Include open source QR reader
We want to add an open source de-googled QR reader. Recently we added:
- https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-qrcode-scanner
but turns out this library uses
react-native-camerawhich uses Google services https://github.com/KoalaSat/nostros/actions/runs/4531654828/jobs/7982068043
It can be tested by doing these changes:
- https://github.com/KoalaSat/nostros/pull/467/files#diff-8bb5616fd0c64509171fba4255b434c0b5bdcb63af15074801a087b21c268047
- https://github.com/KoalaSat/nostros/pull/467/files#diff-1ec9483ede6f8f430214f827b8a59687304223c1c8f8ce32d1dc4ddf986779ab
Any other well maintained QR reader library is a good option as far it's FOSS and de-googled. It looks like the app Conversations (XMPP) makes use of a valid QR reader library.

Maybe create a plugin for react-native-camera using zxing or https://github.com/LazarSoft/jsqrcode should be a de-googled package right?!
Done @MauroJr ! We have a FOSS validator that is run on every build. Make sure you run it before working on the details to validate the library of your choice is fully FOSS 🙂

Hi @b4s36t4 , sorry but usually we assign bounties to only one person, if you are interested, you can also check this one, wich is pretty much similar https://github.com/KoalaSat/nostros/issues/465
@KoalaSat Thank you for assigning it to me. I hope can help.
I'm working on it outside of my working hours which is GMT -5.
I already made a good part of it and I should have a PR Tomorrow before I finish my day, very late in the evening.
After I push it, I'll be happy to get feedback and discuss the implementation.
