Currently, we have successfully done it for android by creating a native module for snapchat camera kit (it launches camera kit on pressing a button). But we are facing issues in doing same thing for ios.

    @newzera dev We currently don't have official support for react native, but we have seen other developers are able to use it. Our team is aware of this request, you can add a vote up to it [here] for our PMs :) (https://community.snap.com/snapar/discussion/851/react-native-integration#latest)

    In the meantime, could you share more details on the issue you're having for iOS?

    Also great to hear you got it working for android!! If you are comfortable with it, feel free to share here for other developers that may want to give it a try.

    Is this even possible? As a prior step I am unable to even reproduce the sample camera kit app functionality as per https://github.com/Snapchat/camera-kit-reference/tree/main/samples/ios/CameraKitSample. If I download the repo and/or copy all of it then it works! However, when I use the exact same code in another fresh xcode project, it just gives me a black screen even though it says it has camera and microphone access!
    Please see these error logs and maybe you or you can pass this on to your engineering team thanks!

... on and on and on ...

    Please let me know if you need anything else! I do not know what the heck LSAGLView is because I have not been able to find any documentation about it online whatsoever and am clueless/lost as to how to even begin debugging this issue.

    Please do note that the working functionality sample app has the same errors, with the exception of the api request timing out (dunno what that is 🤷‍♂️), and up till the [LSAGLView::drawTexture] LS::Exception: ... error

    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    I am aware that y'all, Snapchat, have some header file called LSAGLView.h from what I was able to glean online (https://github.com/ipadkid358/Snapchat-Headers/blob/master/LSAGLView.h) which has this same exact -(void)drawTexture:(id)arg1 ; but again lost as to where this file is, why it is attempting to use a deleted framebuffer, and how to go about telling it to stop doing that lol.

    We don't have an official support for React Native. Sharing with our eng team still to see if they have the bandwidth to look into this though. Will reply here if there's any updates.

    Could you give us more details of your issue? ie it's working on android but not iOS?

    Yes, it is working on Android but I am facing the issue in IOS that @Tushar faced.

    i.e Backtrace:
    [error] Error, [LSAGLView::drawTexture] LS::Exception : [LSAGLView] attempt to use deleted framebuffer

    I am facing the above issue when I try to integrate a Camera Kit into a new IOS project.

    We discussed a workaround to this issue on a different thread:

    As mentioned on that thread, besides the workaround, the Camera Kit team is discussing ways of avoiding this issue by restructuring the example provided in the iOS Sample App.

    @orbsquare hey there, how are you? Hey I am facing this challenge and need to integrate Snapchat into a React Native Bare Project. Have you tried that? Do you have any good documentation on how to do it? Thanks

    @luchogeoj Apologies for the delayed response here! Currently we don't have an official React Native support. However, here's a community member who recently shared their React Native bridge for Camera Kit you can check out!
