Hello,

I’m trying to implement the barcode scanner but it isn’t working. I looked at another post on this topic that suggested I publishing and re-publishing the app, so I tried that, but it still doesn’t work. In another post it said you need a pro subscription and that it only works in glide apps, so I upgraded to pro and made sure to only test in my glide app.

When I say not working, I don’t mean it’s slow — that’s fine for my use case actually. It is recognizing the barcode just fine (the line turns green), but then nothing gets written the the selected column.

Could anyone help me get this working? Thank you.

Paul
