Barcode scanning accuracy degradation compared to Xamarin ZXing.Net.Mobile.Forms

[eeadie]

Hi,

I’ve found the barcode scanning accuracy (for example, EAN‑13) to be significantly poorer with this package compared to the Xamarin equivalent, ZXing.Net.Mobile.Forms.

MAUI camera options

 cameraBarcodeReaderView.Options = new BarcodeReaderOptions
 {
     TryHarder = true,
     TryInverted = false,
     AutoRotate = true,
     Multiple = true
 };

Xamarin camera options

scanView.Options.DelayBetweenAnalyzingFrames = 5;
scanView.Options.DelayBetweenContinuousScans = 2000;
scanView.Options.InitialDelayBeforeAnalyzingFrames = 300;
scanView.Options.TryHarder = false;
scanView.Options.TryInverted = false;
scanView.Options.AutoRotate = false;
scanView.Options.UseFrontCameraIfAvailable = false;

When the TryHarder option is set to false in the MAUI configuration, no barcodes are scanned at all. This differs from the behaviour of the previous Xamarin package, where scanning continued to function with TryHarder disabled.

@eeadie just to be sure: are you using the latest version of the library? :)

@jfversluis using v0.6.0

There is a newer version, so you might want to try that first
