Xamarin form support for QR Code Scanning

Is there going to be native support for QR code scanning with Xamarin Form or via Xamarin Essentials?.

Currently there is no native support for QR code , you can take a look at the excellent plugin ZXing.Net.Mobile.

But the ZXing.Net.Mobile is not getting much development and update at the moment. Especially with the new AndroidX and Camera2 api.

You can make your own implementation( use Camera2 API ) , and use dependency service to call the function in Forms project.

There's another nuget BarcodeScanner.XF from google that works a lot better on Android. It works well on iOS as well. There's a bit of setup involved, but once you get it working you'd never want to go back to zxing.
