Barcode Scanner doesn't work in Power BI Mobile

Hi, I have an app in Power Apps with a barcode scanner. I embebbed it in a Power BI dashboard.

The problem comes when I access to the dashboard with Power BI Mobile (my OS is Android). Inside the app, I press the barcode scanner button, but it doesn't do anything.

 

On the settings of my smartphone I allowed Power BI to get access to my camera.

 

Someone had a similar problem and could solve it?

I did a quick attempt at implementing the PowerApps barcode scanner in PowerBI Mobile and I'm experiencing the same issues. I can't say anything for certain but my guess is that the scanner is simply not able to access the camera through the Power BI mobile app.

Hi,

 

do you know this documentation?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/mobile/mobile-apps-scan-barcode-iphone

I think you have to use the Power BI barcode scanner and transfer the value as a filter value to the Power Appp Visual.

 

Could imagine, however, that the Power App Visual does not have the necessary rights in the Power BI Mobile App.

 

Did I answer your question?
