Hi, I'm super new to vuforia and unity. I recently updated my mac to Catalina. Whenever I add the vuforia AR camera to Unity and press Play, it causes Unity to crash and close. Is this just an issue with Catalina? I tried it on another computer that has High Sierra and it works fine. Anything I can do to fix it? Thank you.

Unity Vuforia AR Camera crashes on macOS Catalina
Hi Juniette11,
I have recently dealt with your exact issue, Unity would crash the moment it would try to activate a WebCamTexture, so using Vuforia AR Cameras is impossible.
This is actually a Unity issue, and a workaround does exist here: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/osx-unity-fails-to-ask-camera-permission-and-crashes-on-privacy-violation
The problem here appears to be that if Unity is installed through Unity Hub, the Editor will not be able to ask for permission to use the camera and would crash due to a privacy violation (in some cases, it's very inconsistent). Following the steps in the workaround (deleting Unity Hub, moving your Unity Install to your Documents folder and opening the Editor from there) and using Vuforia should allow Unity to ask permission for the camera and not crash.
I hope this addresses your issue! This was very frustrating for me!
Hi,
Please make sure that Unity/ Unity hub has permissions granted for the camera.
If this doesn't work, please go over following responses:
