AR development with Flutter

It has been a while since I tried out different plugins for building AR mobile applications using Flutter.

There are 3 plugins currently availabe on the pub.dev.

  1. ar_flutter_plugin

  2. arkit_plugin

  3. arcore_flutter_plugin

I tried them all using:

  1. Flutter 3.0.5 / 2.10.5
  2. iOS 15
  3. Android SDK 31

ar_flutter_plugin

It works well for both iOS and Android with the latest Flutter version for the AR object placement. Target to test out all different feature wrappers on both platforms.

arkit_plugin

The latest version was push 9 months ago but still I could run it after the Flutter 3.0 breaking changes. Not continue to test this since the multiplatform plugin ar_flutter_plugin works now.

arcore_flutter_plugin

The latest version was push 14 months ago and it is not ready for null-safe. Not to test further until there is any update from the community.
