PhoneGap Barcode Scanner Unresponsive on iOS


I have an few apps that are using the iOS barcode scanner plugin for PhoneGap. They have been working until about a two weeks ago, but they are not longer responsive after initializing. Has anybody else had this problem?

What is happening is that the scanner opens, but it will not read a QR or barcode. The view is unresponsive; you cannot cancel out of the view or have any way of getting back to the main application. The only way to exit the scanner is to hit the home button and manually kill the app.

I have built the apps with Xcode 6.2 and 6.3 and tested on iOS 8.2 and 8.3.

Is this a known issue? I cannot find any info.


Solution

  • The problem was solved by updating the plugin. There where a couple of changes in the past month that I was unaware of. The update was found here: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
