What's Inside the EU Green Pass QR Code?

I'm having grief running the code on MacOS. Has anyone tried running the UK NHS app QR code through this? I am (200%) certain that uk.gov reinvented the wheel just to piss everyone off, but it would be interesting to know.

I have decoded the UK QR code (though not using this code). It conforms to the same standard.

That is good to know, as the app seems to claim you can use the QR code for foreign travel. Whether it is accepted is another thing.

The UK doesn't have an NHS, nor NHS app. The UK has four national health services, one for each country. IIRC only England has an NHS app. And we have no id cards. It's not looking good.

Have you looked at (in my case) the iOS app store? They certainly do have just such an app. Sure, I made a mistake thinking we were still United, but there is such an app for England residents.

well, i've written that code quite hastily, and mostly for my own need. i'd guess, the most likely cause would be a missing libzbar.
