UWP BarcodeScanner does not recognize Code39 Barcode

I'm currently developing an UWP App in which one step is to scan a barcode encoded in code39 using the camera.

With other (UWP-)Apps I found in the store my sample code does get recognized correctly as code39 encoded (so I assume it is a valid code).

I looked at the BarcodeScanner Sample from the microsoft uwp samples on github (I also looked at the CameraBarcodeScanner sample, which got removed from the github recently)

When I use BarcodeScanner and ClaimedBarcodeScanner classes from Windows.Devices.PointOfService, other barcodes (EAN8 or EAN13) get recognized correctly. (So I assume barcode regognition as such works)

I tried using SetActiveSymbologiesAsync to enable the scanner to find code39 barcodes. Whenever I call it without BarcodeSymbologies.Ean8 in the list, an exception gets thrown:

"A device attached to the system is not functioning. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007001F)"

When I call it with BarcodeSymbologies.Ean8 in the list, it falsely recognizes an EAN8 code when pointing the camera to the code39 barcode.

Here is my code:

private void OnScannerDataReceived(ClaimedBarcodeScanner sender, BarcodeScannerDataReceivedEventArgs args)
{
    var dataLabel = string.Format("{0}", Encoding.UTF8.GetString(args.Report.ScanData));
    var symbol = BarcodeSymbologies.GetName(args.Report.ScanDataType);
    Debug.WriteLine($"LABEL: {dataLabel} | BARCODE: {symbol}.");
    BarcodeReceived?.Invoke(this, dataLabel);
}

Thank you for reporting this issue.

Well, the scenario you asked is using our in-box software decoder with a standard camera lens. Unfortunately we have discovered issues with this decoder accurately reading 1D barcodes, including Code 39 and will be addressing this in a future release.

Code 39 works fine with physical barcode scanners, so this is an issue specific to the camera lens decoder. We hope to have a new software decoder available in a future release that will address this issue. We would recommend using this camera lens decoder with QR Code only for now.
