Android Barcode Scanner Orientation

[dondragon2]

I am using expo-barcode-scanner in a bare react native application. It works fine on iOS but on Android I noticed that it only scans if I turn the phone horizontally. How can I make it scan from any orientation or even just from portrait?

I am using:
expo-barcode-scanner: ^9.0.0

Hi @dondragon2, thanks for the issue but without a repro I'm not sure what's going on. Could you provide one? If I use the example from the docs, I can scan barcodes in both portrait and landscape.

@byCedric below is the code that I am using.

Also I am using ZxingBarCodeScanner

import { BarCodeScanner } from 'expo-barcode-scanner';
import React from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import BarcodeMask from 'react-native-barcode-mask';

interface IProps {
  onScanned?: (payload: any) => void;
  allowedTypes?: string[] | number[];
}

const Scanner: React.FC<IProps> = ({ onScanned, allowedTypes }) => {
  return (
    <View style={{flex: 1}}>
      <BarCodeScanner
        onBarCodeScanned={onScanned}
        style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
        barCodeTypes={allowedTypes as string[]}
      >
        <BarcodeMask/>
      </BarCodeScanner>
    </View>
  );
};```

Im seeing the same issue on android, barcode will scan when holding the phone in portrait and the barcode is vertical.

However will not scan when phone is portrait and barcode horizontal

I also have this problem. In addition to scanning the QR code, the bar code of the mobile phone needs to be scanned vertically

had to switch to expo-camera because of this issue.
expo-camera also has built-in barcode scanner
