react-native-vision-camera 2.5.0

Release 2.5.0

on Node.js Yarn

2.5.0 (2021-08-06)

After 14 beta versions it's finally here! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 2.5.0 includes A LOT of features and improvements. The highlights of this release are:

• 💪 Frame Processors are now stable on iOS and Android
• 🎉 VisionCamera now runs in Expo (EAS) apps!

Note: The android/ codebase now contains C++ code, which uses JNI. If you haven't already, you need to install the NDK plugin in Android Studio to build your app. (I think that's installed by default anyways, but double check if you have build issues)
