Migrate to ML Kit #1

Open MarcoScabbiolo opened 3 years ago

Related to https://github.com/react-native-camera/react-native-camera/issues/2018 and https://github.com/react-native-camera/react-native-camera/pull/2931

Starting from version 4 we should deprecate all google cloud vision features and replace them with ML kit on both Android and iOS

In regards to https://github.com/react-native-camera/react-native-camera/pull/2931#issuecomment-725431452 , @mikehardy do you have any ETA or roadmap for a standalone ML kit react native module we can depend on?

Unfortunately I've been giving "soon now" as an ETA for a while, but as it's open source work it has to slice in between paying stuff. It's worth doing, but priorities, right? To be clear though: the code removed from react-native-firebase worked and it still exists, the job is not to code new stuff, it's just to mostly clone the react-native-firebase monorepo / packages / maintenance+testing infrastructure and drop the code-that-actually-worked in there. So it's not a bunch of unknown programming things to figure out, which means as a thing to estimate it's not too hard. I was thinking maybe a week to stand it up and make it public.

We actually have a repo and npmjs space already they're just not public yet since there's nothing to show. I'm hoping for it to exist and be public sometime February / March, it's close to the top of my list at the moment.

Sorry I can't be more concrete but guarantees only come with funding, which this doesn't have much of really

No worries! We still have some ground to cover on our side. I'll ping you when we start working on the ML features and maybe even give you a hand with migrating the code to the new react-native-firebase monorepo. Thanks!
