Solved , I Got the Same Issue java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service at android.hardware.Camera.<init>(Camera.java:497) at android.hardware.Camera.open(Camera.java:342) at com.google.android.gms.vision.CameraSource.zzchq(Unknown Source) at com.google.android.gms.vision.CameraSource.start(Unknown Source) , the error was the camera permission , you should use runtime permission to Access Camera . To Check if the permission of camera is the error ,After installing the app and it crashed ,Manualy open Setting --> Installed Apps --> get your app and check it's permission , if the camera not have a permission ,go to solve this problem by add Runtime permission . https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting
