I have an app Designed in Ignition Perspective that scans a barcode (data matrix) and stores the value.  
The barcode scans correctly when using the Android App, but the iPhone app does not detect the barcode.

Has anyone else seen / resolved this issue.

Thanks,  
Gavin

Has there been a resolution for this?  
I am starting a Perspective project that will need to us iOS (iPhone and iPad) devices for scanning barcodes (3of9 extended, Code93, PDF417 and data matrix).

I changed the style of barcode I used and have had no issue since. The old barcode would work on Android but not iOS. I would just verify the barcode using whichever os you will be using.
