**My App/Pages support link:**

- [Glide](https://go.glideapps.com/support/4ab718d9-5e75-49e8-a130-62fefa5b3c45)

**Describe the bug:**

- I am using a barcode scanner in my app that I published on the iOS App Store. The glide url is embedded inside of Swift code and in the app setting I request camera permissions from the user. However, whenever downloading the app from the app store the scanner stays blank. I enable camera access and glide requests camera access as well but still nothing. Taking pictures works but the scanner component does not.

**Expected behavior:**

- Scanner loads

**How to replicate:**

- Open app on iOS

**Link to demo recording (optional):**

- App download: Search Pear Scan

Does it work on the “normal” version of Glide, when you access the Glide link through the browser?

Since Glide doesn’t officially support apps uploaded to stores, I doubt you would get support on this.

Shucks, I appreciate your help here. If you know of any developers or way to get this fixed it would be greatly appreciated. I have 30 users on the app and this is the main functionality of the app and it doesn’t work 😬
