private async Task SingleScanning()
{
    try
    {
        var result = await ScanbotBarcodeSDK.BarcodeScanner.OpenBarcodeScannerAsync(new BarcodeScannerConfiguration
{
            RecognizerConfiguration = new BarcodeRecognizerConfiguration
            {
                BarcodeFormats = BarcodeTypes.Instance.AcceptedTypes,
                Gs1Handling = Gs1Handling.Decode
            },
            UseCase = new SingleScanningMode()
            {
                ConfirmationSheetEnabled = true
            }
        });
 
        // Comment out the above and use the below to try some of our snippets instead:
        // var result = await ScanbotBarcodeSDK.BarcodeScanner.OpenBarcodeScannerAsync(Snippets.SingleScanningUseCase);
        // Or Snippets.MultipleScanningUseCase, Snippets.FindAndPickUseCase, Snippets.ActionBar, etc.
 
        var barcodeAsText = result.Items.Select(barcode => $"{barcode.Type}: {barcode.Text}")
                                         .FirstOrDefault() ?? string.Empty;
 
        await DisplayAlert("Found barcode", barcodeAsText, "Finish");
    }
    catch (TaskCanceledException)
    {
        // for when the user cancels the action
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        // for any other errors that occur
