Toolkit

So… you’ve got a great idea for a barcode-based application on the iPhone.

…you could wait around until everyone’s iPhone has autofocus, and then you could use a run-of-the-mill barcode reading technology. Or you could just use the RedLaser Component Toolkit.

The RedLaser Component Toolkit supports iPhone OS 3.1 and higher, and will work on the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, and any future devices that have a camera and support iPhone OS 3.1 and higher. The Component will be updated frequently to improve speed, format coverage, and accuracy. Integrating with your application is quick and easy. In about ten minutes, you’ll be up and running.

UPDATE: 11/24/2009 The Component Toolkit with realtime scanning is available for integration.

1. Download the Component Toolkit (Free)  Last updated: 11/8/2009

This includes the scanning control that you can customize according to your application. You just need to keep the discrete Occipital logo somewhere on the scan screen.

2. Purchase a Developer Account ($50) 

This allows you to access the scanning service and get basic support as you develop your application.
IMPORTANT:  This does NOT constitute a license to launch an application with RedLaser on the app store.

3. Build and launch your application on the App Store ( See License Pricing for details. )

Each month after launch, you will be responsible for a fee per unique user that installs your app. For accounting purposes, we will need you to share your sales reports with us. This information will be kept confidential.

IMPORTANT:  Any Application using RedLaser also includes a small fraction of open source software licensed under Apache 2.0. Please see Attribution for details
IMPORTANT:  Almost any application can use RedLaser, but some exceptions apply. Please contact info@occipital.com to confirm whether your application will fit this criteria.
IMPORTANT:  The downloadable Component Toolkit is for development purposes only and cannot be submitted to the App Store. Please purchase a developer license and contact us via email. We will provide you with a new Component Toolkit binary at that time that can be submitted. As always, App Store approval is subject to Apple's review and decision.
