I downloaded one for iphone that simply shows up as "scanner" and it works well. FWIW the boarding pass barcode is in PDF 417 format so finding one that supports it will work.

Has anyone gotten the scanner app to work with the bar code produced by the airlines' phone apps for mobile boarding passes? Mine only works with the one the website produces for printing at home.

Secondly, many people have asserted that these barcodes include signatures. But I've never seen any pointer to any evidence of this. Does anyone have any actual information on this purported signature? I'm quite skeptical because there doesn't seem to be enough bits in the barcodes to contain a particularly strong signature. ...

Moreover there's a fundamental weakness in a signature based scheme. The signing key would have to be in every terminal everywhere in the world belonging to every organization that can issue boarding passes. It wouldn't be very long before the key was leaked. ...
