The one thing I hope Apple has added to the pass framework is the ability to semantically define a barcode area.
This would enable them to finally have Wallet show ONLY that rectangle at a suddenly blinding brightness level (on HDR displays) for the scanner, rather than cranking up the entire screen.
I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, but Apple knows where the barcode is already. The data for the barcode is given as text, apple draws the barcode.
Maybe what you want is for the screen to support turning up brightness for just one part?
I didn’t realize the bar code region is already semantically defined. That means all Apple has to do is to support an HDR region in software, since the hardware already supports what you describe.
From another comment in this thread, you can see a proof of concept using the HDR video workaround that works on any recent iPhone (or MacBook Pro): <a href="https://dt.in.th/HDRQRCode" rel="nofollow">https://dt.in.th/HDRQRCode
