Barcode scan working in macOS 10.14?

Targets macOS
1

I have a user who reports that using the barcode scan works in Monterey 12.7 but not in Mojave 10.14.6. It fails before being asked for permission to use the camera, with this error:

System: macOS 10.14.6
Error message: error
Trace:
RuntimeRaiseException
_Barcode._BarcodeStartScan%%o<_Barcode>
Barcode.StartScan%%o

The ScanFailed event never fired.

Unfortunately, I can’t test in 10.14. Can anyone tell me if they have successfully used the barcode scan object in Mojave?

Hi @Jonathan_Ashwell

Looks like the documentation is missing this snippet:

On Desktop / macOS, the StartScan method is only supported on macOS 10.15+ for those Mac models with a built-in camera or with a compatible external camera connected to it.

Thanks for the information, Javier.
