Seems like this should be a prioritized component since the QR code generator already exists. Kind of pointless if you can’t do anything with the QR.

You can generate and display a qr in your app that a user can scan with standard ios camera and triger a page load or vcard etc.

You can provide a QR to trigger external action by a third party just not in app.
