I have an application built in Unity 2017.4.15f1 (now migrated to 2018.3.0f2) using Vuforia version 7 (now migrated to 8.1) that I'm attempting to build with arm64 such that I can publish it to Google Play. I was able to build the application with arm64 on Unity 2017, but the camera was just a black screen when testing. I looked around and found out that 64-bit hadn't been properly supported until Vuforia v8 in Unity 2018.3. After migrating my project and attempting to build with arm64, I was greeted by this error message:

I've tried multiple later versions of Unity and Vuforia, reinstalling Android SDK and NDKs, changing my Api compatibility level and scripting runtime versions, and even trying non-64-bit architectures. But this error seems to persist on 32-bit builds as well! Let me know if you know how to solve this issue or know of a good work-around of some kind, because I'm stuck. Thanks!
