ORIGINAL: Eric So Apple has ubiquitously broken most 3rd party scanning libraries with the iPhone 14 Pro and Max. This impacts 10's of thousands of apps. Just Google, and you will find hundreds of support threads. Of course it works fine for the built-in Apple stuff. I hope I'm not telling you and Dan how to suck eggs here! :) I notice that the cellar tracker app uses the main 24mm camera to scan the barcodes on an Iphone 14 pro, which is always going to produce blurry images at anything but arm's length. The better camera for the job is the 13mm ultra-wide camera. I'm assuming you guys know this and that even though calling the builtInUltraWideCamera camera device type property should use the ultra-wide camera, it's not working and has some sort of bug you're waiting for a fix for. There is also the builtInTripleCamera device type property which in theory should just use the best camera for the job, depending on how far away from the camera array the wine bottle is. However, if you have really good light and hold the wine bottle about an arm's length away from the phone, you can usually snap a barcode assuming you've got a good quality label. The Dymo labels from the Labelwriter 450 are pretty sharp and do a good job given the less-appropriate camera, so it's not the end of the world.
