QR reader - read the same code with different apps

How can I make QR Reader to read the same code with Android and iOS app? It is easy if you have 1 code for Android app and 1 for iOS, but same code should be read, no matter which phone do you have. QR reader in different apps creates different names for the same code and only one is readable. Is it somehow possible to input in second app name of the code manually? I tried this in BT_config.txt and it works, but every time I refresh (publish) app, old codename is back and app doesn't work.

Thanks, but it's not what I am looking. QR Reader plugin generates its own code and I want this code to be read in other app (generated in iOS but worked also in Android).

If you're referring to the QR Reader plugin I created, it works by making the QR Code equal to the itemId of the screen you want to load. (You can generate the qr code image using any website you want - I like qrstuff.com). So, to use the same code in multiple apps, you just need to set the itemId to be the same across the apps. The easiest way to do this is to use the JSON Snippet Creator to create your screens, so that you can edit the itemId.
