Hello all. I recently started development with Vuforia on Unity and intend to target mobile devices. I am using an Android device now for testing. The app loads, the Unity splash screen shows up, and in the top right corner of the device, I can see a camera icon or a green dot, which seems to indicate that the app does indeed have access to the camera. However, all I see is a black screen. I have tried, but to no avail, the leads mentioned here: https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/android/black-screen-android-phone and here: https://medium.com/@patrick_scheper/how-to-fix-the-black-screen-issue-on-android-when-using-vuforia-engine-51c59cc4c9d8 (with the exception of disabling ARCore in editor since Unity doesn't let me.) Since I am very new to Vuforia and AR development as a whole, not that well versed in Android deployment and only intermediate in Unity development, I'm a bit at a loss when it comes to debugging such problems. Is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. In the
Thanks for the reply. In the Unity UI, trying to select DONT_USE on the ARCore Requirement dropdown automatically sets it back to OPTIONAL. It also checks the Include ARCore Library checkbox underneath if it's unchecked.
Where can I find the configuration file?
