I am beginner in iphone programming I have to do a project for my course and I have 1 month left.
what I have to do is that application scan qr code and load information like media and text from mysql database relevant to that object.
can you please guide me which SDK is more easy to learn for me as a beginner and also convenient for this project?
Thanks in Advance
I have used ZBar SDK In my app..it is pretty easy to use and is also customizable.
http://zbar.sourceforge.net/iphone/sdkdoc/index.html
I am using ZbarSdk for QR Codes, but it is fetching image from camera, and i want it to fetch image from library, so that i can test it on simulator, but don't know where to implement code for it. I know how to fetch from library rather than camera,but don't know where and how to implement that code. Can anyone help me out in this.
Thanks in advance.
It is not possible through Zbar sdk, as it doest not allowed.
In my project I have to get the barcode type from its barcode number. Is there any framework or piece of sample code out there that can handle this on both iPhone and Android?
I have Googled around and found nothing.
Look at http://code.google.com/p/zxing/. This includes a barcode generator.
ZBAR sdk is normally used to read QRcode or barcode & convert it to user data. Can we use ZBAR API to create QRcode for iphone?
As far I know Zbar SDK can only be used to read.
Maybe this link will be of some help.

https://github.com/myang-git/QR-Code-Encoder-for-Objective-C worked well to generate QR Codes even with much content and UTF-8 characters (where some other generators I tried failed). The project is active and Apache 2.0 licensed.
We're creating an iOS app that basically scans badges at events and collects contact info. We're looking for an iOS library that can read not only the number of the barcode, but also any additional information that's included (contact info). Does anyone have any library suggestions or will this have to be a custom library? Thanks in advance!
Updated:
Use AVCaptureMetaDataOutput in AVFoundation which works with minimum deployment target iOS 7.
Previous Answer:
Have been using ZBar SDK in most of our projects. Picks up barcode and scans very fast, easy to customize focus area from SDK. Tested on iPhone 3GS, iPhone4/4S, iPhone 5 and iPad

iOS7 has built in functionality scanning BarCodes not sepearate sdk is required; if your deployment target is iOS7
Is your barcode format up to you, or do you have a predetermined symbology you have to work with?
There is this: http://shopsavvy.mobi/sdk/. Don't know why that wouldn't work for you, unless you object to the licensing terms.
Checkout ZXing ("Zebra Crossing") at http://code.google.com/p/zxing/
Reads almost every kind of barcodes and we used it with great success previously.
Use ZBAR its the best, we used it in our app www.infomq.com and its is really stable and scans reliably.
Basically you want to use PDF417 which is a stacked linear barcode symbol. Check out the pdf417 decode on Sourceforge.
