After 7 days of various beginner tracks, this was the only one that has me grinning at my phone finally (yeah, it's just a white cube but it's THERE!). Thanks so much!

Do keep making tutorials like this. Our thesis project involves AR and you happened to be here at the exact moment.

Thanks for making this - but for the latest builds of Unity and AR Foundation, this is already out of date. AR Origin has been deprecated and replaced by XR Origin. By default, the XR Origin also adds an Audio listener. I am not sure which Unity version they made the change in, but for at least 2022.2.2f1 (not sure when the change happened), the player settings have also changed. *edited to correct info about changes.

Thank you! After following this tutorial and the External link for Android building i was able to get past the black screen in the BG and "App keeps stopping"

Along with fixes of the issues i was facing, I learned alot about the fundamentals of setting up a BASE scene to get started with AR in UNITY

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!
😅
Cheers.

Any additional changes needed with "arsessionorigin has been deprecated use xrorign instead" under the arsession object?

[wadewarman]

Your tutorials are really, really good!

[panqupower]

Can you control character animations from unity in xcode, for example idle, talk, and dance? Been having trouble in reality kit.
