Barcode Scanner Bug

[originalltd]

Good day PowerAppers!

The Barcode Scanner input does not work correctly in the following environment:

Surface Go 3 (2021)

Windows 11 Pro

PowerApps 3.22073.8.0 - Newest PowerApp from the Windows Store.

When you press the Barcode Scanner Input, it randomly picks a camera (front or rear) and there is no option to select a camera.

"PreferFrontCamera" is ignored in the PowerApp.

This is bothersome if I need to scan with the rear camera.

Thanks!

• The barcode scanner doesn’t support BarcodeType, PreferFrontCamera, and FlashlightEnabled properties. For more information, see Barcode scanner control in Power Apps - Power Apps. The barcode scanner does support symbologies.
