8.6.2​

Released: October 26, 2026

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed an issue with MicroQR that prevented improvements for rotated codes and codes with cluttered backgrounds from being available in production builds.
  • Fixed an issue in SparkScan where, with hold-to-scan disabled, pressing and holding the collapsed trigger button and then releasing it started scanning.
  • Fixed an issue that could increase the time to scan when only QR or Data Matrix is enabled and there are more than 8 codes in the frame while using Barcode Tracking, Barcode AR, Barcode Pick, Barcode Find and Label Capture.
  • Fixed an issue where pausing or stopping a Barcode AR view discarded the highlights and annotations that were already shown. Taps and position updates now keep working, and resuming no longer requires the app to supply them again.

Core​

  • Fixed TypeScript compilation for projects that type-check declaration files (skipLibCheck: false) by declaring the eventemitter3 dependency in the core package.
  • Adjusted SDK views and the scan area for devices with horizontal safe-area insets, such as the iPhone Duo cover display. The scan area now excludes the left and right safe-area insets.
  • Fixed the iOS Podfiles in the Capacitor samples, which were missing their closing end in 8.6.0 and 8.6.1, so npx cap sync ios failed with Invalid Podfile file: syntax error, unexpected end-of-input.

8.6.1​

Released: October 1, 2026

New Features​

Id​

  • Visa VIZ results for Canadian visa stickers now report the full 10-character number in VizResult.visaNumber (the MRZ result remains truncated).
  • Added IdCaptureSettings.notifyOnSideCapture. When enabled, the capture callback fires for both the front and the back side of a double-sided document, so your app gets a partial result independent of the back side scan. Use CapturedId.isCapturingComplete to tell a partial result from a complete one.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed a QR scanning accuracy regression introduced in 8.6 for codes with degraded finder patterns (round, dotted, curved, bent, damaged) in single-barcode scanning.
  • Rectangular Micro QR: Fixed a rare crash during detection of codes whose finder pattern covers a large part of the frame, such as when scanning at very close range.
  • Fixed a Data Matrix scanning accuracy regression introduced in 8.4.0 for codes scanned with the direct_part_marking_mode symbology extension.
  • Fixed Data Matrix codes not being read when their encoder ends the data with an Unlatch codeword followed by more than one pad codeword.
  • Fixed a 1D symbology scan regression from SDK 5.19 for codes with colored backgrounds, such as dark print on a saturated label.
  • Fixed the barcode duplicate filter explicitly set to -2 under SelectionMode On not being respected and being incorrectly relaxed to 0.
  • Fixed pausing or stopping a Barcode AR view discarding the highlights and annotations that were already shown, so taps and position updates keep working and resuming no longer requires the app to supply them again.

Id​

  • Fixed the 2026 Oklahoma driver's license not returning the Jurisdiction and JurisdictionIso fields.
  • Fixed a crash in the IdCapture overlay when it was tapped.
  • Updated the bundled ID Validate model to 8.0.20260626, which fixes valid Ohio driver's licenses (OH0901DL format) being reported as forged by ID Validate. This model was previously delivered over the air; it is now included in the SDK, so new installs use it from the first scan.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Fixed a bug where the camera preview could remain black or frozen when opening a scanning screen after leaving a LabelCapture validation flow screen.

Core​

  • Fixed a crash that terminated the app when a camera frame used a pixel layout the SDK cannot convert, for example frames produced by the camera image-injection features of automated testing services. Such frames are now skipped with a warning instead.
  • Fixed customer archives for Capacitor, Cordova and React Native shipping unresolvable workspace:* dependency specifiers, so npm install now succeeds in the bundled samples.

