Hey there,

There are a few options you could go through to solve the issue. The options would be:

• Build a 64-bit Unity app
• Include an older ARCore version
• Disable ARCore

I wrote a technical article to make it easier to understand the issue and how to solve it.

I tried ahmedpasics solution - but then I get the message:



"ARMv7 is not compatible with the ARCore version included when using the "Include ARCore Library" option in the VuforiaConfiguration. To use an older version of ARCore which supports ARMv7, please include ARCore manually in your project instead."



When I read the manual about how to include arcore manually - the versions are really old and it seems like an outdated solution?



What am I missing here?

Hello,

I have found a solution

I struggled also long with it, after upgrading from Vuforia 9 to 10 android apps had black screen

After trying many things the solution was for me doing this steps:

- Removing graphic API Vulkan and using GLES3 and GLES2 in player settings

- Uncheck include ARCore in Vuforia Configuration

- Adding ARCore in Unity Project Settings> XR Plug-in Management> install XR-plugins then check the ARCore box

Actually I didn’t do any thing regarding target architectures , so I checked both ARMv7 and ARM64

And now the app is working fine on android

same issue from my end. works fine in unity but when I install it in my android phone it displayes black screen. the app asked for camera permission, allowed it but still black screen. 

Hi.

I don't think we had the same problem but I'm going to give you my solution I figured out. In project setting instead of Mono scripting backend I used IL2CPP and targeted both ARMv7 and ARM64 architectures. I hope this helps someone who has the same problem.

I'm having the exact same issue, 4 of my applications just stopped working on my android device (Samsung Galaxy S20+[Exynos]) and display a black screen.

After some debugging i found a few things -

* I'm receiving 7 errors, starting with "Positional device tracker failed to initialize." and then the rest is Vuforia failing basically.

after uninstalling Google Services for ARCore, i was able to receive a feed from the camera, though i now got only one error- "SmartTerrain failed to initialize".

I would really appreciate a quick fix, as i mentioned- i have 4 applications failing to start on some devices, 2 of them commercial at the company i work in.

Thanks!

Hello,

sorry for the late reply. I just tried the Vuforia Core Samples and the AR camera works fine. On my project (the one where the camera isn't working) I use Unity 2020.3.16f1. I also tried it on Unity 2019.4.29f1 and that version isn't giving me better results. Since the samples work fine, I wonder what the difference is. Is it possible to fix it without always importing this Core Sample Asset?

Thanks in advance, Ahmed Pašić

Hey there,

Would you be able to build the core samples and see if the issue keeps arising? And which Unity version are you running? Also I recommend to make sure that ARCore is updated to the latest version.
