Adding ARDK to Unity

How to import ARDK into Unity.

Note

When using Unity 2020 on M1 Macs, an ARDK patch is automatically applied when importing ARDK into your project that disables some ARDK functionality. For more details see “Developing on M1 Macs” in Development and Runtime Requirements of ARDK and Troubleshooting.

Steps

The easiest way to add ARDK assets to a Unity project is to import it as a Custom package.

  1. In the Unity Editor, choose Assets > Import Package > Custom Package to open up a file selection window.
