Dear community,

I have an application that features the Barcode scanner. I scan a barcode into a table column for later use. What happens sometimes is that the middle line during the scanning process turns green and the App jumps back to the screen (from the camera), but the field that should contain the scanned value is still empty.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Cheers,  
Johannes

I have had the same issue and I think glide is working on optimizing the scanner.
