8.5.0​

Released: July 9, 2026

Known Issues

SDK 8.5.0 has a known issue that causes ID Capture to silently fail to scan any PDF417 ID in some customer configurations. Customers using ID Capture are recommended to stay on their current versions until version 8.5.1 is released.

New Features​

Barcode​

  • MatrixScan Sequence: Introduced several new configurations to adapt the sequencing flow:
    • Configure the duration of the idle timeout via BarcodeSequenceSettings.IdleTimeout.
    • Set the accepted device orientation via BarcodeSequenceSettings.shelfSequencingOrientation. Defaults to LANDSCAPE_ONLY, with PORTRAIT_ONLY and ANY also available. The rotate-device prompt's default text now reflects the configured orientation.
    • Toggle the per-row tray indicator label (e.g. "Row 1") through shouldShowTrayIndicatorText on the BarcodeSequenceView.
  • Added group scanning to MatrixScan Count, enabled via BarcodeCountSettings. Group scanning lets users count items in distinct groups, for example one pallet or delivery at a time, within a single session. Three controls manage the flow: Next group saves the current group's scans and clears its AR highlights so the next group starts on a clean screen; Redo clears the scans for the current group only, leaving already-completed groups untouched; Finish ends the session.
  • Added BarcodeCountSettings.ExpectedNumberOfBarcodesPerCluster to MatrixScan Count to declare how many barcodes each cluster should contain (for example, 2 for labels carrying two barcodes). Any cluster that deviates from the expected count is flagged and highlighted with a default yellow brush (overridable).
  • Added support for ScanditIcon in MatrixScan Count highlights.
  • 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.
  • Added logoStyle and logoAnchor customization properties to BarcodeArView, BarcodeCountView, BarcodeFindView, BarcodePickView, and BarcodeSequenceView.
  • Updated BarcodeCountView clusters to show normal indicators when no status is provided in status mode.

Id​

  • Added Irish Garda Age Card as RegionSpecificSubtype.IrelandAgeCard.
  • Added a new PassportType property to MrzResult.
  • 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.
  • Improved lifecycle handling of LabelCaptureValidationFlowOverlay in unexpected scenarios.

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, e.g. scanning against a known list of valid codes or when codes contain structured data.
  • Updated SymbologyDescription.forIdentifier to return null for unrecognized identifiers (e.g. "EAN-8" instead of "ean8"); previously such input was silently mapped to Codabar.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed an issue where the "Remove" button in the sequence popover would sometimes not work.
  • 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.
  • Fixed PDF417 macro block file ID decoding to correctly handle numeric formatting according to the ISO/IEC 15438:2015 specification.
  • Fixed rare cases of incorrect (tiny) PDF417 location outlines.

Id​

  • Fixed an issue where cropped document images were rotated when Frame Image was also enabled.
  • 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.

Core​

  • Fixed an Android camera issue where zoom values outside the device-supported range were sent to Camera2 on Android R+ (API 30+) without clamping, which could cause the capture request to fail and stall the preview.
  • Fixed a rare crash when starting camera capture while under memory pressure.
  • Fixed a rare crash when opening the camera.
  • Fixed a crash when the DataCaptureContext singleton was initialized more than once.

Deprecations​

Barcode​

  • The SparkScan target-mode APIs and ScanIntention.smartSelection are deprecated in favour of selectionMode.
  • Deprecated the BarcodeCountView.newInstance() overloads that accept a DataCaptureView on Android (will be removed in 9.0); pass a DataCaptureContext instead.
  • Added ScanditIcon support for BarcodeCount status mode highlights, and deprecated the SDCBarcodeCountStatus-based highlight API.

8.4.1​

Released: June 23, 2026

Bug Fixes​

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Added an Error entry to BarcodeSequenceState, triggered when the sequencing process encounters an error.
  • Added dotRadius property to BarcodeBatchBasicOverlay to allow customizing the size of dots when using the Dot overlay style.
  • Added shouldShowShutterButton flag in BarcodeSequenceView to hide the main shutter button and blinking indicator; added BarcodeSequenceView::startSequencing() and BarcodeSequenceView::pauseSequencing() (iOS) / BarcodeSequenceView::stopSequencing() (Android) to programmatically replicate the shutter button behavior; exposed BarcodeSequenceState enum and BarcodeSequenceViewUIListener::onStateChanged to be notified when a state change occurs; exposed BarcodeSequenceView::state to retrieve the current state; exposed BarcodeSequenceView::sequencedShelfModule to retrieve the scanned shelf module.

Id​

  • Added support for reading the vehicle table on the back of New Zealand driving licences, with the latest expiry date returned; supported vehicle classes are 1–6, including L=learner and R=restricted variants.
  • Added support for new versions of USA, California – Driver's License; USA, North Carolina – Driver's License; USA, Texas – Driver's License; and USA, Oklahoma – Driver's License.

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​

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 seamless and more intuitive scanning experience.
  • 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.
  • Added, in BarcodeAr, a BarcodeArFilter interface to selectively control which barcodes are displayed in the AR overlay based on custom filtering logic. You can set a filter via BarcodeAr.SetBarcodeFilter.
  • Added ScanditIconType.Slash which can be used in BarcodeArStatusIconAnnotationAnchor.
  • BarcodeCountView now supports cameras with different aspect ratios.

Id​

  • Added NationalityISO property that maps results from Nationality field to country ISO code

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 seamlessly through sophisticated tasks to ensure the highest level of productivity.

Core​

  • This release drops support for Android 6. The new minSdk version is now 24 (previously 23).

Barcode​

  • Updated the Gradle version for all sample applications to 8.14.3.
  • A new version of the SparkScan sample application implemented in Jetpack Compose is now available.
  • 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.

Smart Label Capture​

  • 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

      • Added property: storeAddress - Full address of the store (Street Number, Street, City, State, NPA).
      • Renamed property: paymentSubtotal → paymentPreTaxTotal - Total balance before taxes are applied.
    • ReceiptScanningLineItem:
      • Removed property: category.
      • Renamed properties: price → unitPrice (Price for a single unit of the item), total → totalPrice (Total price for a specific product, quantity × unitPrice).

ID​
