    So this seems to be a common error with more than one cause
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37950316/vuforia-failed-to-initialize-on-android-l
    https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/qcar-api/failed-initialize-vuforia

    My application runs fine in the editor
    But after deploying to device my application launches but with the Vuforia popup error.
    Am targeting Android on a Samsung TAB S2.
    Latest unity Pro 5.5.1, OpenGLES2.0.

    Can anyone suggest next troubleshooting steps?
    It is definitely NOT the device since Vuforia test apps, and even earlier tests, deployed and ran without issue. Something specific to my Player, Project settings or perhaps some conflict with a 3rd party asset.

    Under the 'Vuforia' menu in Unity, click 'Configuration', then disable the 'webcam' setting.

    To solve this, I deleted the Vuforia folder from my project. Then created an ARCamera game object.
    you will be prompeted to import some required files, say yes.
    Once complete, vuforia should work properly.

    I have noticed this issue occurs when you are debugging while attached to unity and you stop debugging before stopping your play in unity.

    Hope this helps.

    Remove the AR camera and whichever type of target you have in your scene. Then remove the Vuforia folder in the project tab. Add another AR camera and target into your scene, and say yes when asked whether you want to import the Vuforia folder.

    Close and re-open Unity. This cleared it instantly for me. NOTHING else was called for. You'll save yourself a LOT of heartache and a lot of unnecessary work.
