iOS Builder for Windows - can't build with ARFoundation 2.1

With the release of ARFoundation 2.1 and its introduction to 3D Object and 2D Image tracking I'm getting this error, anyone else having this issue?

Problem shows without making any changes to the samples in git and building. Error didn't show for prior ARFoundation versions before these tracking features were introduced.

BOMStore_ReadFromFile(): Buffer_ReadFromFile() failed reading XXX\arfoundation-samples\Build\Unity-iPhone\ARReferenceObjects.xcassets
cartool: failed to parse XXX\arfoundation-samples\Build\Unity-iPhone\ARReferenceObjects.xcassets as an assets catalog file

Press any key to continue . . .

Tried building on Unity 2019.1.1f1

 

I'm also getting this error

 

If the project is built on a Unity-OSX instead the project will build fine. This only happens to projects built on Unity-Windows.

 

I encountered a error when i build in xcode



But it can build succes and run ok, unity version is 2019.1.3f1

 

Hey @bleed_123 , where you say you can build success, is that on Unity OSX and not iOS Builder for Windows? or what work around did you do to build on iOS Builder for Windows? Cheers

 

There is no workaround for iOS Builder at the moment. It's a bug with Unity-Windows building iOS project. The workaround for Windows-built xcode project is to go into xcode and manually drag the xcasssets folders into the projects from the iPhone-Build folder.

Here's my conversation with the developer of iOS Builder for Unity.

Thank you Louis for reporting this. I just came across the same issue while trying to build from Windows using iOS Builder. I was wondering if you could add a bit more details on what you meant with manually dragging the xcassets in Xcode. I opened the project with Xcode and I could see that the xcassets folders are located at the bottom in the Project Navigator, inside a folder named "Unity-iPhone". Their paths are correct and point to folders inside the build folder (the folder chosen in Unity as a destination for the build). I dragged those folders into the root of the project (using the Project Navigator in Xcode) but Xcode again complained that those folders didn't exist (see attached image).

 

Sure thing!

You need to actaully go into Finder and find the folder structure of the project and look for a folder called "Unity-iPhone", drag the contents from Finder to Xcode's folder "Unity-iPhone".

I've also just recieved email from the dev that he may work around the bogus project file from his end as well.

 

@LouisHong any Update on this from the Dev? And could you be so nice to let him know that there is a thread open maybe ha can then update us all on the progress

 

Maybe I'm missing something. I'm still getting the
ARReferenceImages.xcassets
not found error.

I tried to dragging it from finder to various places in xcode and error remains.

 

Okay, figured out exactly how it works. Basically the xcassets is not showing up as an assets catalog in the xcode project. The solution is as mentioned above to drag from the finder to the xcode project window.

Specifically:
1) drag from \Unity-iphone\ARReferenceImages.xcassets to \Unity-iphone (ie don't copy to root of project)
2) delete the original ARReferenceImages.xcassets (in the Xcode window)
3) check if type is now correct (on right pane type should not be asset catalog).

It also seems the color changes from a slightly lighter blue to darker blue when the asset type is changed (and thus correct).

 

Recently heard back.

 

Thanks for the update @LouisHong !

 

Hey guys, with the update for iOS Project Builder early July, ARF 2.1 ARReferenceImages.xcassets and ARReferenceObjects.xcassets still don't work for me. I didn't see any changes to this error in the update release notes, is it working for you or am I missing something?

I reached out to the developer but didn't get a reply in this instance. Cheers

 

The update with the fix comes after this update supposedly. Please read this email: https://forum.unity.com/threads/ios...ld-with-arfoundation-2-1.682771/#post-4715894

 

In my case, the ARReferenceImages.xcassets folder was empty - I just deleted it, and re-built within iOS builder, and it worked.

 

If you don't use Image Tracking that's a fine solution

 

or Object tracking, didn't check face tracking or people occlusion but I suspect it'd also fail.

Been 3 months since raising the problem with the developer

 

Any update on this? I'm getting the same issue...

 

Me too

 

Still getting the same issue...
