Phonegap-plugin barcodescanner for iOS: no support for PDF417?

I'm building a barcodescanner for both Android and iPhone, which needs to support several formats, including PDF417. I got the phonegap plugin from github working on Android (is working nicely, really cool), and looking into the iPhone/iOS version. But it seems the PDF417 format is not supported (yet).

Does anyone have an idea if the PDF417 format will be supported soon, or I should consider building something by myself? Or are their other plugins/libraries for phonegap that'll integrate smoothly?

According to this question ZXing has alpha-level support for PDF417 barcodes. That might not help you much for Phonegap, though. – Brad Larson
I don't have an answer for barcodescanner phonegab-plugin, but if you want to explore other PDF417 phonegap plugins, I can recommend the one that was developed by a team I'm working for: github.com/PDF417 – ssasa

Looks like this is supported in iOS7, you can use AVCapture and AVMetadataObjectTypePDF417Code.
