Steps to reproduce the behavior

4. Code is never read and search is never triggered

Expected behavior

App should detect the barcode after a short time and trigger a search

Smartphone model

• Device: Sony Xperia 10 IV
• OS: Android 12 (unmodified)
• App Version: 3.8.1+722 from Google Play

Additional context

On my phone, the app does not crash, and the camera keeps working.

I tried to find any obvious issues via adb logcat, the log it generates is getting huge quick. I coulnd't see any obvious issues, like stack traces. The log consists mainly of the following messages in a loop (I'm not sure if this is just device specific camera debug output).

If needed, I can send the full 3MB adb log to one of you developers (maybe on Slack), I don't want to post it here publicly.

Hello @chk1 and thanks for your report. Since the release of the new app (the Flutter's one), did the scan ever work on your device or never?

Also, could you try this APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F6S0pGpf8OQHhqKSw1opWQPRxpcmYdDV/view?usp=sharing (app name: ML Kit in Flutter) and go to Barcode Scanning (first item) and tell me if you're able to scan barcodes.

Thanks

I have only tried this version (3.8.1+722) of the new Flutter app. First installed yesterday and never got scanning to work.

(I do have two other phones where it works, so I can compare how the app is supposed to work I guess. Redmi 4X on custom ROMs Android 9 and 11)

Also, could you try this APK

I tested it and it doesn't detect barcodes in the camera view. I've seen green texts and lines flash up and quickly disappear (within a few milliseconds), but that looked like mis-identification, like it detected a non-existing barcode on my table or computer keyboard instead of on the product.

But it does detect codes when I pick a photo from gallery.

Thanks a lot for your report @chk1. A new "alternative" mode will be released soon and should fix your issue.

[g123k]

It's now implemented @chk1. Please follow the PR #2953

[chk1]

I just updated to 3.17.0, I can confirm that the alternative scan mode works now. Thank you!

Cool, closing the issue
