Document Scanner Support Dropped

Android

Added

  • Added PluginResult for describing result data

    • Added a type of plugin result for each scanning capability

  • New event ScanView.onCutoutChanged that notifies the client when the cutout changed

  • Support for full frame scanning

  • [Tire] Added tire size specification fields to the result

  • [Barcode] Added AAMVA parsing for PDF417 codes on driving licenses

  • [ID]

    • Restructured ID results in a way that every field can contain date- & multi-language information

    • ID results also return face image, if one is available

Fixed

  • Watermark is displayed in the corner when using composite plugins

  • Watermark is now correctly shown below the cutout when not using composite plugins

  • Feedback style animated_rect also supports center alignment for the cutout

  • Corrected wrong position of cutout for animated_rect

Changed

  • Changed the SDK architecture from one using inheritance & generics to a composition-based approach

    • Instead of distinctive subclasses such as MeterScanViewPlugin, IDScanViewPlugin, etc. the SDK offers an ScanViewPlugin class regardless of the scanning use case

  • Changed the structure of how scanning use-cases are constructed through JSON

  • Introduced configuration types for every scanning use-case with a corresponding result type

Deprecated

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