Old Pen SDK - any alternatives or plans to get it back in work?

[di8]

Hi. I know Pen SDK (former SPen SDK) is dead for a long-long time, but I still have an app in the market which uses that SDK, so could you please help to clarify the below:

1. Does Samsung provide or suggest any alternative to Pen SDK?
2. Why was that SDK decommissioned? Are there any plans to release something similar?
3. Is there an archive with the old Pen SDK versions available?

Thanks

Hello,
I hope the following might help you.

1. Does Samsung provide or suggest any alternative to Pen SDK?
   => I think you can use Android common APIs/ SDKs for stylus handwriting. You can check out the following links:

• GitHub - selvypen/handwriting-recognition-example-android: This example app shows how to recognize handwritten text using the Selvy Pen SDK for Text on Android.
• GitHub - NeoSmartpen/Android-SDK2.0: Neo smartpen SDK2.0 for Android Platform

2. Why was that SDK decommissioned? Are there any plans to release something similar?
   => Samsung has released another SDK named S Pen Remote SDK. But this is not similar as the old one.

3. Is there an archive with the old Pen SDK versions available?
   => As far as I know there is no official documentation for that SDK as it is deprecated.
