Google recently updated the AR Stickers app for the Pixel 2. Unfortunately, simply installing the latest APK will result in a Parsing Error.

The new version includes stickers for the Winter Olympics.

A workaround I've found to get them working is to do the following:

*pre-requisite: you must be rooted and be running Magisk with the latest Magisk manager*

1. Remove any Google Camera mod you're currently using
2. Download the latest GCam Magisk mod from the Essential Phone forum here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/themes/magisk-based-gcam-port-ar-sticker-t3730837
3. Install the module via the Magisk manager and reboot
4. Reinstall your chosen version of Google Camera. For me the version that works best on the Exynos S8 on Oreo is the S7 release from @miniuser123 which you can download here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
5. Win

I don't know if this will work on Nougat or if it will work on other devices but let everyone know below.

I have an example image attached.
