I'll just leave this here for future reference and other users like me who need the latest workaround: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/osx-unity-fails-to-ask-camera-permission-and-crashes-on-privacy-violation

Maybe there are 2 cameras in the scene? I also checked Vuforia Configuration, and checked Webcam setting

Thank you.

Hello Vuforia Developers,

I can not add new Public Game Object in DefaultTrackableEventHandler.cs script in Vuforia 8.6.7 with Unity 2019.2.17f

What is the REASON and SOLUTION for it?

Thanks

Hi,

I too am facing this issue and I had reported this crash issue to the unity team. They replied me back saying the crashes is not with the unity but is with the vuforia.

Thank You all for the answers.

Unity support had contacted and told me that it's a known issue with the macOS version.

And the problem accours due to missing permission of the camera.

They advised me to start Unity via Terminal instead of using Unity Hub.

This is the official workaround for this issue.

However there was no need for me to start Unity via Terminal. I just opened the Unity folder in the Applicatons folder

and started it with a double-click. On this way Unity prompted the access dialog for the camera and it was good to go.

Now after granting access, I'm able to open Unity via Unity Hub without facing the issue.

Check attachment to see the folder of Unity, what I'd used to start it.

 

How did you manage to get Unity in the application list of the privacy settings for the camera?

I just have predefined options of application and the access can get controlled by using the checkboxes (check attached image).

There isn't the option for me to add another application in the list.

Same thing happens with Unity 2019.2.15f1 and Vuforia 8.6.7 on MacBok Pro 2014 with macOS Mojave 10.14.6.

The Camera Preview for AR Camera is black and nothing can be seen here. Once pressing the play button Unity crashes

without an error prompt.

EDIT: I'd tried to use another AR SDK (don't want to advertise the name here) and could observe the same crashing behaviour.

Since Unity did crash while using both Vuforia and the other SDK, I suspect the issue on Unity side. I guess it all has to do with

the camera privacy permissions.

Unfortunately trying to grant access manually, by using the privacy settings of the mac is not possible (at least not for me).

You are just allowed to select applications out of a list using checkboxes. There isn't an option to enter applications, that

are not part of the list.



Obviously this bug exists since December of last year. I'm very thankful to have the possibility to test all these for free

and it really would be rude to put demands upon the developer but...  Both supplier aim the profit and give the possibility to test and use the software. The limitation of the free version is something,

what I'm absolutely okay with. I understand that Vuforia and Unity have to make profit somehow. Having a full limitation

through a bug is not helpful to strengthen the customer loyalty though.

Hello,

Is there any solution for this bug? I face exactly the same issue with Vuforia as everyone else in this thread. I can't find how to resolve it anywhere on the web:(

Please help.

Same this is happening to me too, and I can't grant Unity access to the camera in privacy settings.

MAC Mojave 10.14.6

Vuforia 8.6

Unity 2019.2.12f1

Hi.

I'm running into the same problem as well. I cannot give Unity access to use the camera, since it does not request for this.

Crashing when pressing play on macOS 10.15.1 w/ Unity 2019.3.0b10 and 2019.2.12f1.

Hi there,

I am also experiencing this on my Macbook Pro as well.

Mac 16"

Unity 2019.2.14f1

Vuforia 8.3.9

Mac OS 10.15.1

Using Vuforia Core Samples without editing anything causes the editor to crash on play. My only work around for the time being is to disable Vuforia. 

I have tried looking under the security & privacy tab in settings and I can confirm the camera permission is not listed. I have edited the info.plist file manually for camera and mircophone with no luck. 

Any update on the status of this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help/insights someone can bring to the table.

Hello,

I have the exact same problem on my Mac (tried MacOS Mojave and MacOS Catalina), latest Unity Hub version.

Unity Hub and Unity.app are allowed to access the camera in the privacy settings.

no error in the console..

Im having the same issue with High Sierra  10.13.6. I can't upgrade any higher with my current OS.

