Windows Phone App will not open camera for barcode scanning on Windows 8 phones

My app works great on iPhones and Android, and I'm trying to get it to work for Windows phones. I exported the VS project and it seemed to compile just fine. I uploaded it as a beta to the Windows Phone store and had a friend who has a Windows 8 phone install it to his phone. I have a button that launches the barcode scanning service, but he says it does nothing when he taps it. I tried upgrading the project to Windows 8 (instead of 7.1) to see if that would help, but get errors when trying it out in the emulator. It won't even load the home screen - I get "MyAppName.App.RootFrame_NavigationFailed(object, System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationFailedEventArgs)"
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

No. I didn't change any code. When I converted to Windows 8, I didn't change anything except to right click on the project and click upgrade to Windows 8.

Hi Angela -

Just to add: we not support Windows Phone 8 app for now.
We'll be supporting it in March with binary builds from inside the Appery.io.
