Question

[ayan-das1234]

How did you got hold of Apple's private API and I want to create an Android version of this app so I was thinking of using react, will it be possible?

[Haroenv]

That won't be possible. A private API means that Apple implemented it in their code, and didn't document it. They need to be able to use it for their own apps, but you can't use it in any production app. This here only provides a more usable interface on the work Apple has done. Making this for Android (with or without React Native) requires you to do all the work yourself

...and have a depth sensing face recognition sensor

Actually works using the front-facing camera not the exclusive sensor in iPhone X: https://twitter.com/SnazzyQ/status/927672321363472384

According to Apple, it uses the dot projector which is part of the sensor package.

It uses the face sensors. That’s confirmed if you look at videos of an iphone X recognizing the face in animojis. The ir projectors light up Filippo Claudi

@Haroenv I didn't understand this line of yours: Making this for Android (with or without React Native) requires you to do all the work yourself

[alessaba]

Basically, you can’t use iOS frameworks in Android, so you’d also have to make a framework for tracking a face Filippo Claudi

Must I run it on iPhone X?

[simonbs]

@SummerSu Yes. Only iPhone X has Apples AvatarKit.

[AnGen]

Have somebody try some way to run app on iphone 8?

[alessaba]

There is only way of running it on devices other than iPhone X: making very big changes to the AvatarKit to not require the TrueDepth camera. But that’s difficult and nobody has done it yet Filippo Claudi

With the update of the new iOS to 11.3 and the new Avatars added, will there be any changes coming? Great project btw.

[simonbs]

@gyrene2083 I haven't run the project on iOS 11.3 yet but it shouldn't be necessary to change aything in order for the project to run on iOS 11.3. Furthermore the new Animojis introduced in 11.3 should automatically appear in the app.

[gyrene2083]

@simonbs Roger that, I will play around with it later today and give some feedback. Again thank all for your hard work.

@simonbs 08Apr18 @ 1637, I got installed and running, as you said, appeared automatically, and it's working working on, iPhone X, iOS 11.3, with all the Animoji's.
