v7.4.0

7.4.0 (2026-07-19)

New features

• Added getBestCloseRangeScanningLens() to determine which camera lens is best suited for scanning barcodes at close range (e.g. the ultra-wide/macro lens on newer iPhones). Returns null if no camera is available for the requested facing direction.

Improvements

• Added an optional facing filter to getSupportedLenses, to restrict results to front or back cameras.

Bug Fixes

• [Android] Fixed getSupportedLenses reporting physical sub-cameras that CameraX can't actually select, which caused a crash when switching to one.
• [Android] Starting the scanner with an unavailable lensType now reports an error instead of silently falling back to the default camera.
