ar_flutter_plugin_flutterflow

⚠️ Package discontinued

This package is discontinued due to the creation of a new plugin which use Sceneview instead of sceneform for the android part.

The new plugin is called ar_flutter_plugin_2 and can be found here:
- Pub.dev : https://pub.dev/packages/ar_flutter_plugin_2
- Github : https://github.com/hlefe/ar_flutter_plugin_2

This version is a direct adaptation of the original ar_flutter_plugin (https://pub.dev/packages/ar_flutter_plugin), maintaining all its powerful features and capabilities. This fork was created because the original plugin had not been updated since 2022.

➡ Changes include an update to the AR Core endpoint, a gradle upgrade, and compatibility with FlutterFlow.

🚀 I am working on moving away from Sceneform, which has been archived by Google, and instead using Sceneview Android version 2.2.1, which supports the latest versions of ARCore with Google Filament as the 3D engine. This offers support for model animations and many other improvements. You can follow the progress of this development on the sceneview-android branch and in this pull request.

❤️ I invite you to collaborate and contribute to the improvement of this plugin.

Fluterflow demo app

You can find a complete example running on FlutterFlow here : https://app.flutterflow.io/project/a-r-flutter-lib-ipqw3k

Installing

Add the Flutter package to your project by running:

flutter pub add ar_flutter_plugin_flutterflow

Or manually add this to your pubspec.yaml file (and run flutter pub get):

dependencies:
  ar_flutter_plugin_flutterflow: ^0.7.56

Or in FlutterFlow :

Simply add : ar_flutter_plugin_flutterflow: ^0.7.56 in pubspecs dependencies of your widget.

Importing

Add this to your code:

import 'package:ar_flutter_plugin_flutterflow/ar_flutter_plugin.dart';

IOS Permissions

• To prevent your application from crashing when launching augmented reality on iOS, you need to add the following permission to the Info.plist file (located under ios/Runner) :

  <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
  <string>This application requires camera access for augmented reality functionality.</string>
  
  

  
  

If you're using FlutterFlow, go to "App Settings" > "Permissions" For the "Camera" line, toggle the switch to "On" and add the description : "This application requires access to the camera to enable augmented reality features."

If you have problems with permissions on iOS (e.g. with the camera view not showing up even though camera access is allowed), add this to the podfile of your app's ios directory:

  post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        # Additional configuration options could already be set here

        # BEGINNING OF WHAT YOU SHOULD ADD
        config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= [
          '$(inherited)',

          ## dart: PermissionGroup.camera
          'PERMISSION_CAMERA=1',

          ## dart: PermissionGroup.photos
          'PERMISSION_PHOTOS=1',

          ## dart: [PermissionGroup.location, PermissionGroup.locationAlways, PermissionGroup.locationWhenInUse]
          'PERMISSION_LOCATION=1',

          ## dart: PermissionGroup.sensors
          'PERMISSION_SENSORS=1',

          ## dart: PermissionGroup.bluetooth
          'PERMISSION_BLUETOOTH=1',

          # add additional permission groups if required
        ]
        # END OF WHAT YOU SHOULD ADD
      end
    end
  end

In FlutterFlow :

Unfortunately, at this stage, it is not possible to carry out the procedure above within FlutterFlow. Therefore, it is necessary to publish your project with github and make the modifications manually. And then publish wih Github selected in Deployment Sources : FlutterFlow Publish from Github
