Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK Example App for Xamarin & Xamarin.Forms

These example apps demonstrate how to integrate the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK for Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms.

What is the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK?

Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK is a simple to use high level API, providing a collection of classes and functions for scanning and parsing 1D and 2D barcodes from your mobile device's camera or other image sources like your photo library.

The SDK for Xamarin is available as NuGet packages:

• ScanbotBarcodeSDK.Xamarin
• ScanbotBarcodeSDK.Xamarin.Forms

Trial License

The Scanbot SDK will run without a license for one minute per session!

After the trial period has expired, all SDK functions and UI components will stop working. You have to restart the app to get another one-minute trial period.

To try the Scanbot SDK without a one-minute limit, you can get a free “no-strings-attached” trial license. Please submit the Trial License Form on our website.
