I've updated the
BarcodeScanner and
AppPreferences to use the Apache Cordova 2.2.0 API's. That means no more deprecation notices in the Java code and the JavaScript code uses the cordova.require method. However, I'm still slapping the objects into window.plugins so you shouldn't need to change any of your JavaScript code after upgrading.
The BarcodeScanner code has also been updated to use the ZXing 2.1 library. If all goes well there I will contact Ryan over at PhoneGap Build to pick up my changes.
Next up will be the GalleryPlugin. The only thing holding it up is that I want to add a remove method to go along with the add.

Can you please tell us how we get this to work with iPhone - I can seem to get it working
@Russell Harrower
Not sure if the iOS plugin has been updated for 2.3.0.

I have older version of barcodescanner libarary project working wonderfully with my app using Cordova 1.9. ( my older version of barcodescanner lib project is identical to
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/Android/BarcodeScanner/LibraryProject )
Now I am in process of upgrade my app to use Cordova 2.4. The first thing I did is to update the barcodescanner lib project to 2.2.0 folder
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/Android/BarcodeScanner/2.2.0/LibraryProject
I copy/pasted all files from 2.2.0 version into the old one and refreshed my project in Eclipse and cleanly rebuilt and I got the following error.
Description Resource Path Location Type

Any idea what is going on? Am I missing somefiles?
Thanks,

I think I figured out. I needed to empty destination folder before copy paste in.
Those errors were from files no longer exist in newer version.
It seemed that asking the author always helps.
Thanks,
George
I add barcodescanner plugin into my phonegap, it work
well and nicely, it is a pity that my app expand about 500k+, how to just use core lib( thinner)?
@expert china
Well it is an open source plugin so feel free to modify it yourself to reduce the size. I don't have the time nor inclination to make the changes.
Thank you for the super usefull plugin! I copied the BarCode plugin from 2.2.0 folder and I'm using Cordova 2.7.0 and API 17. Everything is configured right, application is starting but cannot connect to the camera :( Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Simon do you have a basic project that has phonegap and your barcode scanner plugin working I am really struggling to add the plugin to my project I'm getting No resource found that matches the given name (at label with value @string/share_name) in the manifest file. Can you help?
I forgot to mention I'm using android studio not eclipse.
