# isSupported

A Boolean value that indicates whether the device supports data
scanning.

```
@MainActor class var isSupported: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

For this property to be
`true`, the device
must have the A12 Bionic chip or later. This property is `false` for apps running in visionOS.

> Important: If your app requires data scanning for its core functionality,
> you can make your app available only on devices that support data scanning.
> Add the
> <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities>
> key to your app’s information property list and include the
> `iphone-ipad-minimum-performance-a12` subkey in the array of device
> capabilities.
