The typo in string
qr_code_no_suitable_qr_code_body
has been corrected in release/2.12.x to read “The QR code cannot be scanned by the Corona-Warn-App. Please select a file with a suitable QR code.”This text is however likely to be replaced through issue https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-android/issues/4156 “Reference to file in QR scan from camera error message”.
