As a follow up to anyone who stumbles upon this- I have forked the original repo and am now maintaining it to work with an Expo project starting with iOS (but planning on android in the future): [GitHub - diogeneshamilton/react-native-deepar: Snapchat-like filters, AR lenses, and real-time facial animations.](https://github.com/diogeneshamilton/react-native-deepar)
