(Android) IL2CPP scripting backend seems to be not supported

I tried building an Arfoundation android sample with IL2CPP and it did not ask for camera permissions at all and hence failed. Once I changed to Mono scripting backend and re-deployed, it asked for permission.

There is a bug in Unity where IL2CPP strips the entire ARCore assembly when it shouldn't. That will be fixed in a future update, but for now you can workaround this by adding a link.xml file to your Assets folder. We do this in the samples project, and you can just copy this file:

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/arfoundation-samples/blob/master/Assets/link.xml

I just tested pulling a fresh copy of this repo and deployed it to a Pixel using IL2CPP. Works as expected (including the prompt for camera permission), so I suspect you're just missing the link.xml.

Thanks! Totally missed that file.

Hi. Has this issue been fixed by now? So I can close the issue.

The link.xml workaround is no longer necessary.
