🐛 camera freezing when pointing to a "Face"

[marcosrjjunior]

What's happening?

The camera is freezing when pointing to a face. Please check videos below.

30 fps
60 fps

Found these issues pointing to the same error: #2313, #2329. Not sure if is direct related because I'm not even using any zoom option.

Seems like the camera is trying to perform some face identification when focus is on a face. I'm guessing it is related to the iOS version.

**

• This issue is also happening when using a different camera library.
• I could not reproduce on the "ShadowLens 1.1.2 (17)" app.

Reproduceable Code

function App() {
  const device = useCameraDevice('back')

  if (device == null) return <View />

  return (
    <Camera
      style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
      device={device}
      isActive
      enableZoomGesture={false}
    />
  )
}

Relevant log output

output on the videos above.

Device

iPad iOS 17.5.1 9th gen.
Couldn't reproduce on 8th gen or iPhone 13 Pro.
Maybe something related to the hardware performance.

VisionCamera Version

first identified on "2.16.7", also happening on 4.3.2 after update

Can you reproduce this issue in the VisionCamera Example app?

I didn't try but followed examples and even tried disabling some props.

Additional information

• I am using Expo
• I have enabled Frame Processors (react-native-worklets-core)

@arjunmenon1302 why are you bumping an issue on the same exact day it was created at?

[mrousavy]

@marcosrjjunior sorry I cannot help you. I cannot reproduce the issue with the sample code you provided (tested on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 8), and if you didn't try to reproduce it in the example app then we don't know where it is coming from. Maybe you are using a Frame Processor Plugin that does something weird.

@marcosrjjunior AVFoundationErrorDomain code -11819 means that the daemon has crashed, I think you need to file this bug using Apple's Feedback Assistant.

I don't think this is related to VisionCamera at all, but it doesn't hurt to also tell them that you use VisionCamera (provide a link to the github repo)
