Hi, I’m trying to make a project with Content Authoring for Android following all the steps in the documentation:
https://lightship.dev/docs/beta/ardk/how-to/real_world_location_ar/
But when previewing in Unity I get the error: “NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object”. It is exported but on my Android the camera stays black, it does not activate. What am I doing wrong? I even give camera permissions from apps on my device but it doesn’t work. Thank you!
