Support matrix
Release-specific evaluation, preview, experimental, and unsupported platform status.
Support tiers
Every platform below carries one of six tiers. Start with the tier name, then read the platform sections for what it means for your device.
- CERTIFIED
- Validated on the named device/OS with Vision Scan acceptance evidence on file.
- SUPPORTED
- Supported and intended for production use; full validation evidence is being collected.
- EVALUATION
- Available as a signed tenant evaluation kit; not certified for general availability.
- PREVIEW
- Available for early evaluation; API and behaviour may change before general availability.
- EXPERIMENTAL
- Exploratory support under active development; not for production commitments.
- UNSUPPORTED
- Explicitly out of scope for the current product plan.
For the per-platform view — Android evaluation, Zebra evaluation, iOS/Linux preview, Cloud REST experimental — see the SDK catalog status table. Start with the Android quickstart or the Zebra quickstart — both target the evaluation-tier platforms above.
