Error: Code scanner module is not supported on current Google Play Services version, please upgrade
I have 1.3.30 installed on an LG L322DL running Android 10 and when I try to scan a QR code, I get the error message:
"Code scanner module is not supported on current Google Play Services version, please upgrade"
I clicked the Report Bug button at 10:13pm PT.
Reproduced on another device, clicked Report Bug on that device at 10:40pm PT.
QR scanner doesn't work at all on phones without google play services (even with microg), maybe its worth swapping to a different QR scanning library.
EDIT: open-source QR scanner libraries were harder to come by than I expected. The only decently sized project I found was https://github.com/journeyapps/zxing-android-embedded. It would be easier to leave as is and for people without google play services do like other open-source apps such as f-droid do: have URL handler intent allowing another QR scanner (e.g. https://github.com/SecUSo/privacy-friendly-qr-scanner) to open URL in the app.
@mc-hamster thanks for the report. fix is incoming.
@Douile thanks for mentioning aosp/microg. the app already uses zxing and handles channel url intents. play services code scanner is only meant for play store installs, so that needs fixing.
Oh mb i should have read the code instead of assuming. Sorry for off topic but is there a build flag or something i need to turn on to use zxing instead of play services?
