Problem with AR

Unity Engine

Hi !
So let me just start with statement that I am very new to Unity… I managed to install Unity 2022.3.12f on my Mac machine (failed on Linux) and everything looked ok, and then I imported mapbox_sdk_unity pckage and then I got following 5 problems which have something to do with AR (my target platform in Android at the moment)…

Assets/GoogleARCore/SDK/Scripts/ARCoreBackgroundRenderer.cs(43,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name ‘ARBackgroundRenderer’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Assets/UnityARInterface/Scripts/ARCoreInterface.cs(51,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name ‘ARBackgroundRenderer’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Assets/GoogleARCore/SDK/InstantPreview/Scripts/InstantPreviewManager.cs(32,23): error CS0234: The type or namespace name ‘SpatialTracking’ does not exist in the namespace ‘UnityEngine’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Assets/UnityARInterface/Scripts/ARKitInterface.cs(26,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name ‘ARBackgroundRenderer’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I would imagine this has something to do with Unity… Do i need to install something more to support AR… I am trying to go through Mapbox Tutorial, because this is project that I will be using in future for my "game experiment’…

Thnak you in advance for any help.
Andy

These aren’t our scripts and the missing references don’t appear to refer to our API. I recommend that you reach out to whomever authored the tutorial.

I googled your question, and it seems that this is a known issue with Mapbox: 'ARBackgroundRenderer' could not be found

Thank you for your help. After your message I did some investigation myself, and it seems like mapbox-unity-sdk has no development team anymore, which means that it will obsolete sooner than later…

At the moment it is still usable, but only if you don’t import any of AR modules (or if you use Unity 2019), which will probably make it very unusable especially for beginners like myself.
