This example app shows how to integrate the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK for MAUI and .NET (Native iOS and Android platforms).
The Scanbot SDK are available as a NuGet package for the MAUI and .NET platforms: ScanbotBarcodeSDK.MAUI ScanbotBarcodeSDK.NET
The Scanbot SDK lets you integrate barcode & document scanning, as well as data extraction functionalities, into your mobile apps and website. It contains different modules that are licensable for an annual fixed price. For more details, visit our website https://scanbot.io.
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.
We provide free "no-strings-attached" developer support for the implementation & testing of the Scanbot SDK. If you encounter technical issues with integrating the Scanbot SDK or need advice on choosing the appropriate framework or features, please visit our Support Page.

Assuming you already have your development machine setup, the following commands will help you build and debug our projects:
To build the iOS example project for both net7.0-ios and net8.0-ios, forcing packages to be restored and everything to be compiled from scratch:
dotnet build ScanbotBarcodeSDKExample/BarcodeSDK.NET.iOS.Example -r ios-arm64 --force --no-incremental
To run the project on a real device, specify a target framework with -f net8.0-ios and the Run target via -t:Run, yielding the following:
dotnet build ScanbotBarcodeSDKExample/BarcodeSDK.NET.iOS.Example -r ios-arm64 -f net8.0-ios -t:Run --force --no-incremental
To build the Android example project for both net7.0-android and net8.0-android, forcing packages to be restored and everything to be compiled from scratch:
dotnet build ScanbotBarcodeSDKExample/BarcodeSDK.NET.Droid.Example --force --no-incremental
To run the project on a real device, specify a target framework with -f net8.0-android and the Run target via -t:Run, yielding the following:
dotnet build ScanbotBarcodeSDKExample/BarcodeSDK.NET.Droid.Example -f net8.0-android -t:Run --force --no-incremental
To build the MAUI example project for all supported target frameworks (net7.0-android, net7.0-ios, net8.0-android and net8.0-ios) and forcing packages to be restored and everything to be compiled from scratch, execute:
dotnet build ScanbotBarcodeSDKExample/BarcodeSDK.MAUI.Example --force --no-incremental
To run the project on a real iOS device, specify a target framework with -f net8.0-ios and the Run target via -t:Run, yielding the following:
dotnet build ScanbotBarcodeSDKExample/BarcodeSDK.MAUI.Example -f net8.0-ios -t:Run --force --no-incremental
To run the project on a real Android device, specify a target framework with -f net8.0-android and the Run target via -t:Run, yielding the following:
dotnet build ScanbotBarcodeSDKExample/BarcodeSDK.MAUI.Example -f net8.0-android -t:Run --force --no-incremental
The Scanbot SDK will run without a license for one minute per session!
After the trial period has expired all Scanbot SDK functions as well as the UI components (like the Document Scanner UI) will stop working or may be terminated. You have to restart the app to get another trial period.
