FREMONT,
Calif., April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket
Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), a leading provider of data capture and
delivery solutions designed to enhance workplace productivity, is
excited to announce the addition of SocketCam C860 camera scanning
support for its .NET MAUI
CaptureSDK.
.NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI, formerly Xamarin) is a versatile
cross-platform framework for creating native mobile and desktop
apps with C# and XAML that can run on Android & iOS from a
single shared code-base. Microsoft has transitioned Xamarin to .NET
MAUI and has stated that support
for Xamarin will end as of May 1,
2024. Facilitating the migration of projects to .NET
MAUI will ensure continued
support from Microsoft for bug fixes, critical updates, and
technical assistance. Socket Mobile will continue to support
Xamarin for existing projects that don't require updates and is now
adding advanced camera scanning support for its .NET MAUI/Xamarin developers.
SocketCam C860 is the latest software innovation from
Socket Mobile that utilizes the camera on any mobile device to
quickly and efficiently capture data. As the second addition to the
SocketCam family, the C860 offers upgraded scanning performance and
excels in reading damaged and other challenging barcodes under any
condition. Previously, Socket Mobile launched SocketCam C820, a
completely free solution catering to budget-conscious users with
basic scanning needs in optimal conditions. Socket Mobile is now
introducing a more advanced, subscription-based upgrade that
enables .NET MAUI developers to
meet the demands of users requiring more robust scanning
capabilities.
"We are thrilled to bring our advanced camera scanning software
to our .NET MAUI developers,
further empowering them to support their users consistently," said
Dave Holmes, Chief Business Officer
at Socket Mobile. "The launch of SocketCam C860 for .NET
MAUI reinforces our commitment to
supporting developers in addressing the diverse data capture needs
of their user base, from basic scanning requirements to the most
complex."
"We've built SocketCam directly into our CaptureSDK, and a
single integration ensures all Socket Mobile solutions work
seamlessly with their applications. This unified approach provides
users with smooth transitions from free and advanced camera
scanning to hardware scanning—giving them further flexibility to
adapt their data capture journey according to their evolving needs.
We look forward to continuing our support for developers and
enabling them to deliver reliable, efficient, and user-friendly
data capture solutions to their users."
SocketCam C860's best-in-class technology leads the industry for
software decoding, bringing a competitive edge against even the
best commercial scanners on the market. A key strength of the C860
is its ability to swiftly and accurately read damaged barcodes.
This, combined with its speed and proficiency in capturing barcodes
even in poor lighting conditions, sets the C860 apart from others
in the industry. The result is enhanced productivity and
efficiency, as users can now easily manage more complex daily
scanning needs.
The challenge for application developers is to service a wide
range of customers with various data capture requirements, from the
price-sensitive to the performance-sensitive, and even multiple
data types. CaptureSDK with SocketCam enables consistent data
capture performance across these diverse requirements. C820 and
C860 bring the data capture benefits of CaptureSDK to all end users
instead of only those who purchase a physical scanner. Integrating
CaptureSDK is entirely free for app developers, simplifying their
development process by providing a one-stop solution to all Socket
Mobile products (hardware and software) via a single, easily
maintainable integration.
To take advantage of its capabilities, .NET MAUI developers must ensure that their
applications use the latest version of CaptureSDK with SocketCam
enabled. From there, the flexibility extends to the app's end users
as they now have the power to leverage the C820 for free or easily
switch to the C860 if they choose. The decision is solely in the
end users' hands, keeping Socket Mobile's technology accessible to
all.
Discover how CaptureSDK with SocketCam can Simplify your
Development Cycle and enable smarter data management for your
users.
