Developer Community Updates

As we are preparing to update our Socket Mobile Companion app and CaptureSDK to support Android 12, we realized that the transition could potentially cause device connection issues that interrupt end user's workflow. To avoid these interruptions as much as possible, we are making additional changes to ensure the end users will have a smooth experience for the transition.

Socket Mobile has added support for MAUI in the latest update of our C# nuget package for CaptureSDK. MAUI is the replacement for Xamarin from Microsoft and will be the new way to develop cross-platform mobile and desktop apps in C# going forward.

The latest update of CaptureSDK for Android and CaptureSDK Java V1.6 includes support for SocketCamC820, a free camera-based scanning solution. With SocketCam C820, your customers now have the option to use the camera on their mobile devices to read 1D/2D barcodes.

Swift Package Manager (SPM) support has been added to CaptureSDK, and application developers can now explore the benefits of the managing solution and the steps to integrate it.

SocketCam's camera-based data capture optimizes and accelerates inspections and auditing processes across a range of commercial environments. Whether for safety, security, access control, compliance, or service usage monitoring, SocketCam provides a quick and efficient data capture solution.

The new S720 Linear Barcode plus QR code reader provides high-performance, efficient 2D barcode reading that will take you into the future of data capture. With our new S700 trade-in program, users can receive the S720 at a discounted price and upgrade to 2D barcode functionality.

There’s a lot of reasons why developers choose Socket Mobile’s CaptureSDK to integrate with their applications, with one of the biggest being the ever-growing library of supported platforms. That library grew earlier this spring when Socket Mobile announced its support for Flutter.  Let’s take a closer look at what this means for app developers, as well as for the larger community of CaptureSDK users.
