Scanning QR Code with a regular camera app takes user to a dead end

Open cvarjao opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

After scanning a QR Code using the built-in camera app, the user has an option to open the URL, and they are instructed to use a digital wallet. Can we convert that URL to a bcwallet:// or didcomm:// protocol and let the user tap to open wallet?

Are iOS/Android able to handle the handler with a registered application? I thought it was not supported... And what would happen if the user does NOT have a wallet installed?

TBD. Just a suggestion. Kim can work on the details on how we can guide users. Something like "I have a wallet ... Click here to open" ... "I don't have a wallet, click here to install". Future improvement

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

Recapping the conversations happening in #572:

  • When scanning the QR code with the phone camera app, the user will be taken to BC Wallet - if they have it installed.
  • If BC Wallet is not installed, the user will be taken to this page from @knguyenBC's mockup.
  • There will be no button to open BC Wallet in the "no wallet" page, since the user will be installing the app and have another window open on a separate device with the QR coed to be scanned.
