Description of the issue:

Hi,

I would like to install both ARDK3.13 and Lightship maps 0.40.0 for my project. But I have trouble with finding the working unity version.

I first successfully installed ARDK3.13 via github url on unity6, but I cannot install maps 0.40.0 using the github url. See the error iLibrary\PackageCache\com.niantic.lightship.maps@fb4247cae53d\Editor\CustomEditors\MapThemes\MapThemeCustomEditor.cs(72,60): error CS0121: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'GenericDropdownMenu.DropDown(Rect, VisualE - Bug Reports - Niantic SDK for Unity Community

I found a similar issue Lightship Maps SDK, API Key : Help! - I’m Stuck - Niantic SDK for Unity Community mentioning Maps does not support Unity 6 yet.

Then I tried to install ARDK again on unity 2022. This time, I had the issue with ARDK first. “SimulationCamera” does not exist? - Bug Reports - Niantic SDK for Unity Community
The error occured both in Unity 2022.61 (later than 2022.3.61f1 recommended).

Later, I tried to first download the ARDK sample project to test. I think it should work with ARDK. I had to change the engine to unity6 to work. But when using unity 2022.61. It had the same error like the previous one.

My question is which unity 2022 version is recommended for letting both two plugins work?

Best,
Zhenlin

Hello Zhenlin,

I’m sorry for the delay in replying back to you. We’ve recently noticed there was an issue with how support requests were syncing with our system on our backend and it caused some support requests to fly under the radar.

At this point in time we have released NSDK 4.0 and I would highly encourage you upgrade to it if you haven’t done so yet and are still working on your project. The only version of NSDK 3 that will be supported is 3.17, but only for an additional year with support ending in February 2027.

Additionally, you might already be aware that Maps has been discontinued and any users looking for similar functionality would need to turn to 3rd party solutions such as MapBox .

If you need to stay on NSDK 3 a bit longer to prepare migrating to 4.0, please upgrade to 3.17 so we can continue providing support.
