Ambiguous watchOS instructions in README.md

Thanks! It looks great now!

For some reason the CIFilters generate blank qr codes in my project... It's you who made my project possible!

Hi there,

Apologies for the confusion here. I've just pushed up a new build (tagged 7.0.0) which includes a separate watchOS library target (QRCodeWatchOS and QRCodeWatchOSDynamic) which will hopefully reduce the confusion here. Admittedly when exploring your comment I stumbled over exactly the same issue!

So, long answer short - you should upgrade to 7.0.0 and link against QRCodeWatchOS (much easier to understand!)

• I've also updated the doco to include this change, along with a screenshot of the Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content requirement.
• There's also a new bare-bones watchOS example in the Demos folder.

Can you take a look and see what you think?

Cheers and thanks for the feedback!

Great job! It's now much easier to understand how to generate QR code on watchOS!

However, I think there are 2 tiny things:

1. Despite its name, QRCodeWatchOS also works (perfectly) on iOS/macOS/tvOS. If one wants to keep the same code between iOS/watchOS to generate QR code, this may add confusion to him/her; maybe leading he/she to use different codes on iOS and watchOS.
2. The QRCode3rdPartyGenerator seems to still be there. Maybe consider removing it?

Agreed.

• QRCodeWatchOS has been renamed to QRCodeExternal
• QRCodeGenerator_WatchOS has been renamed to QRCodeGenerator_External
• QRCode3rdPartyGenerator has been removed completely.

The README.md file has been updated to reflect the changes, also that QRCodeExternal can be used for all platforms.

I've updated the version number to 8.0.0 so that anyone who has upgraded to 7.0.0 won't automatically update to the new naming until they want/need to.

Ah that's great news!

It's definitely odd that the CIFilter is generating a blank qr code. I'm glad I could help!

Cheers and thanks for all the feedback.
