Crosspost - Camera not focusing only on Pixel 2 or 3

By cdrakep on Thu, 04/25/2019 - 13:16
Vuforia SDK Version: 8.0.10 - Description with steps to reproduce: What's up, I'm using Vuforia 8.0.10 on Unity 2017.4.24f1, and iOS looks/works great, but on Android, and ONLY on the Pixel 2 and 3, the camera doesn't focus. I haven't been able to googlestackoverflow any similar issues or fixes for just those phones not working. The galaxy, htc, and LG phones we've tested on all work perfectly. Any insight would be amazing, thanks! - Development OS (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux): OSX - Mobile OS and Version: Android - Mobile Device Manufacturer and Model name: Google Pixel 2 and 3 - Do the Vuforia Sample Applications show the same behavior?: Yes, according to the client, I do not have access to those devices

Hello,

The functioning of focus modes on a device is solely based upon the OEM's implementation. Vuforia does not have its own implementation, so our APIs call native OS APIs.

I built the app in Unity3d without the ARCore libraries in the project. Is there a way to force the app to not use the ARCore focus capabilities? 

Hello,

When using the Vuforia Engine Core samples, if ARCore app is not installed on device then Vuforia Fusion will not utilize the ARCore camera but the legacy camera.

Hello,

I just did a quick test using the 8.0.10 Vuforia Engine Core Samples with 8.0.10 Engine SDK using the Pixel 3. I used Unity Editor 2018.3.1f1 instead of 2017.4 as I was having unknown install issues with the latter.
