QRcode scanner on mobile apps

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to scan a qrcode on a mobile app?
The action “Open camera” doesn’t allow this.

Thanks

QR Scanning is not yet supported as of today on any of the Bubble Native elements. Maybe someone has or will build a plugin for it or bubble will release a native element for it.

We’re in the same boat here. The only method I’ve found so far is to set up the QR code scanner on a webpage and then use the Webview component within your native app. This works, but on iOS, it becomes buggy if you scan multiple QR codes too quickly.

If you discover a better workaround, please let me know!

Yep I did the same but I’d like something more professional.

Hi.
You could use the capture image feature. After that you could send the taken photo to a webservice to get the barcode’s code from that photo (e.g. chatgpt via api request).
maybe this could work. not tested yet.
Best,

Than you Jupixy, but in term of user experience that’s killing the feature. This is too long and every scan will be saved into the device which is not something we can do if the user scans a lot.. Thanks anyway.

Btw @devease - Does that plugin also always prompt you to ‘Allow’ camera access again after closing it? Have you found any workaround to prevent that? It’s pretty annoying tbh
