduced unintentional barcode scans by 5% in workflows requiring intentional duplicate scans. Enable this new behavior by setting the existing codeDuplicateFilter property to the special value -2 — now the default for both Barcode Capture and SparkScan. See the documentation for details.
  • The following APIs have been added:
    • BarcodeFindViewSettings
      • withHardwareTriggers()
      • hardwareTriggerEnabled()
      • hardwareTriggerKeyCode()
    • BarcodeFindView
      • shouldShowZoomControl
      • hardwareTriggerSupported

ID​

  • Launched DataConsistency Verification, which identifies suspicious documents by verifying the consistency of data encoded in various parts of the document. This helps detect potential tampering or anomalies.
  • Launched a Rejection API to reject documents based on predefined criteria, streamlining validation processes. Examples include rejecting expired documents or those belonging to underage holders.
  • Enhanced the scanning capabilities for specific document types. When ScannerType::FullDocument is enabled, seamless scanning is now supported even for documents where the Scandit DataCapture SDK offers only Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) scanning.
  • Added support for scanning the Machine Readable Zone of non-standard Indian passports, where an MRZ line consists of 42 characters instead of 44.
  • Added support for scanning the Machine Readable Zone of the Chinese Mainland Travel Permit issued for non-Chinese citizens being residents of Hong Kong or Macau.
  • Unified the value of the sex field from VIZ and MRZ results so that it is always one of the values female, male or unspecified.

Core​

  • DataCaptureContext can be used as a singleton through DataCaptureContext.SharedInstance.
    • The license key must be set using DataCaptureContext.Initialize. This step is only required once. Once initialized, the context can be used as before.
    • It is important to call DataCaptureContext.RemoveCurrentMode() when the active mode is no longer needed, such as when navigating away from a screen used for scanning.
    • The following methods have been added (also see Deprecations, below, for removed methods):
      • setMode: Sets a mode to be the active mode in the context.
      • removeCurrentMode: Removes the currently active mode in the context.
      • static sharedInstance: Returns a singleton instance of DataCaptureContext. This instance is unusable until properly configured by calling initialize() on it.
      • initialize(string licenseKey): Reinitializes the context by configuring it with a license key.
      • initialize(string licenseKey, string? frameworkName, string? frameworkVersion, string? deviceName, string? externalId, DataCaptureContextSettings settings): Reinitializes the context by configuring it with new settings.
    • Calling DataCaptureContext.addMode() or DataCaptureContext.setMode() now replaces the current mode with the new one, so it’s no longer needed to remove a mode when adding a new one.
    • The old non-singleton API is still available.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • We’ve increased the scan rate of 10% on our datasets of QR codes with high perspective distortion (so scanned at high angles). This is particularly important for cases such as receiving boxes or scanning shelf labels.

ID​

  • Scandit ID Scanning now uses an improved AI model to detect forged barcodes on US documents, which significantly improves accuracy.

Behavioral Changes​

  • XCode 16.1+ is now required.
  • After further improving the scanning speed on color-inverted QR and MicroQR codes, these variations can now be scanned without having to set any specific setting (as opposed to before), offering a better experience to developers.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed the setting of the default scanning behavior in SparkScanView.

ID​

  • Fixed an issue where it was not possible to scan the Visual Inspection Zone of passports if a license included the Visual Inspection Zone flag, but no Machine Readable Zone flag.
  • Fixed an issue where the scanning would become unresponsive when scanning certain passports.
  • Fixed an issue where the scanning would become unresponsive when scanning the back side of Romanian IDs.
  • Fixed an issue where some residence permits were incorrectly identified as ID cards when scanning their Machine Readable Zone.
  • Fixed an issue where it was not possible to scan an Irish Passport Card when ScannerType::FullDocumentScanner was enabled.
  • Fixed an issue where the personal identification number was not correctly anonymized on certain passports.

Deprecations​

Core​

  • The following methods of DataCaptureContext have been removed:
    • addMode: Replaced by setMode as only one mode can be active at a time.
    • removeAllModes: Replaced by removeCurrentMode as only one mode can be active at a time.

Barcode​

  • The following APIs have been removed:
    • BarcodeCountSettings.enableUnrecognizedBarcodeDetection
    • BarcodeCountView.getTextForUnrecognizedBarcodesDetectedHint
    • BarcodeCountView.setBrushForUnrecognizedBarcode
    • BarcodeCountView.setTextForUnrecognizedBarcodesDetectedHint
    • BarcodeCountViewListener.brushForUnrecognizedBarcode
    • BarcodeCountViewListener.onUnrecognizedBarcodeTapped

ID​

We’ve completely redesigned the ID Capture API to streamline document capture and validation. The latest version introduces enhanced configuration options and improved result structures for an intuitive integration experience. These include:

  • Easily configure which documents you capture using IdCaptureSettings.acceptedDocuments and IdCaptureSettings.rejectedDocuments. Choose entire document classes or refine selections by specific countries for precise control.
  • Use IdCaptureSettings.scannerType to specify which document sections are relevant for your capture process.
  • With just two callbacks — IdCaptureListener.onIdCaptured for success and IdCaptureListener.onIdRejected for rejection — it's straightforward to understand outcomes and define next steps, making the API simpler and more intuitive.
  • Access key aggregated data at the top level of CapturedId or retrieve details from specific document parts, such as CapturedId.visualInspectionZone, CapturedId.machineReadableZone, and CapturedId.barcode.
  • Retrieve document images, including the complete frame, through CapturedId.images.