8.6.0​

Released: August 31, 2026

New Features​

Barcode​

  • BarcodeArResponsiveAnnotation now takes a map of distance thresholds to annotations, so a barcode can show a different annotation at any number of distances instead of only close-up and far-away. The previous two-state API is deprecated, see Deprecations below.
  • Added the zoomControlOrientation property to BarcodeArView.
  • Added the BarcodeArCircleHighlight.isPulsing property to toggle the highlight's pulsing animation.
  • Extended BarcodeBatch on Android so that setting the overlay brush to null clears the highlights of tracked barcodes, matching iOS.
  • Extended the support for DotCode features by adding support for:
    • Extended Channel Interpretation (ECI). Symbols that switch character sets (for example to Cyrillic or another code page) now report the correct per-segment encoding. As part of this, the default character set for DotCode is now reported as ISO 8859-1 instead of ASCII.
    • Message envelopes as defined in ISO/IEC 15434.
    • Structured append. DotCode has no file ID, so segments are not automatically grouped by the buffered barcode session.

Id​

  • Extended the VizDocumentScanner sanitizer restriction to run all sanitizers for front-and-back captures and only reject on front-only captures, so front-side VIZ field corrections are no longer lost in double-sided captures.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Added the CameraSwitchControl API. The control can be added to a DataCaptureView to let end users switch between a primary and a secondary camera (for example, back and front), with customizable button images and accessibility labels.
  • Added support for label definitions that use the "semantics" feature on fields of both type "barcode" and "text" simultaneously; previously only one of the two types could use it at once.

Core​

  • Added support in the GS1 parser for the telecom Application Identifiers 8040 (IMEI), 8041 (IMEI2), 8042 (eSIM/EID), and 8043 (pSIM), so GS1 codes carrying them parse instead of being rejected as unrecognized.
  • Added more detailed error reporting when required resources are missing.
  • Added iOS support for multiple DataCaptureView instances to render the camera preview simultaneously, so navigating between screens that each show a DataCaptureView no longer causes black or frozen previews, including during interactive edge-swipe transitions. DataCaptureView also now renders a preview when the frame source is an ImageFrameSource or SequenceFrameSource.
  • Added LicenseInfo.allowedModes, exposing the set of capture modes a license key permits via the new CaptureMode enum.
  • Added support for reading camera frames directly into a SharedArrayBuffer in supported environments (currently Chrome or Firefox, when pthread is enabled), avoiding an extra copy.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Reduced the false positive rate for EAN13, UPCA, EAN8, and UPC-E.
  • Improved ITF decoding robustness, reducing the number of unscanned codes. On our internal datasets, we measured an improvement of more than 20% true positives.
  • Improved MicroQR decoding for rotated codes and cluttered backgrounds. On our internal datasets, we measured an improvement of more than 40% true positives.

Id​

  • Improved PDF417 scanning on Quebec, Alaska, and Oklahoma driver’s licenses.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Changed the default highlight brush in SparkScan and Barcode Capture.
  • Updated recommended camera settings for MatrixScan Batch, Find, Pick, Sequence, and AR, now using UHD4K resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
  • MatrixScan Count uses a new default colour for scanned (counted) barcodes, chosen to meet accessibility contrast requirements. It applies to single scanned barcodes, to the barcodes inside a cluster, and to the cluster highlight itself. To keep your previous appearance, set the colour through the existing icon customization.
  • Enabled detection and decoding of mirrored MaxiCodes by default. Previously this required enabling the symbology extension mirrored, which has been removed.
  • Limited the GS1 format flag for DotCode to genuine GS1 openings (a leading digit pair without FNC1) per AIM DotCode v3.0, instead of defaulting all symbols to GS1.
  • Disabled enhanced low-resolution scanning of QR codes (introduced in 8.5.0) for MatrixScan modes. Customers who need this feature should contact Scandit support.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed a crash when clearing highlights or changing the scanning state on a MatrixScan Count mode that had been removed from its data capture context.
  • Fixed a bug with the highlight colors of BarcodeCount clusters.
  • Fixed the MatrixScan Count not-in-list accept/reject popover not reflecting a custom accepted/rejected ScanditIcon when configured.
  • Fixed BarcodeArPopoverAnnotation.isEntirePopoverTappable not applying changes, and popover tap callbacks being lost after annotation updates on iOS.
  • Fixed a visual artifact that could appear around the scan preview indicators in MatrixScan Count when using Scan Preview.
  • Fixed MatrixScan AR to adapt to the device UI scale.
  • Fixed rare cases where DotCode Code Set C symbols using the date/lot macro decoded to incorrect data due to a dropped leading zero in a digit pair.
  • Fixed a regression where short ITF codes with low wide/narrow ratio were not decoded.

