Problem with a Windows tablet #135

We are a small organization that creates software for archaeology. For our mobile field data recorder module we seek to be able to scan tags with a 1D barcode (2D barcodes are too fragile to use in archeological field work). We have integrated your Simple_Barcode_Scanner in a Flutter app for this mobile field data recorder module. It must run on Android, iOS, AND on Windows tablets. For Android and iOS there seem to be no issues. By default the Back camera is selected which is the correct camera, but even then there are several buttons available to switch those cameras and also to Cancel the process and close the scan screen. However for use on a Windows tablet there seems to be an issue; by default the front camera is selected, which would be the wrong one, and no buttons seem to be available (as far as we can see) to switch the camera or Cancel the process and close the scan screen. These Windows tablets have, like a mobile Android or iOS device, both a front and rear facing camera, and just like mobile Android and iOS devices the rear facing camera must be used for the barcode scanning. Is it correct that these features are not available for a Windows device, even if that device is a Windows tablet with two cameras? And if so, do you think a future update could allow a selection of the rear facing camera on a Windows tablet and have these buttons added like available for an Android or iOS device, also to cancel the process and close the screen? Thank you very much.
