i'm trying to read a code bar with a length of 50 characters. Unfortunately, I'm not able to do that.
I changed more than one plugin with the same results (@red-mobile/cordova-plugin-barcodescanner, https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-qr-barcode-scanner-sdk33?activeTab=readme). I set the option "formats": "QR_CODE, CODE_128". Doesn't work. If I set "formats" to default, the plugin read the codebar as UPC_E: it's wrong. If I set the format correctly (I know for sure that's CODE_128), the scanner doesn't recognize the code bar. What could I do?
I'm using ionic cordova (10.0.0 (cordova-lib@10.1.0)), cordova-android@11, node 14.16.0
I have come across several issues pertaining to any barcode plugins that can be an issue:
usually you need to place the phone in different positions and angles to hopefully scan the barcode, which is not an ideal case.
Now I use: @capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning. It offers a way better experience than other barcode plugins and it works! Author provides example project as well!
