Description of the issue:

Hi,

I am following the “Set up Unity for VR development” guide to set up my environment in Unity. I have followed all the instructions on the page, but when I add the package Niantic Lightship AR Plugin 3.17.0-2512092207 on Unity 2022.3.62f2 I encounter four errors.

The errors are listed below:

  • Unable to import newly created asset : Assets/XR/Settings/AuthBuildSettings.asset
    UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()

  • System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for ‘Niantic.Lightship.AR.Editor.Auth.AuthEditorSettingsUpdater’ threw an exception. —> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for ‘Niantic.Lightship.AR.Editor.Auth.AuthEditorGatewayAccess’ threw an exception. —> UnityEngine.UnityException: Creating asset at path Assets\XR/Settings\AuthBuildSettings.asset failed.
    at (wrapper managed-to-native) UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(UnityEngine.Object,string)

  • Unable to import newly created asset : Assets/XR/Settings/AuthBuildSettings.asset
    UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()

  • System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. —> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for ‘Niantic.Lightship.AR.Editor.LightshipSDKProjectValidationRules’ threw an exception. —> UnityEngine.UnityException: Creating asset at path Assets\XR/Settings\AuthBuildSettings.asset failed.
    at (wrapper managed-to-native) UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(UnityEngine.Object,string)

I have also tried setting up the environment using Unity 6000.0.58f2 but I ran into 6 errors after adding the package Niantic Lightship Meta Plugin 3.17.0-2512092207.

The errors are listed below:

  • Failed to find entry-points:

I would really appreciate help in resolving these issues and setting up my environment.

Thank you.
