8.4.0-beta.1​

Released: May 5, 2026

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; and USA, Texas – Driver's License.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Added a Swift extension for LabelDateResult to improve ergonomics when using Swift..

Core​

  • Redesigned ZoomSwitchControl to support multiple configurable zoom levels; the control now displays as a compact button that expands to show all available zoom levels, automatically filtered to those supported by the device hardware.
  • Added a new PinchToZoom gesture.
  • Introduced a new ZoomListener on the Camera object.

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.

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.

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​

  • The minimum iOS version is now 14.

Barcode​

  • 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
