Scanning QR Codes does not work

[dimeom]

Hi there.

I have been trying to scan a qrcode on xamarin forms for ios but it has not worked yet :(

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022, Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac SDK 15.12.0.2 and the latest version of ZXing.Net.Mobile (even the 2.3.1 and 2.2.9)

When I try to scan a qrcode, the camera opens and ask for permissions. After allowing it, the camera just stays open trying to scan the code, but nothings happens.

This is how I am trying:

        var lOptions = new ZXing.Mobile.MobileBarcodeScanningOptions();
        lOptions.PossibleFormats = new List<ZXing.BarcodeFormat>() {
            ZXing.BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE
            };
        lOptions.TryHarder = true;
        lOptions.CharacterSet = "utf-8";


        lOptions.AutoRotate = true;
        lOptions.TryInverted = true;
        lOptions.UseNativeScanning = true;

        var lScanner = new ZXing.Mobile.MobileBarcodeScanner();
        await Task.Delay(500);
        var lResult = await lScanner.Scan();

and I initialize Zxing on the FinishLaunching().. in the AppDelegate.cs from the iOS project like this -> ZXing.Net.Mobile.Forms.iOS.Platform.Init();

I have also added the camera permissions to the info.plist
NSCameraUsageDescription
Please allow access to the camera to scan QR codes.

As a last try, I have also tried the ZXing.Net nuget, but that does not work either.

what am I doing wrong?

Could you please help me out?

Thanks in advance,

Antonio
