arkit_plugin 0.2.1

Flutter Plugin for ARKit - Apple's augmented reality (AR) development platform for iOS mobile devices.

arkit_flutter_plugin

Note: ARKit is only supported by mobile devices with A9 or later processors (iPhone 6s/7/SE/8/X, iPad 2017/Pro) on iOS 11 and newer. For some features iOS 12 is required.

Usage

Depend on it

Follow the installation instructions from Dart Packages site.

Update Info.plist

The plugin use native view from ARKit, which is not yet supported by default. To make it work add the following code to Info.plist:

    <key>io.flutter.embedded_views_preview</key>
    <string>YES</string>

ARKit uses the device camera, so do not forget to provide the NSCameraUsageDescription. You may specify it in Info.plist like that:

    <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
    <string>Describe why your app needs AR here.</string>

Write the app

The simplest code example:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:arkit_plugin/arkit_plugin.dart';
import 'package:vector_math/vector_math_64.dart';

void main() => runApp(MaterialApp(home: MyApp()));

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  ARKitController arkitController;

  @override
  void dispose() {
    arkitController?.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('ARKit in Flutter')),
      body: ARKitSceneView(onARKitViewCreated: onARKitViewCreated));

  void onARKitViewCreated(ARKitController arkitController) {
    this.arkitController = arkitController;
    final node = ARKitNode(
        geometry: ARKitSphere(radius: 0.1), position: Vector3(0, 0, -0.5));
    this.arkitController.add(node);
  }
}

Result:
