Very useful, thank you! Is there a way to use it in a Cordova project?

I can’t compile due to “Inconsistent JVM-target compatibility detected for tasks ‘compileDebugJavaWithJavac’ (17) and ‘compileDebugKotlin’ (21)”. Raising the minimum SDK version doesn’t seem to be enough.

When npx cap run android, I encounter the following error

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ‘:app:checkDebugAarMetadata’.
  > Could not resolve all files for configuration ‘:app:debugRuntimeClasspath’.
  > Could not find any matches for com.github.outsystems:osbarcode-android:[1.0.1, 2.0.0[ as no versions of com.github.outsystems:osbarcode-android are available.
  Searched in the following locations:

Is there a way to customize the UI? The current barcode scanner plugin we use allows us to add a custom overlay, but the docs don’t detail if this is possible.

Cool! If you provide a viewport option for overlaying this on top of html, I’m all in. This full-screen stuff doesn’t work for me.
