Phonegap cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan doesn't work on ipad

Question

As the title says, I have a problem using cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan.

It works with all the others devices I tested (iPhone, Android smartphones and Android tablets). With the iPad, there is a problem.

As you can see in the code below, I read a QR code and then send it to my API server.

In the server log I can see the value sent from the iPad is empty.

This is the code:

cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(
            function (result) {
                if (result.text == "") {
                    Notify("Aborted", "warning");
                    MyApp.app.navigate({ view: "Home" }, { root: true });
                    return;
                }
                vQR(result.text);

vQR is what I send to the server. It is empty from iPad, but correctly set from other devices.

This is my config:

</widget>

Are there any special settings I have to use for the iPad case?

Very very weird... reinstall the app solved the problem!
