Waiting for the face detection module to be downloaded. Please wait.

[MyRui]

When For bundling the model in my app:
dependencies {
// Use this dependency to bundle the model with your app
implementation 'com.google.mlkit:face-detection:16.1.0'
}
}
I don't need download mode from google play store,need Model statically linked to my app at build time.
But now, when install app from android studio ,it still need to download the face mode? My app show the error : "Waiting for the face detection module to be downloaded. Please wait."

The trace:

Thanks for the report!

There's a bug in the latest 'com.google.mlkit:face-detection:16.1.0' library, please fall back to use the previous 'com.google.mlkit:face-detection:16.0.7' before we can release a new version.

[MyRui]

Thanks, previous version 'com.google.mlkit:face-detection:16.0.7' is ok

[zhouyiself]

We just released com.google.mlkit:face-detection:16.1.1, please help verify.

[zhouyiself]

Please reopen the issue if it's not resolved with the latest version.

[MyRui]

thanks, com.google.mlkit:face-detection:16.1.1 is ok.

Facing download issue again in 17.0.1

[rohilla17]

when we hard reset the phone, the ml kit 17.0.1 is not downloading in any case

[jackqdyulei]

Hi rohilla17, do you still have issue? If so, please provide following info so we can take a further look.

• device info
• gmscore version

Please noted current face module is large so it takes time to download.
