Can not read EU Digital Covid Vaccination Certificate #3962

Closed luxalpa closed 3 years ago

Technical details

Describe the bug

When using the App on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to make a picture of the Covid certificate on the paper that I got from the pharmacy it simply does not recognize the QR code (no error, it simply doesn't do anything). I tried it in different lighting setups, rotations, zoom levels, with patience, etc and also scanned the paper into my computer and tried scanning it from the monitor.

The only way I got it to work was to scan it in the Luca App (which had no problem with the code either way), and then make a screenshot of the code in the Luca App (which looks very different and also smaller) and then scan that screenshot (opened on my monitor) with the Corona Warn App.

Steps to reproduce the issue

I would love to put a picture of the QR code but I think that's not allowed.

Hi @luxalpa 👋

This is a know issue and it's tracked in #3514. I suggest you add your observations to #3514 through a comment.

I would love to put a picture of the QR code but I think that's not allowed.

The QR code contains your personal information (name & date of birth) as well as information on your vaccination. So I would recommended not to share it here, publicly, on GitHub.

Thank you and have a nice Sunday & stay safe!
