The BarcodeScanner plugin in ngCordova doesnt work in Android 6

Question

I'm developing in Ionic Framework.The barcodeScanner plugin(ngCordova) doesn't work for the newest version of Android. I suspect the plugin is not updated for this version. Any of you have found a solution? Thanks.

Answer 1

Same error happened to me. A guy on Github forked the plug-in and fixed it, take a look here.

basically, remove the barcode scanner plugin you have right now and add the new one like this:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/jrontend/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner

It works exactly the same way.

Samuel Paredes, There is many change in Android 6(M) , the main is runtime permissions, so we need the camera for the barcode scanner , but the plugin is not yet updated for that so we need to On the Camera permisson for the application manuully.

Setting >> APP manager >> Your App >> Permissions >>Camera >> 

Please enable the camera permission from there. Hope it will help you
