This bug was fixed, however there is a related bug with the same error message when I try to import the Project Template with XR packages from .unitypackage into the New Unity Project: Error and Duplicated Folders when Importing XR Packages.

  • I created a bug report: IN-130919
  • 6000.4.0b4, 6000.3.3
  • AR Foundation 6.3.2

Thanks for the report. Confirming that your bug is currently open and awaiting QA review. If QA is able to reproduce the issue, it will get assigned to the appropriate team to implement a fix.

With AR Foundation 6.3.3 and Unity 6000.3.10, this bug still exists; additionally, I have the next message:

Parent directory must exist before creating asset at Assets/XR/Settings/XRSimulationSettings.asset.
UnityEditor.SettingsWindow:OnEnable ()
