Changelog

Prior to this release, some specialized devices (e.g. Payment Terminals) using the front camera were unable to scan with the correct orientation. This restriction has now been lifted.

Resolved an issue that caused an unresponsive scanning experience in very specific situations, particularly related to composite scanning. This bug was exclusive to the previous version and has been successfully addressed.

Improvements to resolve possible memory leaks on Android 14 devices.

Added new UIFeedback Config feature and TIN preset to be used together with the TIN/DOT plugin. For more information see UIFeedback config.

To ensure uninterrupted access to the Mobile SDK for Android dependency, please update the SDK URL in your build.gradle files. Specifically, you need to replace the existing Maven repository URL:

Fixed a bug where the cutout was not drawn during the first use of the scanner.

Added new United Kingdom driver’s license (layout 11002) to the Universal ID scanner. This allows you to scan UK driver’s licenses that have been issued post-Brexit.

[Breaking] On Android, we’ve made changes to the package structure by moving several classes from the old io.anyline package to the new io.anyline2 package. This includes:

The camera.CameraView.enableBarcodeDetection method has been removed. Please use camera.CameraView.addNativeBarcodeReceivedEventListener instead.
