QR Code Scanner Mobile

Overview

Add a native QR code scanner to your Bubble Mobile app using the device camera.
Start and stop the camera from workflows, switch between front and back camera, toggle torch and capture the scanned QR value in real time.
Publish permission, running status, camera type, scanned value and last scan time directly to Bubble states.
Perfect for check-ins, tickets, inventory, access control, payments, authentication flows and mobile QR experiences.


Actual Problem

QR scanning in mobile apps needs camera permissions, scanner lifecycle control, scan events, camera switching, torch support and clean values returned to Bubble.

Without a dedicated mobile scanner, builders often need custom React Native code or awkward workarounds just to read a QR code and trigger workflows.

This plugin gives Bubble Mobile builders a ready-made scanner powered by the native camera, with states, events and actions ready for real app workflows.

Why choose this plugin?

⚡ Performance: native camera-based QR scanning for mobile apps.

📱 Mobile Ready: built specifically for Bubble Mobile.

🔄 Workflow Integration: trigger workflows when permission changes, camera starts/stops or a QR code is identified.

💡 Torch Control: turn the device torch on or off from plugin actions.

🔁 Camera Switching: switch between front and back camera.

🧩 Easy Setup: add the element, configure camera behavior and use the scanned value state.
