Using the Amazon Firefly SDK on Android

I am doing large visual search research and I have tried technologies from Google (Goggles), Amazon (Firefly) and other vendors.

I can say that FireFly is actually the best because of its instant identification (no need to take a photo and send it to any server for processing) and also its ability to accurately identify products without scanning their barcode, which is fascinating ...

The point is, Amazon has opened the Firefly SDK, but only for their Fire OS phone. And you cannot use it for other android development.

However, I'm pretty sure this is not a hardware limitation, because Amazon has an app called Flow that runs on Android and iOS that uses the same identification technology, so I'm sure any camera can be used, not just one on your Fire phone.

Does anyone know if there is any way to use the Firefly SDK on Android? I know this might not be possible without some kind of reverse engineering for FireOS, but even at least it would be technically possible!

Thanks for your reply in advance.
