Release Notes - CV: Switch to the Unbundled ML Kit

Changes

• Updated ML Kit text recognition dependency from 16.0.0 to 16.0.0-beta6
• Added ML Kit dependency metadata declaration in AndroidManifest.xml for OCR module support

Risks & Best Practices Considerations

• ⚠️ Beta Dependency Risk: Migrating to a beta version (16.0.0-beta6) of ML Kit may introduce instability or breaking changes in future updates. Consider planning for additional testing and potential future migration costs when this moves to a stable release.
• Unbundled ML Kit approach reduces APK size by allowing on-demand delivery, improving app performance
• Ensure the OCR meta-data declaration is correctly recognized by the Google Play system for proper dependency resolution

Recommendations

• Thoroughly test OCR functionality across various device configurations and Android API levels
• Monitor for official stable release of this ML Kit version and plan migration accordingly
• Verify that users without OCR dependency pre-installed can successfully request and install it through Google Play services

In `@cv-image-to-xml/build.gradle.kts`:
- Line 45: Replace the outdated dependency declaration
implementation("com.google.mlkit:text-recognition:16.0.0-beta6") with the
current stable ML Kit artifact or the Play Services-backed artifact: either
upgrade to implementation("com.google.mlkit:text-recognition:16.0.1") or, if you
require the Play services-backed model, replace it with
implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-text-recognition:19.0.1");
update the build.gradle.kts dependency entry accordingly and verify the project
