| class | Image Capture | MBS AVFoundation Plugin | 14.3 | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ❌ No | ❌ No | Desktop only |
ImageCaptureCore defines two concrete subclasses of ICDeviceMBS, ICCameraDeviceMBS and ICScannerDeviceMBS. ICDeviceBrowserMBS creates instances of these two subclasses to represent cameras and scanners it finds.
This is an abstract class. You can't create an instance, but you can get one from various plugin functions.
