Black Screen on Samsung S20

I have been reading all over about the issue with the black screen and the ar camera in Unity. I have the issue on my phone, and I do not seem to be able to get rid of it.

 

Is there some central source looking into this issue because there seems to be no consistent fix. Any that I have seen I have tried and it has not worked.

 

I don't want to update, Unity, it was working with this version. I can't tell what change made the difference.

I do not have ARCore selected because it requires me to upgrade Gradle, I tried that, it didn't work and next would be to upgrade Unity which I do not want to do

 

Unity 2019.4.17

Vuforia 9.8.5 

Galaxy S20

SM-G980F

Further to this I have tried a number of other things. I backed up the source and then upgraded to 2020.3.21 and Vuforia 10.2

Nothing changed.

I then tried forcing the camera on and this then disabled the webcam on the development PC. I commented out that command but it won't come back. 

I have seen this issue dates right back to 2012. And no solutions offered by PTC and any solutions tried have been flukes and do not work all the time.

I would assume that given this issue has been around for sometime, someone should be able to address the issue.

I do not have XR installed and thus have not installed AR Core as it is now depreciated by Unity. 

I did have the set the following line which was working fine

Vuforia.VuforiaBehaviour.Instance.enabled = true;

I was using this to turn it off when at particular screens.

I also tried opening a new screne and progressing from there, this did not work.

 

 

Hey there,

 

Make sure that the app you're building is built for 64-bit devices. Google is removing ARCore support for 32-bit apps on 64-bit devices: https://developers.google.com/ar/64bit

Ok that worked to get it going on the phone. However my webcam in dev mode is not working in Unity 2020, but in Unity 2019 the same error message is there but it works. "No webcam profile has been found" It was working. before in 2020.
