ARCore SDK for Android v1.29.0

Known issues

• None

Breaking & behavioral changes

• Beginning in November 2022, AR-enabled apps will no longer be able to acquire NDK images or image metadata. The SDK versions impacted depend on the specific function being called, see the deprecation announcement to learn more.
  • C: Calls to ArImage_getNdkImage and ArImage_getNdkCameraMetadata will always return nullptr for the AImage and ACameraMetadata objects.
  • Java: The Image object returned by Frame#acquireCameraImage() will be of size 0x0 pixels. Calls to Frame#getImageMetadata() will always throw IllegalArgumentException.
  • Unity (AR Foundation):
    • When using AR Foundation 2.1 (Unity 2019 LTS), calls to XRCameraSubsystem.TryGetLatestImage(out XRCameraImage) will always return false.
    • AR Foundation 4.x and later versions are unaffected, calls to XRCameraSubsystem.TryGetLatestImage(out XRCameraImage) will behave normally.
  • ARCore SDK for Unity (deprecated): Calls to Frame.CameraImage.AcquireCameraImageBytes() will be of size 0x0 pixels. Calls to Frame.CameraMetadata.GetAllCameraMetadataTags() will return an empty List<CameraMetadataTag>.
• ArImage#getCropRect() now returns a full-sized crop rectangle, i.e. all pixels in the Image are valid. See android.media.Image#getCropRect() for additional information.

Other changes

• hello_ar_java and hello_ar_kotlin: Changed an object's color when it is placed using SCREENSPACE_WITH_APPROXIMATE_DISTANCE to better distinguish objects placed using Instant Placement.

Bug fixes

• persistent_cloud_anchor_java: Added a missing build dependency to the sample. Fixes a bug where hosting any anchor would have state CloudAnchorState ERROR_NOT_AUTHORIZED even if the project was set up correctly.
