thanks @Dylan_Smit !  
You’re right, there’s no need to bring anything to the project besides the ARDK, but the black screen is a kind of a generic issue, that can be caused by a whole lot of different reasons, from camera permissions to mesh placements. This [post](https://community.nianticspatial.com/t/build-of-a-example-scene-from-the-project-gives-me-a-black-screen/467/2) lists a bunch of common solutions that might help with that.  
And yea, seems that you might be following too many guides, how about you give [this one a try](https://lightship.dev/guides/lightship-basics/). That way if the error persists I should be able to reproduce it too.
