How to make an AR App: Plane Detection & Add Character (Unity + Lightship ARDK 3 tutorial)

Описание: Thanks for watching my journey. I want to build the most exciting AR Experiences including Games, Movies and useful Apps. My background is mainly in 2D / 3D Animation using Blender and After Effects, but I always loved the idea of Augmented Reality. Furthermore, I liked to code. So in late 2022 I decided to learn Unity and get deeper into AR Software Development. Let's see how far we can come :)

XCODE for Mac & iOS:

Android Studio for Windows / Mac and Android (Will automatically install Java SDK & Gradle), can be useful to save manual downloading and upgrading:

Build settings for Lightship (Android & iOS):

Note: In the video I forgot to mention that for the build-settings on Android you need to at least have Android Version 24 selected, otherwise you will get and error message.

If you have a Gradle error, download Gradle 6.7.1 from this website and link to it in the Unity settings:
https://gradle.org/releases/

When you have a Mac, you can build to iOS and Android, on a PC you can only install to an Android device.
