@GusevAG no, I didn't have to do anything special. The package already makes sure the modules are loaded after they are installed. facetimehd shows up as loaded for me and if I follow the guide here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_setup
I see the device show up:
$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
Apple Facetime HD (PCI:0000:02:00.0):
/dev/video0
It "just works" in any program that uses the standard access to /dev/videoX
@eblau wow, thats fantastic, were any additional tweaks required to make it run? because i cant manage to run it...
@GusevAG yes, the new version works for me. At least it works in zoom for web conferencing and the "lighter" tool I use for capturing ambient light levels and adjusting the screen and keyboard backlights still works fine.
I also have a 13" mid-2015 MacBook Pro. Here's the model:
Apple Inc. MacBookPro12,1/Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6, BIOS 186.0.0.0.0 06/14/2019
@eblau yes it does builds, but does it works for you? because it doesn't on 13" 2015 bmp
My apologies. I neglected to update bcwc-pcie-git. When I rebuilt the package, it updated to r259.9d7ff828ebe9-1 and installed successfully with linux-5.4.2.arch1-1.
I updated to linux-5.4.2.arch1-1 and am getting errors when rebuilding the module:

@GusevAG, hi, this is an error building the dependency facetimehd-firmware, not an error building this package. Since the error was in their makefile, I suggest you report that to the upstream: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/issues/new
PS. next time please paste the log using code format so it's easier to read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Comment_syntax

Wow thanks for the ultra fast fix!
Hi, could you remove the bcwc-pcie-git.install file? All dkms commands are already handled by ALPM hooks /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/70-dkms-{install,remove}.hook, so the bcwc-pcie-git.install file is not necessary. Furthermore, errors occur if the running kernel version is different from than the installed one, as commands in bcwc-pcie-git.install do not set the target kernel version:
Error! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 5.0.3-arch1-2-macbook cannot be found at
/usr/lib/modules/5.0.3-arch1-2-macbook/build or /usr/lib/modules/5.0.3-arch1-2-macbook/source.

NOTE:
Leaving this module running at all times may cause suspend/resume issues: https://github.com/patjak/facetimehd/wiki#known-issues
Consider blacklisting the module at boot and enabling it whenever you need to use the camera.
