Project Setup

Follow the steps below to set up your Flutter project on Android and iOS.

Android

Minimum Version Configuration

Ensure you meet the minimum version requirements to run the application on Android devices. In the android/app/build.gradle file, verify that minSdkVersion is at least 21:

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 21
        ...
    }
    ...
}

IOS

Minimum Version Configuration

Ensure you meet the minimum version requirements to run the application on iOS devices. In the ios/Podfile file, make sure the iOS platform version is at least 13.0:

platform :ios, '13.0'

Permission Configuration

1. Add a String property to the app's Info.plist file with the key NSCameraUsageDescription and the value as the description for why your app needs camera access.

2. The permission_handler dependency used by cunning_document_scanner use macros to control whether a permission is enabled. Add the following to your Podfile file:

   post_install do |installer|
     installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
       ... # Here are some configurations automatically generated by flutter
   
       # Start of the permission_handler configuration
       target.build_configurations.each do |config|
   
         # You can enable the permissions needed here. For example to enable camera
         # permission, just remove the `#` character in front so it looks like this:
         #
         # ## dart: PermissionGroup.camera
         # 'PERMISSION_CAMERA=1'
         #
         #  Preprocessor definitions can be found at: https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter-permission-handler/blob/master/permission_handler_apple/ios/Classes/PermissionHandlerEnums.h
         config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= [
           '$(inherited)',
   
           ## dart: PermissionGroup.camera
           'PERMISSION_CAMERA=1',
         ]
   
       end
       # End of the permission_handler configuration
     end
   end
   

How to use ?

The easiest way to get a list of images is:

    final imagesPath = await CunningDocumentScanner.getPictures()

Android Specific

There are some features in Android that allow you to adjust the scanner that will be ignored in iOS:

    final imagesPath = await CunningDocumentScanner.getPictures(
      noOfPages: 1, // Limit the number of pages to 1
      isGalleryImportAllowed, // Allow the user to also pick an image from his gallery
   )
