About CNS Barcode
At its core, CNS Barcode is an app for scanning and generating barcodes. You can use this app for a variety of barcodes including Aztec, Codabar, Code 3 of 9 (Code 39), Code 3 of 9 Ext. (Code 39+), Code 93, Code 128, Databar-14, Databar-14 Stacked, Data Matrix, EAN 2, EAN 5, EAN 13, EAN 14, EAN 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, ISBN (EAN-13), PDF417, QR Code, UPC A, and UPC E.
The power behind CNS Barcode, though, is not just scanning and generating barcodes. CNS Barcode can be launched from other iOS apps on your device using the cnsbarcode:// URL Scheme. This is a very powerful feature that allows you to add the functionality of scanning and generating barcodes to any app that can launch URLs and in turn be launched by a URL. An example of such an app is FileMaker Go. With a specially designed FileMaker Go database, you could, for example, press a button to launch CNS Barcode, scan a product barcode, and have CNS Barcode launch a URL to run a script in FileMaker Go. The FileMaker Go script could then use the barcode data to add a product to an invoice or locate an item in your product database.
CNS Barcode Features:
- Scan a variety of barcode symbologies including QR Codes
- Scan from any angle
- Scan multiple barcodes
- Generate barcodes from data you provide
- Launch other iOS apps after scanning barcodes
- Launch CNS Barcode from other iOS apps
- Launch URLs found in barcodes (http://, sms://, tel://, fmp://, etc.)
- Perform product searches
- Scan barcodes into FileMaker Go databases
- Create Profiles for processing barcodes

1.5.0
Nov 4, 2013
Notice:
This update serves two purposes: it contains iOS 7 appearance fixes and it incorporates a customer requested feature (the "webview:" feature mentioned below). We have a much bigger update in the works, so please stay tuned!
Changes:
- Updated for iOS 7.
- Made it possible to view URL data from barcodes instead of automatically loading the URL. To open the URL from the detail view, use the bottom right toolbar button.
- Made it possible to select and copy out barcode data from the detail view.
- Fixed issues with the barcode data field on the Generate tab.
- Fixed issues with creating profiles without names.
- Changed the way the internal webview appears and disappears for more fluid workflows.
- Added customer request: The ability to open the internal web view from a Profile Launch URL by beginning the URL with "webview:"

1.4.1
May 13, 2013
- Fixed a bug with adding profiles where tapping in and back out of the name field without changing the name would result in a duplicate name warning.
- Rewrote/Cleaned up the code that displays barcode scanning results.
- Removed the scan image for now because it was still causing memory issues.
- Added support for returning multiple scans in the Launch URL instead of on the clipboard. Multiple scans will be separated by '::RS::' in the result.
- Fixed an issue where generating barcodes would sometimes fail without error.
- Added code to allow newer/faster devices to scan faster/more accurately.

- Added a new Regenerated Barcode section to the scan detail page for generating a clean version of the barcode that was scanned
- Added support for all device orientations/rotations
- Fixed a bug when adding profiles that would sometimes result in duplicate profiles

1.3.1
May 23, 2012
Version 1.3.1:
- Fixed scanning with the rear-facing camera on iPod Touch 4g devices and the front-facing camera on all devices ... a last minute bug from a last minute change ... sorry about that, folks.
Version 1.3.0:
- Rewrote image filtering code to fix issues with scanning blue barcodes and barcodes printed on yellow backgrounds.
- Sped up scanning with the rear camera on iPhone 4/4S and 3rd gen iPad devices.
- Sped up barcode recognition.
- Redesigned most of the main scanning interface to accommodate new features like a list of scan results, incorporating the photo scanning in a way that it can be used for multiple scans intermixed with scans from the built-in camera, detail views that include web pages from scanned barcodes, etc.
- Removed the Photo tab from the main screen (since photo scanning is now incorporated into the new, main scanning interface).
- Removed the "Disabled" text from the initial scanning interface when the app is loaded on a device with no built-in camera. Instead, tapping on the "Tap to begin Scanning!" text will bring up a view that informs the user there is no camera but they can scan photos by tapping the photo button in the toolbar.
- Changed the "Launch Barcode URLs" text in the Settings to "Auto Show URLs" because the app now uses a built-in Web View to display those URLs.
- Clarified some of the barcode type names and examples.
- Added support for scanning and generating the Codabar barcode format.
- Since there is only one scanning interface now, a cnsbarcode://scan call will automatically bring up that new scanning interface; using cnsbarcode://scan?method=photo will still bring up the photo picker, though.
- Fixed a bug with generating ISBN13 barcodes that end in a 0 check digit.
- Added support for tap-to-focus.
- Several other bugs, including crashing bugs, have been fixed.
