Release Notes

Android 53.0.0: Release Notes

iOS 53.0.0: Release Notes

[Japanese Landing Permission] This release fixes an issue where scanning Japanese Landing Permission slips would show a displacement of the visual feedback.

[SDK] All ScanViewConfigs passed are now validated against a JSON schema. This will result in earlier detection of any problems with the config.

The following ScanViewConfigs have been updated to be compliant with the new ScanViewConfig JSON Schemas. If you find that you were using these as a basis for your ScanViewConfig, it is recommended that you compare your ScanViewConfig with the changes in the following files on our Developer Examples on Github.

Functionality has been added that allows validation of ScanView configurations. Based on Android & iOS 53.0.0

Android 52.0.1: Release Notes

iOS 52.0.1: Release Notes

[Android] [Barcode] This release improves the reliability of scanning torn or broken barcodes with the advanced barcode reader.

[Android] [Barcode] Occasionally devices with less capable cameras struggled with dense barcodes. We have improved the accuracy on those cameras.

[Breaking] The UI Feedback preset tin_custom_v1 has been replaced by tin_with_instruction_overlay_image_text_sound_feedback, which includes additional attributes. If you are currently using the tin_custom_v1 preset, please make sure you follow its correct usage.

[Tire] This release improves the overall accuracy of the Tire Identification Number (DOT) Scanner. This is especially targeting tire numbers with wider spaces (e.g. some Yokohama tires) between individual parts.

[General] Technical improvement for handling network connections, such that bad internet connectivity does not impact the UI when scanning.

[Android] [Barcode] Sometimes coordinates reported by the advanced barcode reader were inaccurate. The SDK now reports barcode coordinates more reliably.

[iOS] When stopping the scan plugin without stopping the scan view camera as well, some users continuously experienced 100% CPU usage on their devices. This release fixes this issue.

[General] This release fixes an issue where bad internet connectivity would lead to freezes and occasional crashes when finishing a scan.

[Japanese Landing Permissions] This release fixes an issue where parts of previous results show up in later results.

[iOS] In recent releases the beep sound (when configured) could not be heard after a successful scan. This release fixes this issue.

To improve the integrity of checksums implemented internally within the SDK, usage of MD5 hash algorithms has been replaced with SHA-512. This change does not have any visible impact to customers or integrators, however represents an increase in security of the SDK overall.

Android 51.4.0: Release Notes

iOS 51.4.0: Release Notes

Added a new UI Feedback Config feature with the TIN preset to be used together with the TIN/DOT scan plugin. For more information, please see UI Feedback config.

Android 51.3.1: Release Notes

iOS 51.3.1: Release Notes

The Commercial Tire ID scanner couldn’t scan some tire IDs because our default validation regex was too strict. We made the regex less strict, so now users can scan a wider range of commercial tire IDs. Users will also notice an improved accuracy on all commercial tire IDs.

[Android] If you use a local implementation of the Anyline Plugin for Cordova instead of the npm dependency, 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:

Because of the fundamental nature of changes, there are no deprecations to list for this version.
