Unity / Gear VR app closed unexpectedly

By kimeleon on Tue, 05/03/2016 - 11:38

Hi, I've finally successfully made the Gear VR / Unity AR scene work, following the tutorial here: https://developer.vuforia.com/library/articles/Solution/Integrating-Gear-VR-and-the-AR-VR-Sample-in-Unity-5-3-and-above  

and also the workaround solution here: https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/unity-extension-technical-discussion/gearvr-passthrough-camera-not-working-arvr-sample#comment-2062221

It works when it opens, but it only opens once out of every 7 or 8 times. The rest of the time it says "[Appname] has closed unexpectedly". I then try to put the Samsung S7 into the Gear VR headset over and over, between 7 and 10 depending on my patience, and at some point it does open, and it works. This is driving me crazy. I'm a designer not a coder, so don't have much experience knowing how to debug. Can anyone help me to learn how to figure out what's going wrong here?

Do you start with the main scene? Create a dummy scene and load the main scene from there. That solved it for me.
