There are already a few older threads about this, but there doesn't seem to be a solution.
Under Android, every app using Vuforia takes at least 10-12 seconds from the splash screen until the app appears. Tested on reasonably fast mid-end phones (e.g. Pocofone, Snapdragon 845 with 2.8Ghz).
This also happens in the Vuforia samples.
The worst thing about this is that there is just a blank screen during that time. Assuming nothing can be done about the delay, is there at least a way to display a loading screen or something? (This may be more of a Unity question than Vuforia question).
How could i debug where the actual delay happens? If i take a look at the Android system log, the last output before the delay is the GPU capabilities, then 10-12 seconds nothing, then the next line is "Vuforia initialized". So i assume the delay is somewhere in Vuforia?
Thanks for any hints.
I found an older post that
I found an older post that stated that Vuforia tries to download a camera/device profile on startup. Apparently this has a timeout when the phone has no internet connection.
Hello,

Thank you for escalating this issue as it revealed a discrepancy between our legacy APIs and next-gen.
I've opened a ticket for review by our product and engineering teams.