Following these instructions:

"I am confirming that allowing Unity to access the camera fixed this for me on Mac. The setting for anyone looking is under System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy Tab.  Select Camera and check Unity in allowed apps."

There is no camera to select.  I think i have the same issues but if someone knows how to allow the camera that would be great. 

Thanks

I am confirming that allowing Unity to access the camera fixed this for me on Mac.

Unity 2018.4.0f1

Vuforia 8.3.8

Mojave 10.14.4

The setting for anyone looking is under System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy Tab.  Select Camera and check Unity in allowed apps.

Hello @abbienew,

Unfortunately, the crash log does not tell us much regarding the source of the issue.

If you can provide us with a repro project, in the form of a zipped Unity project folder, so that we can try to reproduce locally this would be the best way forward.

Thanks,

Vuforia Engine Support

Unity doesn't show up on the Security & Privacy settings list, did you have this problem?

Hello @abbienew,

Thanks very much for the crash log. Very helpful to us.

I've escalated to the team for further review. I'll update this thread with any relevant updates.

Thanks,

Vuforia Engine Support

Hi guys

I have the same problem as well. As I set an Arcamera and play it ,unity suddenly crashed.

I have tried several computers with the same setup, and I get the exact same crash after the initial Vuforia setup and play in Unity.

I'm running Unity 2018.3.6f1 and Vuforia version from the Unity Installation (8.1.7)

Here is the process.

Activate Vuforia in my Unity project

Added an AR camera

Delete main camera

Added an Image Target

Click play to test

Unity crashed

Attach is a the Console report...

Hope to find out the solution.....

thx....

I've been having the same problem for a while now and I was hoping it would get fixed with an OS update. But no such luck so far.

All I have to do is create a scene with a target, a Vuforia ARCamera and hit play to make Unity crash to the desktop. Every time.

Any solutions, or suspicions as to what might be the cause ? Unity already has access to my camera.

Unity 2019.1.0b7 / Vuforia v8.1.7 / Mojave 10.14.5 beta

Thanks, R.

how you change the settings I do not find it

It's really work..THANKs Bro ... You saved my life...

**FIX**

I came across this issue and solved it by going into my Security & Privacy settings and allowing Unity to access my camera. 

Hi all,

Thanks for the reports and apologies for the inconvenience. I'll work with the team to see if we can determine what's happening.

-Vuforia Engine Support

Same here. No matter what I try, can't get Vuforia to work.

Old scenes or new ones, as soon as I press play Unity crashes to the desktop.

Unity 2019.0.10b7 / Vuforia v8.1.7 / Mojave 10.14.4 beta

very frustrating...

I have the very same issue. Unity 2018.3.5f1, Vuforia 8.0.10. Instant crash when hitting "Play" with a scene that contains 1 Directional Light, 1 AR Camera and 12 ImageTargets.

Crash log says "Can't add a nil AVCaptureInput". 

We are getting same kind of crash . ALL detail are in crash log. I just added ARCamera and hit play button , unity get crash. Hope You guys have some solution for this. I am trying since Five month but no clue. Only thing I feel is after updating to Mojave OS it started.

Hello,

Thanks for the response. The only crash I'm aware of is one while stopping PlayMode with Cloud reco in the scene:

https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/unity/v7520-crashes-editor

This issue is scheduled to be fixed in our next release (SDK 8.0, mid-Jan).

Is what you're seeing similar? Also, can you provide some details about your workstation setup (Mac/PC, OS version, type of camera)?

Thanks,

Vuforia Engine Support

Yes unaltered. It does not work on unity 2018.3, We tried 2018.2.9f does not work as well unity just crashes

Hello @Gaius,

Was this observed while running the Vuforia Core samples, unaltered?

Thanks,

Vuforia Engine Support

Hi, we faced a similar issue when trying to hit play on unity running vuforia. Please help. The attached shows the error log

Hello,

In all our testing I don't recall seeing this issue. Nor have I seen it recently on the forums (or maybe I just overlooked it).

Do the Vuforia Core Samples exhibit the same behavior?

Thanks,

Vuforia Engine Support
