Barcode Reader - Camera Black Screen / Can't Scan Anything in iPad

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Issue: On iPad, when clicked on Barcode Reader button, it launches the preview screen but with no camera view at all, it's totally black screen. The app can't scan anything too, I pointed the camera towards any barcode, it didn't register any scan.

Additional Info:

- For this specific iPad, it used to be working fine (same app, can see camera preview, can scan and detect barcodes). Out of sudden, 1 day it decided to not show the camera preview at all.

- For this specific iPad, the camera is working fine with the native default iOS camera app.

- I have 7 other iPhones which use the same app and have no issue with the camera, they all can scan and detect barcode perfectly.

- App ID: 6ce226b4-d8bc-4cda-8823-9c056fe773fa

Tried the following but didn't work:

- Clear cache from Power Apps

- Uninstall and reinstall Power Apps

- Restart iPad

- Disable camera permission, re-enable camera permission

- Made a minor UI update to trigger app update

    The solution to fix this "barcode reader black screen" is to 

    - Switch the display mode to "Default" under "Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Display" and

    - Reset the Font setting to default (middle position) under Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Display -> Text Size
