Notes

The Ionic zebra-scanner plugin only controls (and replaces) the DataWedge API.
This application has been tested and developed using a TC52ax running DataWedge 11.2.48. Although this app should work on older versions of DataWedge, perhaps as early as 6.5, I have not tested that.
On launch, a DataWedge profile will be created, configured and associated with this application
