The following barcode types can be natively recognized in iOS 7:
To recognize a barcode, application developers assign to the AVCaptureMetadataOutput.MetadataObjectTypes property. This must be done after the MonoTouch.AVFoundation.AVCaptureMetadataOutput has been added to the AVCaptureSession.Outputs of a MonoTouch.AVFoundation.AVCaptureSession object, as shown in the following code:
C# Example
session = new AVCaptureSession();
var camera = AVCaptureDevice.DefaultDeviceWithMediaType(AVMediaType.Video);
var input = AVCaptureDeviceInput.FromDevice(camera);
//Add the metadata output channel
metadataOutput = new AVCaptureMetadataOutput();
var metadataDelegate = new MyMetadataOutputDelegate();
metadataOutput.SetDelegate(metadataDelegate, DispatchQueue.MainQueue);
session.AddOutput(metadataOutput);
//Confusing! *After* adding to session, tell output what to recognize...
metadataOutput.MetadataObjectTypes = new NSString[] {
AVMetadataObject.TypeQRCode,
AVMetadataObject.TypeEAN13Code
};
session.StartRunning();
