Upon Build: The type or namespace name `Vuforia' could not be found

When building for IOS I get the following:

error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Vuforia' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

Any ideas?

 

Same issue here

 

Just needed to enable vuforia in the player settings for iOS. I thought the flag was the same for Android and iOS but I was wrong.

 

Please make sure you have the Vuforia Support enabled in the XR Settings for each platform you plan to deploy to.

Thanks!

 

Yes that does the trick. Thanks.

 

For those interested. I stumbled accross this problem, too. But in my case I have a project for mobile devices and standalone. I don't use AR in Standalone and got the compiler error there, too. I activated vuforia support for standalone, which solved the problem. Still feels awkward to enable this even though I don't use it there.

 

@TigerBooks you should try adding #if UNITY_IOS || UNITY_ANDROID to all references of vuforia, for exemple:

void Start()
{
// do some stuff
#if UNITY_IOS || UNITY_ANDROID
Vuforia.DoSomeARStuff();
#endif
}

anything within the #if UNITY_IOS || UNITY_ANDROID and #endif will only be compiled for ios and android.
Hope it helps

 

Does Cloud Build have this feature too? Tried cloud build for Android 2017.3.1 ... errors:

[Unity] Assets/Vuforia/Scripts/DefaultTrackableEventHandler.cs(10,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Vuforia' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

 

This worked for me too.

 

Error Error Error I downloaded the Vuforia sample from the asset repository and got exactly the same error for any platform

Please find attachment for Editor log file also...

Unity: 2018.3.0

 

Maybe in 2019 there is an update to Vuforia SDK and it's causing it to fail in Unity? I don't understand Vuforia, there does not seem to be an accessible or downloadable SDK -- perhaps this is my fault for finding and older (2017) tutorial and expecting it's underlying SDK to be open source or testable.

 

Hello @ericbintner,

The Vuforia Engine SDK is not a open sourced project. This is why you cannot access Engine code directly.

There is likely a mismatch between your SDK version, and the version of the samples being used. As the SDK evolves and APIs are created/changes, so do the samples to be compatible with them.

Here's how you can check the versions of both (assuming you used Vuforia samples resources):

• SDK version: Unity Editor->Window->Vuforia Configuration
• Samples version: Unity Editor->Project window: Assets/Vuforia/version

I suggest you create a new project and download the most recent version of the samples.

Thanks,
Vuforia Engine Support

 

Hi, I'm having the same issue with Unity 2019.1.10f1
My SDK version is 8.3.8, and my samples version is 8.3.8. I have Vuforia Augmented Reality Supported enabled. And I've loaded the Vuforia Core Samples through the Unity Asset Store. I can't even follow along with a simple tutorial due to these CS errors. Is there something I'm missing?

 

Hello @Dipsoid,

From your description, things should work. I have to do the same workflow multiple times a week and have not had any issues that have blocked me from building and deploying our 8.3 Core Samples.

Perhaps one thing you can try is to deleted the "Library" folder in the root directory of your project. Do this when the project is closed. Then re-open the project. My understanding is that this forces Unity to reimport all assets and may help to resolve the errors. It's something I've done from time-to-time when I've been stuck by errors that I just can't resolve.

Thanks,
Vuforia Engine Support

 

Hi, I am currently trying to build a unity vuforia AR game and I see the message "Assets\Vuforia\Scripts\DefaultInitializationErrorHandler.cs(10,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'VuforiaUnity' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" I have read through this feed and have tried everything but it is still there?
Also running on the newest version of unity and 8.3.8 for Vuforia

 

I think you are not enabled the Vuforia support in Player settings -> XR Settings.

 

yep I figured that out. Always a simple fix.
