If you previously downloaded our Barcode Scanner SDK for iPhone you need to download it again. In the SDK folder there are two different versions of the scanner – one for 3.0+ and another for 4.0+. Our latest SDK takes advantage of many cool features available in 4.0, but not reverse compatible with 3.0+. When 4.0 is released developers will have a tough decision to make – continue to support 3.0+ users or abandon them for 4.0 requiring an OS update (or new phone purchase for 2G iPhone users). Download HERE.

The Barcode Scanner SDK supports both 1D (UPC and EAN) and 2D (QR and Datamatrix) barcodes. Specifically designed to work on both fixed and variable focal length cameras, our Barcode Scanning library is one of the best in the business and best of all it is FREE!

How will this impact ShopSavvy? ShopSavvy is running an older version of our new SDK now so it is a fairly good example of the SDK in action (note the latest version has a few improvements). When 4.0 is released later this year we will be updating our primary app – ShopSavvy with all of the 4.0 goodness meaning anyone who can’t update to 4.0 (i.e. you 2G iPhone users) will be left out in the cold. We have a solution – ‘ShopSavvy Classic’ – will be released for anyone unable or unwilling to update to 4.0. The classic version of ShopSavvy will sport our old icon/logo and our ‘classic’ UI. We decided to completely overhaul our UI for 4.0 and we know it will irk longtime ShopSavvy users – good news, you can download ShopSavvy Classic and enjoy the old look and feel.
