    The simulator is particularly useful for testing apps out on the new iPhone XS/XS Plus without getting ahold of a physical device. I'm getting 5 compilation errors in Xcode when attempting to build to Simulator. Any chance this could get fixed? @jimmya

    Code (CSharp):
    1. Unknown type name 'CVMetalTextureCacheRef'; did you mean 'CVOpenGLESTextureCacheRef'?
    2. Unknown type name 'CVMetalTextureRef'
    3. Unknown type name 'CVMetalTextureRef'
    Note: I don't expect ARKit to run in the simulator. But I still want to test other aspects of my app in the simulator.

    Hi @_Daniel_

    The simulator does not support the camera which is required for ARKit.

    To clarify, I don't want the ARKit plugin to do anything in the Simulator. Just I don't want it to block the rest of my app from running in the Simulator.
