A couple problems have been reported in the readme for the iPhone version of BarcodeScanner:

1. from Bruce Braithwaite:

I discovered an error which threw me off for a while during implementation of the barcode scanner for iOS and thought you might want to rectify.

https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/blob/master/iPhone/BarcodeScanner/README.md

In the full example, this line was changed:
window.plugins.barcodescanner.scan

It should be (uppercase S):
window.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan

2. reported on the mailing list

A few folks have misunderstood the readme and think the code needs to be "built" before it's used, then try to run the build, but don't read the build's readme, and ask questions on the mailing list.

The readme should be changed to make it clear that you only need to run the build if you're changing the barcodescanner code. In addition, the documentation should be clearer about how to build the test application, which also requires a build.
