Do all Android ARCore devices support ASTC?

    I noticed that on the Unreal page (https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/unreal/quickstart) there is a part telling us to export using ASTC... why isn't there such an instruction for Unity?!? Should I use general texture compression ASTC or stick to ETC2?

    Also since I am asking that... Do all Android ARCore devices play HEVC h.265 (1920x1080 30fps)?
    Should I encode to VP9?

    I was also asking this same question and this post was the first that came up, so replying for others who might be hung up on this. After some digging, it sounds like all OpenGL ES 3.0 devices support ASTC, and all ARCore devices support OpenGL ES 3.0. So yes, should be fine with ASTC in an ARCore game.
