Hello!
I have a bare React Native project that I’ve added Expo-AV, Expo-Camera, and FaceDetector to. The Camera and AV libraries work as expected across both Android and iOS, so I know everything’s configured correctly as per the documentation.
The issue is when I try to use FaceDetector on iOS. It always returns 0 faces, even if faces are clearly in the image. If I try to use it on the Camera preview, rather than returning every X milliseconds, it only runs once on camera startup, detects 0 faces, then never triggers again.
There are no errors or warnings. It simply… Doesn’t work.
I’ve tried searching through the documentation and Github issues and can’t find anything regarding this. I even tried the advice here: FaceDetector not working in iOS standalone builds after MLKit migration · Issue #5373 · expo/expo · GitHub but nothing has changed.
Here’s my expo diagnostics output:

Is there any way to debug what’s going on? Without errors, I have no leads why this isn’t working! At this point I’m thinking I’ll have to go with other libraries, because this is beyond frustrating.
