iPadOS 17.4: AVCaptureMetadataOutput delegate not called

After my iPad 6 upgrades from iOS 17.3 to 17.4, the AVCaptureMetadataOutput delegate is not called anymore. I find there is the same problem in a stackoverflow post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78128010/ipados-17-4-avcapturemetadataoutput-delegate-not-called-qrscanner

An Apple webpage said the "QR code scanning" issue is fixed in iPadOS 17.4.1:

If your iPad is unable to scan QR codes after updating to iPadOS 17.4 - Apple Support

That's true, I confirm that on my iPad 6.

But, unfortunately, iPadOS 17.4.1 does fix ONLY QR code scanning! It doesn't fix barcode scanning, like Code 39😭

Please Apple fix the barcode scanning issue, too.

Hello MrHoffman,

We are in the process of doing that and trying to post anywhere and everywhere to get their attention. Do you know of any quicker way of reaching out to them?

“We are in the process of doing that” can be inferred to mean you haven’t actually logged a bug report yet.

Go fix that first.

I confirm iOS 17.5 fixes the bar code scanning problem for iPad 6.
