We can use the zbar library to scan pictures for barcodes in Xojo:
ZBar is an open source software suite for reading bar codes from various sources, such as video streams, image files and raw intensity sensors. It supports many popular symbologies (types of bar codes) including EAN-13/UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, Code 128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5 and QR Code.
ZBar is licensed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 to enable development of both open source and commercial projects.
Since the library is under LGPL license, we can't embed it within the plugin and you need to provide a DLL/dylib/so file to the plugin to load library
