[iOS] Impossible to focus and scan the QR code due to picking the wide back camera

[daniloapr]

The mobile_scanner is picking the wide back camera (0.5x zoom) instead of the standard one (1.0x) in some iOS devices, and that makes it impossible to read small QR codes as the camera looses focus.

Is it possible to use the 1.0x camera as default or somehow allowing us to pick other available back cameras?

We have tested in the following devices:

• iPhone 11: wide camera, could not scan
• iPhone 11 Pro: wide camera, could not scan
• iPhone 12: regular camera, could scan
• Samsung S10: regular camera, could scan.

@juliansteenbakker Would you be willing to accept new PRs? I would appreciate if you could guide on how make this fix.

Same problem on iPhone 13!

Is there any progress being made on this? Is it possible to replace the enum CameraFacing (front, back) with a method that detects all installed cameras on a device and lets us set the one we want to use? I've seen this in other camera/barcode packages, on a different platform though (Net MAUI).

I am facing the same issues!

I'm also having the same issue, but it also occurs on web in any Galaxy S

I'm closing this as there is no activity, and newer versions of this plug are already released. If this still happens with the latest version let me know by commenting.
