Start another app from C++ code on iOS

peter-70

I try hard to implement a barcodescanner into my app, but this is not so ease (I'm using QQmlApplicationEngine to load qml)

Now I'm going to giving it up, and want instead start another app with the barcodescaner from my C++ code

But how can I do this on iOS?
Something like QProccess::start("another.barcodescanner.app") ???

Thank for your help!

hi @peter-70

afaik, you won't get away with that. Maybe in a rooted android device you may be able to start seperated apps, but not in iOS.

You can send requests to the OS to start for example the e-mail app, but you won't be able to start an other app like one would do in MacOS/Windows etc.

Hi,

Did you already saw that KDAB's blog about barcode scanning ?