Id​

  • Fixed a crash that could occur when navigating away from a screen while a hint was displayed.
  • Improved the DLID parser, fixing previously unparsable codes found in analytics.
  • Hardened dependency resolution for Android native samples.
  • Resolved a duplicate Objective-C class registration that could trigger spurious casting failures or crashes when an app links both ScanditCaptureCore and ScanditIdCapture.
  • Fixed an issue where the VLM scanning screen remained permanently displayed if IdCaptureSettings were applied mid-scan.
  • Fixed BarcodeResult.barcodeDataElements always being empty. The field is now correctly populated with the parsed AAMVA barcode data elements.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Fixed a bug where the receipt scanning overlay and validation flow overlay could not be used on the same mode instance.
  • Fixed prebuilt date fields to recognize Spanish month abbreviations. The abbreviations ene, abr, ago, and dic are newly supported; the remaining Spanish abbreviations already resolved because they match their English form. The expiry-date anchor additionally recognizes common Spanish expiry terms such as caducidad, vencimiento, consumir antes, and consumo preferente.

Core​

  • Fixed a SequenceFrameSource occasionally delivering the same frame to its listeners twice.
  • Fixed Nokia G11 and Nokia 8.3 5G devices not correctly getting the Camera2 path when API2-only features were requested.
  • Fixed the Galaxy Note10 camera profile selection so the international Note10 family (SM-N970x/SM-N971x) gets its intended fixed-focus and Camera2 behaviors.
  • Fixed the Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965x) camera profile selection so Camera2-based capture is enabled on those devices as intended.
  • Fixed the camera preview appearing darker in single-scan modes after using a mode that applies its own exposure adjustment, such as SparkScan or MatrixScan Count.
  • Fixed a race condition in SimplePropertyBehaviorSubject where mutating the subscriber list during a callback could cause crashes or missed notifications.
  • Fixed an IllegalStateException in analytics HTTPS requests when the app is instrumented by APM tools such as Dynatrace.
  • Fixed EventsResponse::getRetryTimeoutInSeconds to return a fallback instead of aborting on out-of-range header values.
  • Fixed an issue in MatrixScanARSimpleSample where status icons could occasionally appear blank and unresponsive.

Deprecations​

Barcode​

  • Deprecated the two-state BarcodeArResponsiveAnnotation API in favor of a new configurable annotationsByThreshold map that supports more than two distance states; the previous two-state API remains available.
  • Deprecated the SparkScan target-mode APIs and ScanIntention.SmartSelection in favor of the new SelectionMode API: set selectionMode (off/on/auto) on BarcodeCaptureSettings and SparkScanSettings to control whether an aimed-at barcode is scanned automatically or requires explicit selection.

8.5.5​

Released: October 29, 2026

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed a Data Matrix scanning accuracy regression introduced in 8.4.0 for codes scanned with the direct_part_marking_mode symbology extension.

Core​

  • Fixed libscanditsdk.so being rejected as not 16 KB page-size compatible on Android 17.

8.5.4​

Released: October 19, 2026

Bug Fixes​

Id​

  • Updated the bundled ID Validate model to 8.0.20260626, which fixes valid Ohio driver's licenses (OH0901DL format) being reported as forged by IdValidate. This model was previously delivered over the air; it is now included in the SDK, so new installs use it from the first scan.

8.5.3​

Released: August 18, 2026

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Disabled enhanced low-resolution scanning of QR codes (introduced in 8.5.0) for MatrixScan modes. Customers who need this feature should contact Scandit support.

8.5.2​

Released: July 31, 2026

Performance Improvements​

Id​

  • Improved performance of Irish Garda Age Card

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed BarcodeCount clusters where the not-in-list cluster color incorrectly followed the matched/deviated customization.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Fixed a memory leak preventing the batch and label advanced overlay from being collected until the mode they're bound to is collectable.

8.5.1​

Released: July 20, 2026

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed BarcodeCapture and SparkScan not applying a selectionMode change from On to Auto, which left the aimer visible.

