ABBYY Mobile Capture Cordova Plugin

ABBYY Mobile Capture Cordova Plugin allows to use the Text Capture, Data Capture and Image Capture features of ABBYY Mobile Capture in apps based on the Apache Cordova framework.

This plugin requires the ABBYY Mobile Capture native libraries which are available for Android and iOS. You can request ABBYY Mobile Capture trial version on the ABBYY website.

The native libraries support the following systems:

• Android version: 5.0 or later for ARMv7 (armeabi-v7a) and ARMv8 (arm64-v8a) processors
• iOS: versions 11.x and later

Getting started

1. Add the plugin to your project.

   cd MyProject
   cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-abbyy-rtr-sdk

2. Request ABBYY Mobile Capture trial version on the ABBYY website and add it to your project:
   • Create the www/rtr_assets subdirectory in the project.
   • Copy Mobile Capture SDK assets and license file (MobileCapture.License) to www/rtr_assets.
   • Copy Android libraries (abbyy-rtr-sdk-1.0.aar and abbyy-ui-1.0.aar) to libs/android.
   • Copy iOS frameworks (AbbyyRtrSDK.framework and other modules) to libs/ios.
   • The libs/android and libs/ios paths should be added to the linker search paths. This step is performed automatically during the plugin installation.
3. To build and run your project:
   • Android:

     cordova build android
     cordova run android

   • iOS (don't forget to specify your Development Team):

     cordova build ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0" --buildFlag="DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=<YOUR_TEAM>"
     cordova run ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0" --buildFlag="DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=<YOUR_TEAM>"

How to run this app

   • Copy the Android library (abbyy-rtr-sdk-1.0.aar) to libs/android.
   • Copy iOS frameworks (AbbyyRtrSDK.framework and other modules) to libs/ios. These paths already exist in the example project.
   • The libs/android and libs/ios paths should be added to the linker search paths. This step is performed automatically during the plugin installation.
6. Connect a device via USB, build and run.
   • Android:

     cordova build android
     cordova run android

   • iOS (don't forget to specify your Development Team):

     cordova build ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0" --buildFlag="DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=<YOUR_TEAM>"
