ARCore on iOS

Due to issues with ARKit crashing our game, how would we go about using ARCore instead since it's compatible with some iPhones?

 

Have you followed the instructions here?

Please read the Google ARcore 'Quick Start' guide as it states that the ARcore support is only through cloud anchors - the IOS version of the ARCore sample apps uses ARKit still for IOS devices as ARCore isn't supported for anything other than cloud anchors on IOS

 

Thanks for the responses. Is there a way to do it with AR Foundation package?

 

There is an ARKit XR Plugin package (for use with ARFoundation), which is different than the ARKit plugin on bitbucket, but without knowing what the issue is, I can't say whether this will solve your problem.

Can you elaborate on the crash? A bug report with a project that reproduces the issue would be helpful, too.

 

It's this issue: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/hang-on-ios-using-arkit-xr-plugin

 

Does the ARKit XR Plugin package support AR Cloud Anchors or is there a compatible package for that? We have been struggling to get cloud anchors working in 2018 with the package system and AR Foundation to all live together.

This thread documents issue but not a lot or real help on core issue.

We've identified the problem and a fix is being worked on.

 

The only way to get cloud anchors currently is to use the plugin provided by Google. We plan to have feature parity with aARKi 2 and ARCore 1.3 by the end of the year.

 

How does that live with 2018 and the package system? Do we have to remove AR Foundation and the ARKit/Core packages and do them manually? That is what is not clear. How to do what you say in 2018.

 

You would not use ARFoundation or any of the AR packages in this case.
