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

7.5.0​

Released: August 12, 2025

New Features​

Core​

  • Added a new property to the DataCaptureView: shouldShowZoomNotification . When enabled, the data capture view may display notifications to inform users about updates in zoom level. Defaults to true.
  • Added accessibility labels and hints to the Zoom Switch Control.
  • Improved support for non-standard GS1 AI codes.
  • The Barcode class now exposes a module count.

Barcode​

  • 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.
  • Added BarcodeArResponsiveAnnotation, which automatically switches between close-up and far-away info annotations based on the barcode’s size on screen.
  • Barcode AR now supports customizable notifications.
  • Updated the SearchAndFindSample application to use SparkScan instead of BarcodeCapture.

Smart Label Capture​

  • In MatrixScan Pick you can now specify different loading text for picking and unpicking in BarcodePickViewSettings.
  • Added support for structured append QR codes in all MatrixScan modes. They are exposed over ScObjectCountingSession and rendered as a group. The API is identical to how structured append is used in a single barcode use case: the entire structured append data is accessible on all sub code results.

ID​

  • Unify the result value when parsing the sex field, including added support for special characters used, so that it is always one of the values female, male or unspecified.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Smart Label Capture introduces a new workflow: Validation Flow.

New Features​

Barcode​

  • MatrixScan AR in now available, offering prebuilt views designed to quickly build custom workflows with augmented reality for your existing app. By highlighting barcodes and displaying additional information or user interaction elements over them, any process can be enhanced with state-of-the-art augmented reality overlays.
  • 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 function has been added to BarcodePickAsyncMapperProductProvider, to enable changing the product database and restart picking:
    • UpdateProductList
  • The following methods have been added to BarcodeCountView:
    • setBrushForAcceptedBarcode()
    • setBrushForRejectedBarcode()
  • Added a new constructor for BarcodeFindItemSearchOptions for receiving a Brush, allowing different barcodes to use different Brushes for rendering the dots.

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.

Label Capture​

  • To simplify working with dates in Smart Label Capture (e.g., capturing an expiry date), we’ve added native support for dates in LabelField. Now, if a field contains a date you can retrieve it as a date object using LabelField.asDate().

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​

  • 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 a rare crash affecting the camera.
  • Fixed a rare camera crash that occurred if updating the camera settings while the camera is active.
  • Fixed bugs in BarcodeCountView where filtered barcode indicators would not be tapable and where TalkBack would incorrectly focus on empty, unlabeled views.

  • Fixed an issue where the personal identification number was not correctly anonymized on certain passports.
  • When scanning German Passport or ID Card MRZs the nationality was returned as D instead of the three-letter ISO (3166 standard) code DEU.

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.

7.0.2​

Released: January 20, 2025

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.

Performance Improvements​

  • Improved tracking of 1D barcodes that are horizontally aligned.
  • MatrixScan Count’s tracking robustness is improved with quick recovery of tracking failures.
  • Improved decoding of blurry 1D barcodes on new Android devices.

Breaking Changes​

Barcode​

  • The MatrixScan API (BarcodeTracking) has been renamed to BarcodeBatch. All classes have been renamed accordingly (e.g. BarcodeTrackingListener → BarcodeBatchListener).

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Intention is now enabled by default.
  • Updated BarcodeCountSession to now expose a Barcode list.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed an issue where calling applySettings would not update the Camera API.
  • Fixed a rare crash affecting the camera.
  • Fixed a sporadic crash in BarcodePickView caused by negative view sizing when opening the keyboard.
  • Fixed a MatrixScan Count issue where the tap-to-uncount hints did not correctly show the number of uncounted items.

Deprecations​

In 7.0, we removed all APIs that were deprecated during the lifetime of 6.0. Before migrating to 7.0, we suggest upgrading to 6.28.1, fixing all deprecation warnings and then upgrading to 7.0.

Barcode​

  • The following SparkScan APIs have been deprecated:
    • SparkScanViewHandMode
    • SparkScanView.HandModeButtonVisible
    • SparkScanViewSettings.DefaultHandMode
    • SparkScanView.TorchButtonVisible
    • SparkScanView.StopCapturingText
    • SparkScanView.StartCapturingText
    • SparkScanView.ResumeCapturingText
    • SparkScanView.ScanningCapturingText
    • SparkScanView.CaptureButtonBackgroundColor
    • SparkScanView.CaptureButtonActiveBackgroundColor
    • SparkScanView.CaptureButtonTintColor

Text Capture​

Text Capture functionality has been deprecated in 7.0. If your use case requires text recognition, we recommend using Smart Label Capture instead.

ID​

The legacy ID Capture UI has been removed in 7.0. If you are using the legacy UI, you must migrate to the new ID Capture API.
