### I use VSCode and the patches are constantly failing during `npm install`
In case you use VSCode and are having problems during `npm install` caused by patch errors, e.g. `@onfido/react-native-sdk` and/or `react-native-vision-camera`, **please check if you have any Java-related extensions enabled in your editor**. In case you have it, try **disabling** them and running the steps specified above to have a clean install.

The reason is that some Java extensions are constantly creating files inside `node_modules` libraries and thus messing up with `patch-package` logic, so it’s advisable to keep them disabled in order to avoid such problems.
