Im using Unity 2017.3b8 and using Vuforia with image targerts.
It seems that the current Vuforia Version if the application is running on a ARKit ready device will disable the autofocus / the ARkit integration is disabeling it.
This makes it nearly impossible ot use it with image marker that are around a normal A4 size or smaller since the iPad Pro camera for example never focuses on a reasonable distance to such markers.
Is there any way to disable the Integration or overwrite the autofocus behavior?
Setting the Camera focus mode to FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOSAUTO will result in a sucsess massage in the XCode console but no actual result (no working auto focus).
And not going back to 2017.2is not an option since the app has to build to Andorid too and 2017.2 has a massive not fixed bug with realtime shaddowson most Android devices.
Also looking for solution to this problem, only some VuMarks will work with this issue, due to loss of focus. This issue makes VuMark recognition unusable.
Will this be corrected in the next Vuforia release?
I think Vuforia should reconsider being tied to Unity releases to update the Vuforia library or have a method for a Vuforia SDK hot patch while waiting for a Unity release.
