Contributions summary:Daniil primarily focused on migrating face, barcode, and text recognition functionality to Firebase MLKit. Their work involved significant code modifications in iOS-specific files (e.g., RNCamera.m, related manager files), as well as integrating MLKit libraries. Contributions include implementing MLKit-based face detection and barcode scanning, along with updating example projects to showcase the new features. This migration resulted in a breaking change by replacing Google Mobile Vision with Firebase MLKit.
