Troubleshooting

Install Unable to import package 'kivy.garden.xcamera.XCamera'

You're missing the xcamera dependency. Install it as described in the install instructions.

Android ValueError: Empty module name

More likely an import issue in your .kv file. Try to from zbarcam import ZBarCam in your main.py to see the exact error. It's common to forget Pillow in buildozer.spec requirements section.
