WSA capabilities

Hi everyone,

I have some questions regarding the required capabilities to use Vuforia on the Hololens:

Why does Vuforia need internet access, if I use a device database and why does it need access to the microphone? 

It's like having a bugging device at the workplace.

Alright, the internet access is probably because of the camera calibration file that gets downloaded from time to time (wouldn't be a connection once be enough?), but why it needs the microphone capability is still a mystery to me, since I can't find anything about voice commands or something lik

Hello,

I believe these settings were shown/used in our sample app due to the functionality that it includes (voice commands). If your app or supporting services do not require these settings, then you should be fine turning them off.

Hi,

I get the error while using Unity 2018.2.7f1 and Vuforia 7.2.23 as well.

All I did was creating a new project, adding an AR camera to the scene and tried to build the project for Hololens.
