Flipping iPad camera for scanning.

iPad/iPhones have two camera lenses.. front / back.    Using the Ninox on an iPad.. I do not see the option to flip the lense between front / back.  I do see the "scan" action on the bottom.. and when selected .. it assumes I am using the back lense .. and only offers a "dismiss" or "done" action ...

Am I missing something?

    Hi Mike, 

    I tried it with my iPad pro now and did not have any problems to flip the camera between front and back when I choose the option "Take photo".

    I have the normal camera options like flash, flip camera, take photo, photo, video and dismiss at the bottom as additional option from Ninox.

    Best, Jörg

    OK.. I did not structure the question well enough.  You are 100% correct on "Take Photo".. I can flip the lens...   However, if I want to SCAN (using the bar code scanner image at the bottom of the screen) .. It does NOT give me the option to flip the lens... Ninox assumes that I want to use the back lens.

    Hi Mike, 

    After my latest test of the function barcodeScan() I came to the same result like you.

    I have already added it into our change request list.

    OK.. Thank you for adding it..  In my use case.. if the iPad is on a fixed stand.. I want to scan from the front..

    Thanks Sakashi.. I keep forgetting to check the release notes.  I must have mistyped it when doing a search of the html page.. :(
