Asynchronous API Changes (v85+)

With v85 of Spark AR Studio the current JavaScript API will be deprecated in favor of asynchronous APIs.

With v85 of Spark AR Studio the current JavaScript API will be deprecated in favor of asynchronous APIs.
This means some APIs will be deprecated and will need to be replaced in your projects. When creating new projects, new APIs should be used instead.
What happens to existing projects
APIs will be deprecated after 6 months in existing live effects, and 3 months in resubmitted projects.
If you’re using a deprecated API, you’ll:
1.See a message in Spark AR Studio when you open the project.
2.Get an email and notification to let you know how to update it.
