the new barcode scanner for iOS behaves not satisfying. It takes about 10 seconds to recognize a simple qr code. On Android it is extremly faster.

I enclosed a video which shows how the iOS Barcode-reader sample is used to scan a simple QR code which containing: "Thank you for using Crosslight BarcodeScanner" string.

Common problems that may occur when using Barcode reader are:

• Camera fails to focus, making scanning hard or impossible.
• High-density QR code may take longer during scan.

When I am in the scan mode, how can I cancel and go back to the view I started. Right now, I can only close and restart the app which is not very user friendly.

In the scan mode, there are two buttons on the upper-left and upper-right corner. They are: Flash button and Cancel button. In the last part of attached video (after QR code scan demo), shows the cancel button is being pressed.

Hope this helps.

Hello Yudi,

I tested the Barcode Scanner Sample on a device with iOS 7. There is no cancel and no flash icon visible. Clicking on the area where the icons should be, the flash is activated or the scan view is cancelled.

Please, check out yourself. It seems it is once more a iOS 7 specific problem. I know it is not the lastest iOS version, but there are still a lot of people who use it and it would be nice if Crosslight was tested against it and not only iOS 8.

Thanks,

Thomas

... looking at that video, are you using a 3rd party to show the screen of a physical device? If so, are you able to control the screen from Mac or you were controlling the device itself?

I use Reflector 2 on Mac. It allows me to mirror the content of my physical device, iPhone 4s running iOS 8.4.1. Everything we do on our device can be wirelessly sent to Reflector.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the report. I will investigate this and let you know the result as soon as possible.
