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?

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.

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.

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,

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?

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.
