Vuforia 4.0 Beta with iOS 64bit support was announced yesterday:

Well it was fun guys.

Hi guys where is possible to find the 4.0 pricing?

Okay so basicly I can not submit my app untill vuforia comes with 64bit version...?

Wait wait wait! Only 4.0 is getting 64-bit support and 4.0 will cost money?

Also, an email I got today, which I assume most people here got, said "...is expected at the end of February"

I guess you might be right, i.e. the App must probably be accepted in order to be considered as "Published";  

however,  to be sure, you may want to check with Apple directly,  and see if they have any tolerance with the submission process for cases like this (i.e. "pending acceptance" and similar situations)...

Yes but if I publish the app for validation now, and that it gets rejected by apple after the 1st of february, I'm not sure if my new submission has to be 64 bits to be validated or if it's considered as an update of an existing app,,,

Probably worth reminding that if you upload your App before Feb 1st (for example a version based on Vuforia 3.0),  you're then allowed to Update your existing App until June 2015 without having to include 64bit support.

see:

After June 1st 2015, however, the 64bit requirement will apply to both New Apps and Updated ones.

Oh.. that's a terrible news :( it means that if we started and budgeted the development of an app with Vuforia 3.x (which is free for what we are doing), we're forced to port our app to the paid v4 to be able to publish to the appstore from the 1st february :(

And will this 64 bits version be a Vuforia 3.x or will it be for the 4.x beta only  ?

64bit support for iOS will be included in 4.0 (final version, not the Beta),  which is expected to arrive in a few days. There is no plan for a 3.x release supporting 64bit.

(cannot confirm the exact date, but it should be roughly very close to the deadline).

The Vuforia app we developed for one of our big customer has just been rejected by Apple for the classic "2.12 Apps that are not very useful, unique, are simply web sites bundled as Apps, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected" reason, as it seems it's quite hard to have them accept an AR app... and it left me with very little time to change it before this 1st february deadline...

Please let us know if there's a slight chance to see a 64 bits compatible version (unity plugin) before the deadline... And will this 64 bits version be a Vuforia 3.x or will it be for the 4.x beta only  ?

We also have a client that requires us to submit an iOS AR App in early Feb.

Anyone please kindly let us know if there's any update on this issue?

Many thanks!

Days ago I contacted the support and they gave me the information that the release of 64-bit support will be in January, 27, approximately. But this date wasn't confirmed and could change. We need to wait a bit more.

I agree! Only 9 days to the deadline...please tell us something
