unity ARkit error: 'ArgumentException:An element with the same key already exists in the dictionary'

I was running the FocusSquareScene from the ARkit example folder via ARkit remote on my Ipad. When the program detects a new plane, the following error occurred:

ArgumentException: An element with the same key already exists in the dictionary.

I know it is caused by inserting duplicating keys into dictionary and I noticed on the Hierarchy panel there are multiple new created objects with same 'key' when the project is running:


And it leaves a lot of planes on the scene:



... I did not change anything in this example project and the same error happens in the other project I am working on using ARkit.

I have to use ARkit to complete a project and any help will be greatly appreciated !!! Thank you !!!

 

I get the same problem. using the unchanged unity remote scene on the device and the unchanged focusquare in editor from the Unity ARKitRemote package.

 

I get this too, is it just a Unity Remote issue? Have any you got to the bottom of it? Thanks

 

I had the same issue, a quick fix was to change UnityARKitPlugin/Plugins/iOS/UnityARKit/Helpers/UnityARAnchorManager.cs AddAnchor() to check if it already had an anchor of the same name.

Change this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public void AddAnchor(ARPlaneAnchor arPlaneAnchor) {
3.             GameObject go = UnityARUtility.CreatePlaneInScene (arPlaneAnchor);
4.             go.AddComponent<DontDestroyOnLoad> ();  //this is so these GOs persist across scene loads
5.             ARPlaneAnchorGameObject arpag = new ARPlaneAnchorGameObject ();
6.             arpag.planeAnchor = arPlaneAnchor;
7.             arpag.gameObject = go;
8.             planeAnchorMap.Add (arPlaneAnchor.identifier, arpag);
9. }
10.  

To this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public void AddAnchor(ARPlaneAnchor arPlaneAnchor) {
3.            if (!planeAnchorMap.ContainsKey(arPlaneAnchor.identifier)) {              
4.                       GameObject go = UnityARUtility.CreatePlaneInScene (arPlaneAnchor);
5.                       go.AddComponent<DontDestroyOnLoad> ();  //this is so these GOs persist across scene loads
6.                       ARPlaneAnchorGameObject arpag = new ARPlaneAnchorGameObject ();
7.                       arpag.planeAnchor = arPlaneAnchor;
8.                       arpag.gameObject = go;
9.                       planeAnchorMap.Add (arPlaneAnchor.identifier, arpag);
10.            }
11. }
