I'm getting interested in using QR codes to pair devices or quickly share 
information (i.e. one device displays a QR code that the other device then 
reads with its camera.)

It's quite easy to generate a QR code using CoreImage. The roadblock I've hit 
is that AVFoundation only supports QR-code scanning on iOS, not Mac OS. (I.e. 
AVCaptureMetadataOutput is an iOS-only class.) That's a roadblock for 
transferring data (like a private key) from an iOS device to a Mac.

I've searched a bit for a Mac-compatible QR scanning library, but found nothing 
on Github or CocoaControls. Anyone know of one? (I know there are 
cross-platform libraries to do the raw image analysis, but I'm hoping to find 
something that (a) builds in Xcode, and (b) includes the code to talk to the 
camera since I know nothing about doing that.)
