startScan() doesn't open native camera
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug I installed this plugin on Ionic 5 Angular iOS project. Whenever I run startScan method, it doesn’t trigger native camera and no error message. The only thing I can see in log is this
⚡️ To Native -> BarcodeScanner hideBackground 7747052
⚡️ To Native -> BarcodeScanner startScan 7747053
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
-
Follow install plugin instruction at readme
-
Import Plugins
import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
-
Put prepare on ionViewWillEnter()
-
Create wrapper function to call startScan method.
async openBarcodeScanner() {
const { BarcodeScanner } = Plugins;
BarcodeScanner.hideBackground();
try {
const barcodeData = await BarcodeScanner.startScan()
console.log('Barcode data', barcodeData);
if(barcodeData.hasContent) {
this.checkBarcode(barcodeData.content);
}
} catch (err) {
console.log('Scan barcode error', err);
}
}
- Edit info.plist, set camera usage description
- Ionic build, sync, then open ios
Expected behavior When startScan method get called, screen should immediately navigate to native camera.

I am delighted to announce that I just released a version with permission utils added.
You can install it by running:
Documentation can be found here: https://github.com/DutchConcepts/capacitor-barcode-scanner/tree/main#permissions
I am inviting you guys to test it out and share some feedback
Hm, I see now. Hold on tight as I will release a solution for this in a couple of days. In the meantime you could request permission with this plugin for example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/capacitor-plugin-permissions
