rancon/ANE-QR-ZBar
A QRCode scanner ANE for adobe flash iOS extension. Will scan barcodes using the zbar library
An Adobe Native Extension (ANE) that wraps the ZBar barcode scanning library for Adobe AIR/Flash apps targeting iOS. It lets ActionScript developers call native iOS camera/barcode code without writing Objective-C directly. Abandoned since 2014.
The ANE-Wizard project structure is clean and follows the FreshPlanet convention, making it at least approachable for the handful of people still maintaining AIR apps. The AS3 API is simple — getInstance(), scan(), two events. Hard to get wrong.
ZBar itself was deprecated and its SourceForge hosting has been dead for years — the upstream library this wraps no longer exists in any maintained form. Adobe AIR on iOS is a dead platform; Apple's ecosystem changes have made ANE development effectively impossible without constant re-signing gymnastics. The repo has no actual source files in the directory tree — just a README — so there is nothing to compile. Last touched in 2014, twelve years ago.
