[Alexander_F_]

Hey I need help ASAP, the device ready is event is fired on Android but not on IOS devices and when I call scanQR function works on Android but do not scan nothing, and in IOS even do not show the scan, these issues are in App Preview and Native App but in Emulator works fine, thank you in advance.

here is my code

function onDeviceReady()

{
    //get a unique device_id
    device_id = intel.xdk.device.uuid;
    //device_id = '3B4FE075-6365-44BB-9E20-3B67887B26D4';
    //intel.xdk.notification.alert(device_id);

    //lock orientation
    intel.xdk.device.setRotateOrientation("any");
    intel.xdk.device.setAutoRotate(true);
        
    //manage power
    intel.xdk.device.managePower(true,false);

    //hide splash screen
    intel.xdk.device.hideSplashScreen(); 
    
    alert('Device is Ready');
}
document.addEventListener("intel.xdk.device.ready",onDeviceReady,false); 

//Scan QRCode
function scanQR()
{
    try {
        intel.xdk.device.scanBarcode();
    }
        catch (err) {
        alert(err.message); //This throw "Cannot read property 'scanBarcode' of undefined"
    }
}

document.addEventListener("intel.xdk.device.barcode.scan", function (evt) {
    beepOnce();
    if (evt.type == "intel.xdk.device.barcode.scan") {
        if (evt.success == true) {
            var url = evt.codedata;
            if(url.indexOf('http') != -1 || url.indexOf('www') != -1){
                if(url.indexOf('biipit') != -1){
                    //get biipit data by alias
                    aurl = url.split('/'); //alert(aurl[3]);
                    //add to history
                    get_user_by_alias(aurl[3]); 
                }else{
                    window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=yes');
                }
            }else{
                var n = noty({text:'Invalid QR Code', type:'error'});
                scanQR();
            }
        }
    }
}, false);

Can you post complete html code, not just JS?

The current QRcode in iOS app preview has a bug, you get black screen instead of camera view, but the QR code scanner will work. Fix will be coming soon. Can build for iOS and test for now?

[Alexander_F_]

Here is my code, by the way think the App Preview for IOS has many problems, because now said that can not download my app from the cloud and I pushed the files already.

[Alexander_F_]

When I click on Scan button on Android I get this screen but on IOS nothing, I do not understand why said intel is not defined if I make reference to intelxdk.js in my html file like

<script src='intelxdk.js'></script>

thank you.

Hey any update with this?

[Rakshith_K_Intel]

The QRcode in current iOS app preview has a bug, you get black screen instead of camera view, but the QR code scanner will work. Fix will be coming soon. Can u build iOS app and test for now?

[Alexander_F_]

I understand that, no I can not build an IOS app, but I build an Android App, and when I click on Scan I get intel is not defined, see screen shot

thank you.

[Rakshith_K_Intel]

check the "device" plugin for intelxdk, it will work, your code worked for me in android build

also u dont need intelxdk.js script tag, remove it, u just need to have cordova.js script tag, 

[Alexander_F_]

I am confused you create Android build or Cordova Android build, by the way I have the plugging device checked on Intel XDK session, is that correct?

[Rakshith_K_Intel]

I created Cordova android build

[Alexander_F_]

Ok but the scan works or said Intel is not defined

Thank you

[Rakshith_K_Intel]

scan works, i just took your index.html attached by you, changed intelxdk.js to cordova.js, checked "device" under intelxdk plugins, built cordova android build

[Alexander_F_]

Perfect, thank you... can you tell me how fix the problem with the App Preview on IOS... now said that can't download the app from the cloud and I clicked on Push and Upload my Project.. I tested on Android and works but only on Android 4.x

Thank You

[Alexander_F_]

Bro I am sorry to bother you but see screen shoots please, really I am very upset with this situation and now can not test my app on IOS device because said that can not download the app from the cloud, please let me know if you can connect to my computer to help me, thank you.

[Alexander_F_]

Come on man is impossible I do the same steps that you said and always get intel is not defined... see the latest screen shots..

thank you.

@Alexander, see my notes in your other post: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/545089#comment-1819957

Fellas, I will advise you to use Cordova plugin.

[Alexander_F_]

Yes I was playing with but always get cordova require is not a function, but I am sure that the problem is with Intel XDK for OSX that do not include the Intelxdk.js and device pluging even checked on project settings and they don't fix this problem at the moment.
