My iPhone 6s doesn’t like this QR code, it just says “No usable data found”.
- rhizome 8y agois there a "don't try to use the data" setting, so it'll just present the plain text?
- masklinn 8y agoNope. Only setting is to not scan for qrcodes at all.
- masklinn 8y agoThe built-in QR detector is very finnicky/odd, apparently it just assumes every payload is an HTTP URL, nothing else works even remotely. Other applications work much better for that, though they may or may not recognise non-http URIs e.g. here scanbot just displays the textual content and you're on the hook for copy/pasting it wherever you need.
- myfonj 8y agoYes, I had no luck even with QR reader integrated in Nightly Android [0]. Sadly, copypasting resulting URI as plaintext is most probably the only option for modern browsers, because any other way of top level frame navigation to dataURI document is blocked. (Besides existing bookmark, that is.) I keep forgetting this, sorry for hurried "in theory it must work great" shout out.
