Notes

• Currently running react-native-vison-camera version 2.16.5
  • To get started..
    1. Go go: ./node_modules/react-native-vison-camera/android/build.gradle"
    2. Line 138 - Change: minSdkVersion 21 to: minSdkVersion getExtOrIntegerDefault('minSdkVersion')
  • To upgrade to version 3.0.0, permissions values authorized must be changed to granted in the following files
    • ./src/components/RenderCamera.tsx
    • ./src/MeddlyCamera.tsx
  • FPS stuff has been commented out in 2.16.1. Uncomment FPS in ./src/components/RenderCamera.tsx if running react-native-vison-camera version 3.0.0

Roadmap

• Add: Write Geolocation data to file metadata
