[?] Enhancement request is specific for Android only, for general issues / questions that apply to iOS and Android please raise them in CWA-Wishlist
[ ] If you are proposing a new feature, please do so in CWA-Wishlist

Current Implementation

When a user got vaccinated and scans the vaccination certificate using the "Register Your Test" function, the appearing message "QR code is invalid. The QR code....". The message does not contain a hint that vaccination certificates must be scanned in a different area of the application.

Suggested Enhancement

Minimum viable: Enhance the message text. Optimum: When the CWA recognizes a vacc certificate, it automatically branches to the correct program area for certificates.

Expected Benefits

Vaccination certificates are a new thing. Scanning Test-QR codes is a well-trained thing. I would not wonder if our users use the same trained click sequences also for the new thing and then get a non-helpful message. Fun fact: In the internal employee bulletin board of a big tech company, there was today a medium long discussion where the reason was searched why a user got this message, although the vacc cert was proper and recognized in CovPass. It took quite long until we found the solution: "Did you maybe scan it as test code?". If we can't find out, normal users can't either.

Hello @Ein-Tim ,

the wish described in wishlist item 501 would of course by the dream-solution, however, as I expect this wishlist item to be implemented not on a short notice, I would like to keep this issue open with the request to enhance the error message text as quick win.

Ein-Tim commented 3 years ago

@jkrwdf Okay, understood.

The behavior under iOS is the same, so this should be transferred to the wishlist, I guess..

jkrwdf commented 3 years ago

Agreed.

It is not possible to lift-and-shift this issue in GitHub directly, correct?

I will open it as new issue in the wishlist section if it is still here this evening.

@jkrwdf

One of the community managers (@dsarkar or @heinezen) can move this issue to the wishlist repository. You don't have to do anything.
