New Features

Increased the minimum iOS version to 13.0.
Added support for Rectangular Micro QR Code (standardized in ISO/IEC 23941).
Added support for Composite Code flag parsing for GS1-128 (Code128).
Added misprint correction for UPCA/EAN13 barcodes for cases where wide bars were split into two thinner bars.
Updated the camera behavior to overcome the scanning challenges found on the iPhone 13 Pro (Max) and iPhone 14 Pro (Max) when using the built-in camera for barcode scanning. Our testing showed that barcodes that are less than 2 cm or ~1 inch in size (and usually have such small features) were impacted.

Improved scanning of EAN-13 codes by reducing UPCE false positives inside EAN-13 rate to below 1%.
Reduced UPCE and EAN-8 false positive scans in non-barcode patterns to below 1% which nearly eliminates incidents of returning a scan when pointing camera to patterns that look like barcodes.
Fixed the camera preview on Aquos Sense 2 models that were previously flickering.
Fix the issue that calling IdCapture.reset() led to decrease of performance when IdCaptureOverlay was used.

Added the Ean13UpcaClassification helper class to easily distinguish UPC-A and EAN-13 barcodes. Normally they are both returned as an Symbology.ean13Upca because UPC-A codes are a subset of EAN-13 instead of an entirely separate symbology.

Contains no bug fixes for this platform.
