Installation and permissions

Installation

The fastest way to arrive at a working setup is to try out our example apps on GitHub: https://github.com/mxlaboratories/shenai-sdk (opens in a new tab)

To add the SDK to an existing app, see documentation for the relevant platform:

See Flutter for installation instructions.

Permissions

To utilize the SDK, your app will need to have the Network and Camera permissions.

Add the following lines to your AndroidManifest.xml.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

You can use permission_handler (opens in a new tab) plugin to request the permissions:

import 'package:permission_handler/permission_handler.dart';
 
...
 
Permission.camera.request().then((permission) async {
    if (permission == PermissionStatus.granted || permission == PermissionStatus.limited) {
        // Proceed with SDK initialization
    }
});
