Hi everyone!

I am also experiencing the same problem, I designed an app to read QR and register attendance it worked very well until the update V. 454-3 (April 16th approx) where suddenly instead of appearing the camera for scanning a blank screen appears and the button “cancel” as if you were reading the code.

I performed several procedures as advised in this community forums, but the problem has not been corrected. I tested it on the Thunkable Live Preview app and on the following devices:

- Motorola One Vision - Android 10
- Lenovo Tab10 - Android 7
- Lanix Illium - Android Go 11

I also downloaded the apk to test on devices and got the same behavior.

I attach screenshots of the app, I appreciate any help because I was really liking the platform. I’m trying Kodular as an alternative, but the UI design is not as nice.

All permission is allowed. I think it is a bugs (big) for Non-drag&drop users.
