Hello, are there plans for an Xcode SDK, I don’t want to use unity but am interested in using the ARDK.

Hi Marcus,

Lightship relies on Unity as it’s essentially a Unity package (or asset) to facilitate the development of augmented reality experiences. That being said, you cannot utilize Lightship without Unity.

Kind Regards,
