Basically, in my case, I have a PDF417 1-dimensional barcode which supposedly cannot be easily detected anywhere on the digital image. Only the center of the screen can be used to properly scan this kind of barcode.

As a solution, I will simply try to add a visual mask to suggest the user to use the center of the screen for scanning the barcode. You can use a library like react-native-barcode-mask or code your own using the layout suggested here:
