Injected copy

When you use the Image injection toggle for an app installation, a copy of the application will appear in the Application management tab. This copy has already been re-signed and injected with the library that allows QR/Barcode scanning and Biometric authentication. That is why, the injected copy is installed much quicker.

The modal with the options for installation will not appear when you click on Install for the app labelled as Injected copy.

QR/Barcode cancellation

You can leave the feature before or during a QR/Barcode image upload and scanning.

Before uploading: if you have not chosen an image, you can click on Cancel, and the feature will close.

During uploading: if you have initiated a QR/Barcode image scanning, after clicking on Cancel, you will see a confirmation modal where you need to choose one of the buttons:

  • Yes – to stop the QR/Barcode uploading and scanning.
  • No – to continue the QR/Barcode scanning.
