Try the "scan code" button which should activate the camera and the app will crash. I just tested it with my iPhone and verified. The iOS App Store application was last updated 4 years ago. There's also comments there saying it doesn't work anymore.
Reading / using existing codes might work properly, or manually inputting them.
Interestingly my wife's XS is having the problem you describe but not my X.
I've sent a note to the maintainers, but there's an open git issue for it. Not sure when their commits will roll to the store.
I'm told by multiple colleagues at redhat that they've raised this with internal support, so it should be sorted eventually. Lots of iphones in redhat and this is the app they officially support for TFA internally.
Out in the real world, I know of cases where proprietary CPU or DSP IP was rejected in favor of RISC-V alternatives.
RISC-V may not change everything, but I do believe that it will change on thing in a major way: the financials of CPU IP such as Tensilica, Cortex-M0, ARC etc.
There is very little friction in replacing embedded controllers that are not customer facing. And that's a market were $0.01 in licensing fees can be a big deal.
Edit: in the maker world, the so-called Blue Pill is incredibly popular. It has an STM32F103 SOC with a 72MHz Cortex M3 and tons of digital and analog interfaces. On AliExpress, these boards go for $1.60 a piece!

Reminds me of USB vs Firewire. Firewire was the superior of the two yet it lost. Why? USB didn't have Fw's $0.25 licensing fee per manufactured device.
Steve Jobs changed royalty model from a flat licensing fee to a $1 fee per port (insane!), Intel walked away and cancelled all FireWire development, Jobs lowered it then to $0.25 but Intel didn't come back.
I remember PC and laptops equipped with a single fireware port well into the late 2000s even though peripherals are pretty much extinct by that time. Even Apple themselves appeared to have given up by removing them from newer ipods.
It's also about friction. You can download the RISC-V design straight off github (https://github.com/freechipsproject/rocket-chip) and start using it immediately. You don't have to phone up ARM or bring in lawyers to negotiate a license.
At least ARM smartened up on that one with the Cortex M0 and M3 DesignStart license, which requires no up front fee and you can just download the code for evaluation.
Probably still a good idea to have a lawyer read things over...
FYI man, alright. You could sit at home, and do like absolutely nothing, and your name goes through like 17 computers a day. 1984? Yeah right, man. That's a typo. Orwell is here now. He's livin' large. We have no names, man. No names. We are nameless!
Love what I've read so far and have sent an invite request. Thank you for your work, I was beginning to lament that all social media would fall into the toxic shitpost aggregator turned VC cash machine role.
It's not broken for the 15 or so accounts I use it for.