Id​

  • Fixed an incorrect license key check that prevented scanning of documents with a PDF417 barcode or MRZ on one side, and of mDLs read via OCR.

8.5.0​

Released: July 9, 2026

New Features​

Barcode​

  • 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.

Id​

  • Added Irish Garda Age Card as RegionSpecificSubtype.IrelandAgeCard.
  • 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.

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

Bug Fixes​

  • 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.
  • Fixed a bug where setting valueRegexes or anchorRegexes to null in frameworks was incorrectly treated the same as setting them to an empty list; they now correctly fall back to the definition type's defaults.

Core​

  • Fixed SPM resolution failure in Capacitor 8 / Xcode 26 projects (CapApp-SPM) caused by an invalid Package.swift header and an outdated capacitor-swift-pm version pin.
  • 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.

8.4.2​

Released: September 28, 2026

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed a Data Matrix scanning accuracy regression introduced in 8.4.0 for codes scanned with the direct_part_marking_mode symbology extension.

  • Fixed BarcodeAR not displaying an overlay for every scanned barcode when duplicate barcode values are present.
  • Fixed a memory leak in SparkScan when using the item-based API.

Id​

  • Fixed an issue where cropped document images were rotated when they are recovered using the getFrame API.
  • Resolved a duplicate Objective-C class registration that could trigger spurious casting failures or crashes when an app links both ScanditCaptureCore and ScanditIdCapture.

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 more intuitive scanning experience that requires no manual configuration.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Id​

  • Added NationalityISO property that maps results from Nationality field to country ISO code
  • Added RejectionDiagnosticJSON property to CapturedId to report debug info during Timeout rejections
  • Added support for new California DL, new South Carolina DL, Arizona Medical Marijuana Card, Kuwait Civil card, and new Texas DL
  • Our SDK can now scan the following documents both in single-side and double-side mode:
    • All Mexican DLs
    • Mexican Voter Cards

Core​

  • Added webViewContentOnTop to DataCaptureView so hybrid apps can place HTML overlays above the camera preview without sacrificing native gestures. Default behaviour stays unchanged; when you enable the property, the bridge now mirrors Android and iOS touch routing—JS UI elements receive taps first, and any unhandled touch paths through to the native DataCaptureView. Improved resilience: both platforms fall back automatically if the WebView can't evaluate the hit-test logic, preventing stalled gestures even under heavy load.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Improved MicroQR detector tolerance to quiet zone violations
  • Improved suppression of incorrect Codabar recognitions when using the “strict" symbology extension

Smart Label Capture​

  • Incremental improvements in accuracy across all use-cases for the OCR model powering Smart Label Capture.

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 through sophisticated tasks to ensure the highest level of productivity.

Core​

  • The Capacitor Kotlin plugin version used is now 1.9.25, enabling support for projects using Capacitor 7.

Barcode​

  • Updated the Gradle version for all sample applications to 8.14.3.
  • BarcodeBatchBasicOverlay and BarcodeBatchBasicOverlayListener now allow for nullable brushes.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Smart Label Capture is now available for Capacitor. It enables the capture of any label, regardless of its layout or format, and extracts the relevant information automatically. This is achieved through a combination of AI-based text recognition and barcode scanning, allowing users to capture all necessary data in a single scan. Smart Label Capture is ideal for applications such as inventory management, asset tracking, and logistics, where labels can vary widely in design and content.
  • 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

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Symbology RM4SCC has been renamed to ROYAL_MAIL_4STATE.
  • Changed the default highlight brush in SparkScan and Barcode Capture.

  • The configuration for the following documents has been changed as detailed below:
    • Australian mobile driver licenses (mDL) are now treated as normal documents, with no separate mode.
    • US Green Cards are now treated as residence permits.
  • Removed the deprecated API DateResult::toDate. Use DateResult::toLocalDate or DateResult::toUtcDate instead.
  • fullName now an optional field on all IdCapture result types and capturedMrz now an optional field on MrzResult.

Bug Fixes​

ID​

  • Fixed a bug that could get the scanner stuck when scanning a US passport card.
