React native firebase mlkit face detector works on android but not iOS

Question

I am trying to implement rnfirebase mlKit vision but it only works on android, not iOS. I am taking a picture with react-native-camera and using data.uri to pass it to ml-vision. I am running react native version 0.63.3. I have followed the installation steps here and here I have tried everything I can find online but there isn't much.

my code is as follows but all I get in my console.log(faces = , faces) is an empty array so the forEach loop doesn't run

 const faces = await vision().faceDetectorProcessImage(data.uri);
      console.log('faces = ', faces);

      faces.forEach(face => {
        console.log('Head rotation on Y axis: ', face.headEulerAngleY);
        console.log('Head rotation on Z axis: ', face.headEulerAngleZ);

        console.log('Left eye open probability: ', face.leftEyeOpenProbability);
        console.log('Right eye open probability: ', face.rightEyeOpenProbability);
        console.log('Smiling probability: ', face.smilingProbability);

        face.faceContours.forEach(contour => {
          if (contour.type === VisionFaceContourType.FACE) {
            console.log('Face outline points: ', contour.points);
          }
        });
      });
