2021 LTS, imported their packages, attempted to build the Mesh Saver scene, same error. Just a fresh project with their packages imported.

Edit -
Had to follow this guide: Building ARDK Apps for Android — Niantic Lightship Augmented Reality Developer Kit release-2.4.2 documentation
I either missed it or it was not mentioned in the official environment meshing youtube tutorial I was following.

Now it builds and runs just fine, but when clicking on “Run AR” button, it just permanently goes to a full black screen, not sure why.

Hello @Xiaoyong I apologize for getting back to you on this issue so late. It looks like our system had flagged your original post, so it didn’t come through, and it wasn’t until B11 replied that it came on our radar.

Is this problem still persisting and if so, can you please provide a screenshot of the error message that appears in the error box when the build fails? The ones you posted come from the Console and they can sometimes be shared among different build errors so the one that appears in the error box would be very helpful.

@B11 If you’re still experiencing any issues do you think you can submit a separate topic on our community forums? Since you’re father along than Xiaoyong it would be more beneficial to address this in a separate topic.

Hello! I was encountering the same issue and I tried to fix it by following the steps in the guide of @B11 . I downloaded the gradle version 8.0.2. However I started having a different bug. I wonder if the gradle version that i downloaded is too new. The error is the following one:

"FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ‘:unityLibrary’.

Failed to notify project evaluation listener.

(I don’t know if this should be considered the same error or if I need to report a new one).

**Edit: Nevermind. I tried with the gradle version 6.7.1 and i managed to build the app. Now I have the same issue as @B11 but at least the other 2 bugs are fixed. Sorry for the disturbance

Hello @JC_Pardo_Medina ,

Similar to B11, can you create a new topic and with it outline the issue and include some android logcat outputs (specifically any error messages) so that we can take a look?
