Has anyone been able to make Vuforia work on Windows or Mac in a standalone app?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to build a Vuforia based app for Windows and Mac platforms, but having zero luck making it work in the built app. It works fine in the editor.

    I've tried all of the demos and all of the example code I can find online.

    Am I wrong about this? Is editor support only there so you can develop phone apps easier or something?

    Does Vuforia actually work in a standalone non-phone Unity app? I just need to know if I'm wasting my time on this or not.

    Okay to answer my own question, it is not supported at this time. Only UWP works on Windows and there's no Mac support.

    This is still the case now. You would think after 5 years they would make this possible due to the growing demand. I suppose its just not worth their effort.
