It appears the Web Hyperlink feature of "Generate QR Code" in the latest version (as of the date of this posting) does not support web URLs which have more than 3 Top Level Domain (TLD) characters.
Example:
*.com URLs will work
*.life or *.world URLs will not work.
I haven't done enough digging to know if this is a limitation of QR codes in general (doubtful) or if it's just InDesign.
Anyone know of a way around this issue for InDesign? I haven't submitted a help/bug ticket for this yet, not sure how known of a problem it is.
Thanks in advance for any insights. I'm doing QR code stuff for the first time ever, surpised I ran into this limitiation in the first 10 minutes of making an effort 😞
Nevermind everyone (probably no one). Turns out the problem was only with the stock Android camera QR Code read feature (on a Pixel 5 at least). iOS 14 works just fine with the stock camera as well as with Google Lens.
False alarm, I'm an idiot 😞

Ah, almost forgot an important peice of info if this is a legitimate bug.
If I enter "http://www.mycoolwebsite.life" as the URL for a web hyperlink (honestly who still uses the term "hyperlink"!?), the QR Code which is generated will point to "http://www.mycoolwebsite.li"
(Notice the missing "fe" at the end of the URL there. Yeah, weird huh?)
