Any considerations to bring in barcode scanning module?

Eventually we'd like to have all the MLKit Modules supported. BarCode is a somewhat low priorrity because Expo already has a BarCodeScanner module that works well.

Is there a specific feature in MLKit Bar Code scanning that isn't in expo's module? If so it might get bumped up the priority list.

Ohh yes, we have been using that functionality from Expo. But we encountered issues for android specifically where the barcode scanner somehow struggles to decode lower quality QR images compared to IOS. Therefore, we are seeking alternative react-native library with MLKit Bar Code Scanning feature.
