1. I noticed that the DeepAR Beauty API is currently in beta. What is the difference between this and the makeup filters sold by DeepAR for around $1999?

1. When is the release date for the DeepAR Beauty plugin? Or is it already available for purchase?
2. I am currently using version 5.4.1 of the deepAR SDK due to an issue. Will the release version be compatible with this version?
3. Here is a link to an issue topic I posted earlier regarding the latest version: [A very serious issue has occurred. I urgently request a prompt response. "initializeOffscreen dosent work with new version of deepAR"](https://forum.deepar.ai/t/a-very-serious-issue-has-occurred-i-urgently-request-a-prompt-response-initializeoffscreen-dosent-work-with-new-version-of-deepar/546). When can we expect this issue to be resolved?

Hi,
1. DeepAR Beauty is an easy-to-use API for beautification and makeup with DeepAR SDK. It is intended to be used as a standalone api, and much easier to modify looks in.
2. You can buy it now by contacting our sales [Contact Us | DeepAR](https://www.deepar.ai/contact#demo-form)
3. It uses the latest SDK internally, but again, isn’t meant to be used as the full SDK.
4. We’re still looking into that

Thank you for your reply. I have an additional question.
Approximately how long will it take to resolve the offscreen issue? Can we expect a solution within the next 6 months, or should we look towards next year?
I’m interested in using the beauty API for iOS, but is it still under development? According to the documentation here: [https://docs.deepar.ai](https://docs.deepar.ai)./deepar-beauty/introduction, it seems like it’s not yet available for iOS.
1. Is the beauty plugin for iOS available for purchase now? (Or will it be within the next 3 months?)
2. Whether it’s available for purchase or not, is it possible to test the beauty-related SDK for iOS?
