### FAQ

## Why is `react-native-camera` not listed as a dependency in `package.json`?

`react-native` uses `metro` for dependency resolution. In order to not recursively install this example into the `node_modules` of this example we use `rn-cli.config.js` to resolve `react-native-camera`. This also allows a quicker iteration when developing (without having to `yarn install` after every single change in `react-native-camera`).
