I have exactly the same issue

[janet-rivas]

the only way I could by pass the error was copy paste the old folder when it used to work ../node_modules/react-native-vision-camera in my current project

I'm using this patch to download boost from another site for the time being, but not sure how reliable it is for the future

This is a downloading issue.

Nothing wrong with the code. Rather it looks like a server issue. Either there is an API throttling owing to too many download requests or the server is not responding to enable download. In my case, it downloaded successfully more than 5 times. But then it started to fail in subsequent app builds. In one case, it went till 50KB/125MB and then failed. During second try, it downloaded till 157KB and then failed again.

I think wait a little and try again. Or if in rush do a patch as shared by @RodSarhan

Had Execution failed for task ':react-native-vision-camera:downloadBoost'.
Fixed with @RodSarhan patch, cheers!
Download of :react-native-vision-camera:downloadBoost is just much longer now

Hey! I've rewritten the entire Android codebase of VisionCamera from CameraX to Camera2 in the efforts of ✨ VisionCamera V3.

I just now completed the Camera2 rewrite and I believe the core structure is running, but there might be some edge cases to iron out. Can you try and test the PR #1674 for me to see if you can still reproduce this issue here?

Here's an instruction on how you can test that: #1674 (comment)

If the issue cannot be reproduced with that version/PR anymore, then hoorayy, I fixed it! 🎉
Otherwise please let me know and I'll keep this issue open to keep track of it.

Thank you!
