ZBar is used widely in iOS applications and has an SDK specifically for iphone devices.

ZBar SDK supports the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, as they have a camera with auto-focus. The ZBar library does not support the iPhone 3G. At the same time ZBar supports iPad 2 camera, in spite of absense of auto-focus camera.

ZBar is licensed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 to enable development of both open source and commercial projects.
