Can anyone point me in the right direction for information or tutorials for adding a QRcode reader to a native iPhone app?
Thanks in advance.

Get the ZBar iPhone SDK
http://zbar.sourceforge.net/iphone/index.html

ZXing (http://code.google.com/p/zxing/) and ZBar (above) are the ones heard about most. ZBar is LGPL 2.1, ZXing is Apache 2.
http://code.google.com/p/zxing/source/browse/trunk/iphone/README describes integrating the provided widget into an Xcode project.

Compatibility between iPhone/iPad and Phonegap

I'm about to start a new app project for iPhone/iPad and I'm checking if there's any relevant issue between iphone and Phonegap compatibility?
The project most possible trouble will be the audio and video streaming.
A look through the PhoneGap documentation should tell you if the features you want are supported or not.

creating QR code using zbar sdk for iphone

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.
onbarcode
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.

Enhanced iOS barcode scanner library?

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.
