    Is this possible yet? I need this for doing AR in lowlight conditions. I've been googling but can only find the open feature request on github.

    @jakobskote I also have this question. I've been looking, but to no avail yet. It seems that flashlight / torch on Android doesn't work when ARCore is being used.

    swell I just encountered this as well. I was able to fairly easily get the flashlight working on iOS when using AR Foundation, and I even figured out how to turn the torch on Android ordinarily, but when the AR is active I get the same as this link:
    https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/issues/356

    fwiw the repo that issue is on looks like this issue isn't specific to Unity, but is a limitation of ARCore.

    That is not supported by ARCore. Suggest following up with their team again on their Github.
