Question

Mendix QR code scanner

Works on a computer but when opening it on my phone, it gives me this error: “The barcode scanner widget is only compatible with certain browsers and requires a secure HTTPS connection in certain browsers.” What can I do to fix this, so it works on phones?

The QR scanner will only work if you are serving the application over HTTPS. In your comment you mentioned it is being served using an HTTP URL so it will trigger a security alert on the phone.

The solution is to deploy it up to an environment that serves it’s content over HTTPS such as the Mendix Cloud, or to install a local proxy that can serve the application content from your local machine over HTTPS.
