Why don't Zebra StageNow barcodes work on devices running Android 13 and above?

Starting with Android 13, Zebra uses extended XML (eXML), which is related to the use of different barcodes generated using StageNow. To create these barcodes, you need StageNow version 5.9 or higher. In the Publish section, the software offers you the option to generate 4 different types of barcodes:

• PDF417 - for devices with a 2D scanner ( which are the vast majority today) running Android 11 or lower,
• Linear - for devices with 1D laser with Android 11 or lower,
• JS PDF417 - for devices with a 2D scanner running Android 13 or higher,
• JS Linear - for devices with a 1D laser running Android 13 or higher.
