@PPLIN,

that "tip" is also mentioned here (and it affects Vuforia 3.0):

https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/unity-3-extension-technical-discussion/unity-454-455-46-and-vuforia-ios

Please note that Vuforia 4.0 is not affected by the "UIInterfaceOrientation crash" mentioned above.

I konow why.In iOS 7,NSString* orientation = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"UIInterfaceOrientation"];This returns nill.Simple solutions， NSString * orientation = @"UIDeviceOrientationPortrait"; 

Well, of course, before migrating it might be a good idea to make a backup of your project.

Then, you'll need to first read the migration guide (I posted the link in my previous post):

https://developer-beta.vuforia.com/library/articles/Solution/Vuforia-40-Migration

and its sublinks:

https://developer-beta.vuforia.com/library/articles/Solution/How-To-Migrate-Your-Existing-Apps

https://developer-beta.vuforia.com/library/articles/Solution/How-To-Migrate-a-Unity-Project

https://developer-beta.vuforia.com/library/articles/Solution/How-To-Migrate-an-iOS-SDK-project

Migration could cause a broken project. Or is it safe to update to the vuforia 4 beta ?

For those who might be interested in upgrading to Vuforia 4.0 (currently in "Beta" version), Vuforia 4.0 has built-in support for camera access check on iOS 8;

also, the Samples (native iOS and Unity) coming with 4.0 show how the camera access denied case can be handled.

Hi guys :)

I have followed your instructions on how to add the code, but i am getting errors in Xcode: 1. _CameraCheckDone", referenced from: 2. linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation).

Can you please tell me what i need to do or fix in order to make this work ?

Thank you

If you're targeting iOS (Xcode project), you should build on Mac;   building an iOS / Xcode project from Windows (even if Unity allows it ) is not suppoted with Vuforia.

I am also getting a black screen in my ipod touch 4g. I built the xcodeproj in windows and run it in xcode 5.
is there a difference building an xcodeproj in unity windows and mac?

thanks for the response!

@AlessandroB,  https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/unity-3-extension-technical-discussion/unity-454-455-and-vuforia-ios is directing to Account information page. Could you please update the link.

Thank you. 

If you read here;

https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/ios/ios-8-xcode-6-and-vuforia-30-compatibility

it tells you to add this snippet in the application: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method:

Then you can perform the camera access check proactively using some code like to the following:

and then to add this code in the UnityAppController.mm:

Also, make sure to Clean and rebuild.

But if you have already denied the access in a previous run, you need to go to Settings > Privacy > Camera and re-enable the camera access for your app.

Ya @AlessandroB, Your solution is working to solve the EXC_BAD_ACCESS error.

I have built Vuforia SDK 3-0-10 video sample with Unity3d 4.5.5 and Xcode 6.1. Still am getting the Black Screen issue.

To solve this  i have follwed link : https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/ios/ios-8-xcode-6-and-vuforia-30-compatibility and done changes in UnityAppController.mm  as mentioned in comment #3 . but no luck !!!

See this link:

https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/unity-3-extension-technical-discussion/unity-454-455-and-vuforia-ios

I downloaded video sample 3.0.10 and built it in XCode 6.1 (unity 4.5.5) and am getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS error. Upon a little search on forums I found a couple of links which mention that this error is because of orientation and so tried to open the mentioned link, https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/unity-3-extension-technical-discussion/unity-454-and-vuforia-ios

But this link redirects me to my user account page. Could you please update the link.

Also, is there a timeline when is Vuforia releasing the new version with black screen on camera mode fix and this issue fix?

Thanks!

Am attaching the EXC_BAD_ACCESS error screenshot for reference.

we are using Unity3d 4.5.5 and vuforia SDK 3-0-10 video sample and Xcode 6.1 .

Thanks for your input.

I was reluctant to upgrade unity because we export 3D models as asset bundles (unity3d format) and download them in the app on the fly. Unity does not have forward as well as backward compatibility when it comes to asset bundles. Updating all the asset bundles everytime with new Vuforia SDK version or Unity or XCode version becomes a pain. But now with iOS 8.1, I think migration to new versions is inevitable. Will try integrating the project in all new versions, vuforia 3.0.9, unity 4.5.5 and build it in xcode 6.1.

I hope there are no major changes for sometime now.

Let me check with updated unity 4.5.5 version.

Thanks for your response. 

Forgot to mention: as you mentioned that you are using Unity 4.5.0, 

in order to correctly work on iOS 8 targets, you should upgrade to the latest Unity 4.5.5 and to Xcode 6.

In fact, there have been several bug-fixes related to iOS 8 (and Xcode 6) starting in Unity 4.5.1 and up to Unity 4.5.5, as you can see in the releease notes of the most recent Unity versions:

http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-4.5.1

http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-4.5.3

http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-4.5.4

http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-4.5.5

So, it appears that 4.5.0 was still affected by a certain amount of bugs or issues with iOS 8, which have been corrected in the subsequent versions (the latest and most comprehensive of which is 4.5.5, as of today).

Are you targeting an iOS 8 device, but you are building with iOS SDK 7 in Xcode 5 ? AFAIK, iOS SDK 8 requires Xcode 6.

See also here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25815035/debug-ios-8-device-with-xcode-5-1-1

My project is for iOS 8 built in XCode 5.1.1 and Unity 4.5.0 and Vuforia video sample 3.0.7.

My project is for iOS 8 built in XCode 5.1.1 and Unity 4.5.0 and Vuforia video sample 3.0.7.

Hi all,

the reference article in the link you mention only applies when targeting iOS 8 devices and/or building in Xcode 6:

( https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/ios/ios-8-xcode-6-and-vuforia-30-compatibility)

if you are seeing black camera on iOS 6 or iOS 7 target devices (as vamshi reported that they are developing still with Xcode 5.1.1), then this is probably another issue (NOT related to the iOS 8 and Xcode 6 compatibility).

In this case, you probably need to reproduce it first with the Sample Apps (using the Vuforia samples correspinding to the SDK version you are using); if it only happens on your App, then you should first debug it and provide some hints on how to reproduce it and / or some useful  log messages describing the error condition  if possible.

Hai All,

I have done changes according to this reference link:  https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/ios/ios-8-xcode-6-and-vuforia-30-compatibility#top

still am facing the same black screen issue. Problem is not solved.

Can anyone help!!!

Below is the UnityAppController.mm of my Xcode 5.1.1 (i have edited).

	}
	else

     while (!CameraCheckDone) { }

	QCARUnityPlayer::getInstance().QCARSetOrientation([_unityView contentOrientation]);

Same with me. I tried to solve the problem with the same reference but no luck.
