I noticed in the update log that face gestures are being installed on the 3.8.20 version and found it on my purchased mobile sheets app. I could not get an image on the test frame in the gestures section.
On the 3.8.21 update a note was made that face gestures was being removed from devices without true depth and A12 and higher processors. Does this mean that older iPads will never have gesture page turning?
I’m hoping this is just en route to equal access, even my 12.9’ gen 2 device.
Yours hopefully L

I'm not sure yet. I'm investigating being able to use separate libraries from Google on older iPads to get the same functionality. I'll post more details when I know for certain whether this will work out.

Wow, I did not expect this!
I have a gen 2 iPad pro 12.9 as well.
So thank you very much for trying this Mike!
Not many would make the effort of doing (trying) this!
Greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Rudy

I have some good news - it took a lot of work, but I was able to get the same library I use for Android to work on iOS. So this will be used on devices that don't support ARKit. This will be included with the next update which I'll be pushing out soon.

You should already be able to use the face gestures on Android 7.0 and higher devices now, as the updates were approved and are available. Unfortunately, I've gotten a number of reports of PDFs not loading properly with the latest iOS update. It turns out there is a conflict with Google's face detection library and the PDF library I use. This means I have to remove all the changes I made to support face gestures on older iPads until I can resolve this (which is not going to be easy).
