A barcode-reading system utilizes a decodability machine learning model (MLM), which is configured to predict decodability of an image by a barcode-decoding module. A captured image is passed to the decodability MLM for processing before being passed to the barcode-decoding module. If the decodability MLM returns a decodability prediction which indicates that the image is likely to be decodable by the barcode-decoding module, then the image is passed to the barcode-decoding module. Conversely, if the decodability MLM returns a decodability prediction which indicates that the image is not likely to be decodable by the barcode-decoding module, then the image is discarded without being passed to the barcode-decoding module.

Disclosed are various approaches for determining a version of an application for a user to access based at least in part an overall posture of the user and the device launching the application. An application can support multiple delivery mechanisms to allow a user different ways to access the service provided by the application. A posture level (e.g., level of risk, level of compliance) associated with the overall posture of a device and user accessing an application is determined. The posture level can be used to select which version of the application should be launched by the device in order to provide the best experience for the user while ensuring that security is considered.
