Power Apps Crash QR Barcode Scanner: Google Pixel 8 Pro

I helped create a Canvas App for my company and we have placed a QR/Barcode Scanner in the App. When I try to open the QR Scanner from within the App, Power Apps crashes instantly. I believe that on occasion there is an error but, it moves to quickly from the screen to extract.
I've attempted:

Checking Camera Permissions for Power Apps on my Android for the Camera and they are set to "Allow when using the App"
Verified I was on the most current build of Power Apps
Went through the documentation from Microsoft on the reader
Uninstalled and re-installed Power Apps
Tested other phones including a Pixel 7a and Iphone 13 with no issues at all

This does seem to be localized to this phone and model at the moment but was hoping for some direction to check other avenues.

Greetings and i hope you are doing well
I wanted to share a quick update from the Product Group team. During the validation phase, we identified a crash affecting iPhones. This needs to be addressed before the fix can be merged into the main build. The team is currently investigating the issue, and this may require some additional time.

We truly understand the urgency and we appreciate your continued patience. Please rest assured that the team is prioritizing this and working to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Just received from support! The end is near!

Greetings of the day!
I wanted to provide you with an update from the Product Group team. The fix requires integration and validation on both iOS and Android platforms, along with comprehensive feature testing, as it impacts multiple areas. This process will take a couple of weeks, followed by the release cycle, which will also take additional time.

As of now, we anticipate the deployment to be completed by the end of April or early May. However, we are doing our best to expedite the process as much as possible.

I appreciate your patience and will keep you informed of any further updates

Amazing news! I just received it today as well but, have struggled to get around my intune policies to test it. You rock for sharing that APK!

It's good to finally have some great news!

Hopefully others will share the results here from testing the APK you linked!

Thanks for submitting another ticket. Hopefully gains attention. I would expect that response honestly. The only reason I haven't updated the thread in awhile is because they email me every week with nearly the same response:

Hello Team

Greetings!

I hope you are doing well.

I wanted to provide you with a quick update regarding the issue. We are actively following up with the Product Group (PG) team and are currently awaiting a significant update from them.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Rest assured; we will keep you informed promptly as soon as we receive any further information

I honestly don't care how the baby is made at this point. I just want to see it born already.

If the greater good would like me to post these replies from the team, I will. Just tap like on this comment and I will be aware to do so.

I submitted a new ticket to the power platform support team and this is the answer:

Our team has identified that this issue is related to default configurations in Pixel 8 and 9 devices, which interfere with the native camera and barcode scanner functionality, causing the app to crash. Please note that this is a known issue, and a work item has already been raised internally. The engineering team is actively investigating and working on a fix to ensure a seamless experience.

At this stage, multiple internal reviews and reports are being conducted, and while we are prioritizing a resolution, we do not have an exact ETA for the fix yet. We understand the impact this may have on your workflow and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing.

Indeed problem happens on Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro.

I've tested with a broad range of devices and these are the only two models for which the Power Apps application craches.

Hope there will be a fix soon
