198174 2019-05-23 00:29:43 -0700 Feature Request: Implement the Shape Detection API `BarcodeDetector` and `FaceDetector` 2023-10-27 06:41:50 -0700 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit WebCore Misc.

There is a well-documented industry case where native barcode detection would help from eBay: https://medium.com/ebaytech/webassembly-at-ebay-a-real-world-use-case-ef888f38b537. 1538853 1 webkit-bug-importer 2019-05-23 17:12:19 -0700 <rdar://problem/51089129> 1794392 2 boghyon+webkit 2021-09-17 04:46:15 -0700 I work with SAP customers. Especially the barcode detection is highly requested by small-mid-size businesses who can't hire (expensive) iOS developers. B2B customers need to be able to decode QR and barcodes quickly and reliably in various conditions within their mobile web apps. 1863994 3 depetoh107 2022-04-24 14:49:18 -0700 What's the progress on this? Really important use cases all round here, and Chrome is now shipping this on Android as of version 100. 1864036 4 tomac 2022-04-25 00:15:32 -0700 For a real world use case of the BarcodeDetector, see https://web.dev/mishipay/. Currently, iOS users are forced on the slow code path that needs to download the barcode reader implementation, whereas Android users can use their OS built-in barcode reader implementation. 1970509 5 halifirien 2023-08-10 09:54:17 -0700 looks like this is available in Safari Technical Preview 176 (perhaps even earlier) behind `Shape Detection API` feature flag. https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/174#issuecomment-1539422664 QR scanning worked in main thread, however BarcodeDetector was available in WebWorker but appears unusable. 1987979 6 gsnedders 2023-10-27 06:41:50 -0700 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 255803 ***
