AR in LiveCode Browser?

[Dan Friedman]

Ralph,

I tried the link in the Google App (which I assume uses Chrome) on my iPhone.   It worked as expected, with total interaction with the AR (Augmented Reality) object.  But, it fails in a LiveCode browser (native or widget).

    The LiveCode browser uses Chromium. Chrome does not support AR usdz files.
    This seems to be an Apple iOS 12+ only format. When looking for LC Browser
    compatibility try URLs in Chrome. If the link works in Chrome 99.9% of the
    time it works in the LC browser widget. There's no obstacle stopping it from
    being implemented in Chrome(therefore Android) but I guess there's some
    licensing issues(money).

    I am trying to display and use an AR object in a webpage in a LiveCode
    browser.   It don't work!    Feels like the LC browser (native or widget)
    doesn't have access to the native AR features.   For example, if I open this
    URL https://nexen.ehpec.com/usdz.html in Safari, it works great!   If I open
    it in a LC browser, it doesn't launch AR.   Is the a limitation of LC?   Or
    do I have to flip a switch somewhere?

    Thanks in advance!
