So, can I show it on my iPhone8 and scan the code with iPad? Does BC-ID have code too?

No, you can't upload the file as far as I know, the QR code on the card has to be scanned and at least I found the only way to do this is to display the card on a second screen or to have a print out. When I did mine I displayed it on my laptop screen and used the Code Scanner option, when I then added my wife's on her phone I decided to try a different approach and I printed out her vaccine passport and used the camera app. In my opinion using Code Scanner is easier because it captures the code automatically as soon as it sees it whereas with the camera app Voiceover told me a QR code was present, but I then realized after nothing happened that there was a button which I think was labelled "Capture QR Code" and I had to tap that. But once I did it also worked. If you want to use Code Scanner this is not an app per say, you have to access it via the Control Centre similar to how you access the Flashlight which is also not an app but a feature. This means you may have to add it to the Control Panel because I can't remember if it is there by default. I would first bring up Control Centre and check, if it is not there go to Settings > Control Centre, look for it under the "More Controls" heading and then double tap on where it says "Insert Code Scanner". Regardless whether you use Code Scanner or the Camera app, once the QR code is recognized a message pops up asking if you want to add the card to Apple Wallet and Health, just tap Add and you are done; it's super simple. Keep in mind that here in Canada this works with vaccination passports from BC and a few other provinces whose cards meet the standard which Apple required for this. If you are in Ontario and a province where this is not the case it won't work, but for Ontario there is a third-party work-around, I had posted the link for that in the article from iPhoneInCanada where I first read that this should be easy to do if you are in British Columbia. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
