I have a problem with the Barcodereader command.
Even though the Preferfrontcamera function is set to False, on a Realme VI brand Android smartphone, when I open the app it shows me the front camera and I cannot change it.
Do you have any advice to give me?
Thanks in advance!

    Two things
    Are you setting the property preferfrontcamera for the barcodescanner control using a variable or is it just set to false?
    Is the phone configured to default to the front camera or back camera when the camera app is initiated?

    It is simply set to false.
    Your phone is set to the rear camera by default when the camera app launches.
    The strange thing is that on many other smartphones, including mine, it reads from the rear camera. I think it is a problem related to that brand of smartphone. In the meantime, I reactivated the old barcode reading function.
