How to Build the Sample App and Run it on your iOS Device

To build the included sample application, see "How to build and run BXDemo on a physical device" in the How To section.

Note that you must deploy to an actual iOS device. Because of the camera requirement, the application may not be run on the simulator.

For an overview of the barcode recognition workflow in BarcodeXpress for iOS, see the Concepts page.
