🐵 Animoji app using Apples AvatarKit

SBSAnimoji

Fooling around with Apples private framework AvatarKit, the framework used in Messages.app for recording Animoji videos. If you are looking to create your own Animoji, take a look at SBSCustomAnimoji.

Mentions in the news:

• 9to5mac
• The Verge
• Cult of Mac
• Lifehacker
• MacStories
• PhoneArena

What you get

• Record Animoji videos of up to 60 seconds. Previously 20 seconds. Thanks, Khaos Tian!
• Share your Animoji videos with the native share sheet.
• Export videos to your photo library from the native share sheet.
• An example of how to use Apples AvatarKit.

What you don't get

• Error handling. Should you encounter an error, try restarting the app.
• Support for the simulator. Run the app on your phone instead.

Notice

This project relies heavily on Apples private API and you should therefore not try to submit this code to App Store.

sbsanimoji's Issues

ALPHA BG,or Custom Color, or Blue, or Green BG for Exported Animation?

I just got a new iPhone XS yesterday (Feb 7, 2019)... and I'm a Apple iOS App Developer (Designer name: John Avatar)....

1. How can I export the Animoji animation with an ALPHA background, or have a color background (not white), any custom color, or blue, or green, so I can "Green Screen" (or blue) out the background to end up with only the Emoji characters in a video?

I was looking though the code trying change the export with a Blue BG, I'm able to get the view in Blue, but the export changes that to white!

This is a great fun app! Thanks dudes!

Question

How did you got hold of Apple's private API and I want to create an Android version of this app so I was thinking of using react, will it be possible?

Update for Memoji?

Is it possible to get an update that supports Memoji?

IOS 13.3 compatible ?

Hi, I'm trying to compile to ios simulator and it failed, is it now not supported in ios 13.3?

Video Quality

Any chance to get a better quality like the original app ?

Trouble to build the app

hello ! i have some trouble to build the app on xcode, any suggestions ?

ld: warning: ignoring file /Users/jules/Documents/SBSAnimoji/Frameworks/AvatarKit.framework/AvatarKit.tbd, missing required architecture x86_64 in file /Users/jules/Documents/SBSAnimoji/Frameworks/AvatarKit.framework/AvatarKit.tbd Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_OBJC_METACLASS_$_AVTPuppetView", referenced from: _OBJC_METACLASS_$_SBSPuppetView in SBSPuppetView.o "_OBJC_CLASS_$_AVTPuppetView", referenced from: _OBJC_CLASS_$_SBSPuppetView in SBSPuppetView.o objc-class-ref in SBSPuppetView.o "_OBJC_CLASS_$_AVTPuppet", referenced from: objc-class-ref in MainViewController.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Question about maximum time limit

How did you decide on 20 seconds and eventually 60 seconds as the maximum time limit? Does it overheat the phone or put an excess strain on the device to use an arbitrary time limit?

iOs Beta Versions

Hello and thank you for such an amazing and necessary compliment to a sweet new feature :-)

I am trying to load the app from xcode Beta version 9.2 while running iOs 11.2 Beta 4 on my iPhone X. . . I am receiving this message:
** iOS Deployment Target '11.2' is newer than SDK 'iOS 11.1' in target SBSAnimoji / Code will load on this and later versions of iOS. Framework APIs that are unavailable in earlier versions will be weak-linked; your code should check for null function pointers or specific system versions before calling newer APIs**

Please advise with any and all help you are able to provide with this issue. Thank you.

Swift version?

Is there a swift version of the code? Or is someone willing to collaborate to make a swift version of the code?

How do we download this?

I am extremely interested in this code and would like to download it to my iPhone X. How would I be able to download it? Which items do I download? Do I install it as a profile? Please let me know. Thank you.

Non iPhone X support

First of all, NICE ONE!
Is it only for iPhone X or does it use a face detection library like Snapchat (for example) uses?

Thanks

Question : Is this the same like animoji studio ?

Thanks
