iOS

Bitcode support has been eliminated

Following the deprecation of Bitcode by Apple, we no longer support and have removed all Bitcode from the SDK framework.

Version 4.28.1

Target API increased to 33

To meet new requirements for apps published on the Google Play Store, the target version of the SDK has been increased to Android 13 with API level 33. This change is needed to avoid APK rejection caused by security issues found with older API versions.

4.28.0

Android

Target API increased to Android 12 (API 31)

To meet new requirements for apps published on the Google Play Store, the target version of the SDK has been increased to Android 12 with API 31 or higher. This change is needed to avoid APK rejection caused by security issues found with the older API versions.

Minimum supported version increased to Android 6 (API 23)

The minimum supported version has been increased to fully support new features and devices. Deprecated code has been replaced and simplified to be compatible with API 23 or higher.

iOS

Increased the minimum supported version to iOS 13

The minimum supported version has been increased to fully support all ARM64 devices and SwiftUI features. Deprecated code has been removed and replaced with code fully supporting iOS 13 or higher.

Fixed internal error conversion issues

Error codes converted between Objective-C and Swift need to have the NSCustomError setting implemented to display the correct value. Without this setting, the wrong codes could be displayed from the enum. The setting has been implemented in all the remaining error handling objects.

Change of framework name to MSSImageScanner

The framework name has been changed from ImageScannerSDK.xcframework to MSSImageScanner.xcframework.

Version 4.27.1

iOS

API updates – NSErrors API support for Objective-C added

The Objective-C API points no longer throw an NSException. All API points that previously would throw such an NSException now require an NSError pointer. If an error occurs, it will be attached to the pointer that is provided as a parameter. Refer to the Objective-C sample included in the product package for full code examples.
