Please follow these simple steps to integrate our SDK into your iOS project:
1. Copy MRZScannerSDK.framework into your project's folder and add it in your project as an embedded binary.
2. Import the scanner by adding this line of code:
#import <MRZScannerSDK/MRZScannerSDK.h>
import MRZScannerSDK
3. Start the scanner with the following code:
MRZScannerController * mrzSannerController = [MRZScannerController new];
[MRZScannerController registerLicenseWithKey:@"Licence_key"];
mrzSannerController.delegate = self;
UIViewController *currentViewController = self.navigationController ? self.navigationController : self;
[currentViewController addChildViewController:mrzSannerController]; [mrzSannerController initUI:currentViewController];
let mrzScannerController = MRZScannerController()
MRZScannerController.registerLicense(withKey: "Licence_key")
mrzScannerController?.delegate = self
let currentViewController : UIViewController! = self.navigationController != nil ? self.navigationController : self
currentViewController.addChild(mrzScannerController!)
mrzScannerController?.initUI(currentViewController)
4. To get the result, add <MRZScannerDelegate> and implement:
- (void) successfulScanWithResult:(MRZResultDataModel*)result
func successfulScan(withResult result: MRZResultDataModel!)
5. Add the following row in your Info.plist file:
key: NSCameraUsageDescription
value: MRZ Scanner requires using camera
6. In Build Settings set Enable Bitcode to NO
