Play store submission error with com.google.ar.core

By noclews on Tue, 07/10/2018 - 02:17

Hi all,

I compiled my app with vuforia support and tried to upload it to the store. However, I encounter this error. 

The ARCore dependency minimum version code com.google.ar.core.min_apk_version is missing from the AndroidManifest.xml file although the meta-data tag com.google.ar.core has been specified.

The thing is that I did not enable ARcore support in XR Settings, so there is no reason to specify arcore related specs. I also exported my project and checked the manifest file, but there was no com.google.ar.core metata tag at all.

Now I am completely stuck to this problem. Can you please provide me some insights?

I m using unity 2018.1.7f1 and vuforia 7.2.20

 

Cheers,

 

 

I ran into this problem also. Imported the .aar file  to Assets/Plugins/Android directory.

Now I can upload the app to Google Play Store

BUT this version DOES NOT RUN on my testing phone, Galaxy 8 SM-G950U1

Any ideas?

 

[SOLVED v2]

I had the same problem, I followed all the instructions below and my APK uploaded fine to Google Play but it crashed on my Samsung S8.

I have Vuforia 7.2.23/Unity 2018.1.2f1

Here is what I did to fix it (note that I am NOT using AR-Kit in my project):

Hello all,

It is correct that the Vuforia Extension for Unity will write ARCore parameters into the Android manifest file. This means that unless you export your app into Android Studio and build there, there is no way to remove these from the manifest file when building with Unity.

Hello,

With Vuforia Engine 8.3, we've added a new configuration setting to specify whether ARCore is be required, optional, or not used at all in an Android application. This can be found in the DeviceTracker section of the Vuforia configuration.

Thanks,

I was having the same issue. I would get the same error message when trying to put it on the play store. I believe my issue may have been caused by merge conflicts.

Ok, I ran into the problem again. Reinstalling Unity seemed to be what fixed it. I think the Vuforia Android Wrapper in the Unity install files becomes corrupted somehow.

Please, could you explain, how to fix this problem. The ARCore dependency minimum version code com.google.ar.core.min_apk_version is missing from the AndroidManifest.xml file although the meta-data tag com.google.ar.core has been specified) in Unity? Thank you

I found that a combination of pvirtual and eduardFrikiwiki's solutions fixed the issue.

I added these two lines to the AndroidManifest.xml file, immediately after the <application> line, as eduardFrikiwiki did:
