Whether you're targeting Android, iOS, or both, the barKoder SDK for NativeScript offers a robust and efficient solution for embedding enterprise-grade barcode scanning into your apps.

How NativeScript works

NativeScript enables developers to build truly native mobile applications for Android and iOS using JavaScript, TypeScript, or frameworks like Angular and Vue.js. It provides direct access to native APIs without needing wrappers, allowing full control over platform-specific functionality while maintaining a shared codebase for cross-platform development.

NativeScript provides a powerful framework for building native Android and iOS applications using web technologies like JavaScript, TypeScript, and popular frameworks such as Angular and Vue.js. It grants direct access to native platform APIs, eliminating the need for WebViews and enabling performance and functionality equivalent to fully native apps.

Applications built with NativeScript run within a lightweight JavaScript virtual machine embedded in a native app shell, which bridges JavaScript code to the native runtime. This architecture allows developers to share code across platforms while maintaining native performance and look-and-feel. The following diagram illustrates a high-level overview of a NativeScript app’s architecture.

Supported platforms

NativeScript apps for Android and iOS can be developed using JavaScript, TypeScript, or frameworks like Angular and Vue.js. Android development is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux, but building and deploying iOS apps requires a macOS system with Xcode installed.

  • Android 5.0 (API 21) or higher is required
  • iOS 11 or higher is required
  • macOS with Xcode is required to build and deploy iOS apps
  • Windows 10 version 1809 or higher, or Windows 11, is supported for Android development
