UWP Camera Barcode Scanner does not support Barcode Type 93. How can I solve this?

Question

Im currently working in a project that needs to been able to scan barcodes using just the camera. I found out that code93 is not supported in the windows 10 sdk. Should I use a different sdk/nuget/package to have code93 support?

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I found out that code93 is not supported in the windows 10 sdk.

Yes, based on the document: Supported symbologies, code 93 is not supported. Only UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Databar Omnidirectional, Databar Stacked, QR Code and GS1DWCode are supported.

Should I use a different sdk/nuget/package to have code93 support?

I have to say yes. If you have such a requirement that scan code 93, you might need to look for another library which could detect the code 93. The built-in Barcode Scanner can't meet your requirement.

I'd suggest you submit a feature request about this API in the Feedback Hub. You could find the Feedback Hub in the Start Menu. Please select Developer Platform->API Feedback as the category when you submit your request. The related team will check the request.

Thank you.
