In this chapter, we started our exploration of ARCore by building and deploying an AR app for the Android platform. We did this by first installing Android Studio, which will be our go-to Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Android development. Then, we installed the ARCore SDK and ARCore service onto our test mobile device. Next, we loaded up the sample ARCore app and patiently installed the various required build and deploy dependencies. After a successful build, we deployed the app to our device and tested. Finally, we tested making a minor code change and then deployed another version of the app. Doing this assured us that our Android development environment was fully functional, and we are now ready to proceed to the rest of the book.
Our journey continues in the next chapter, where we will build and deploy an ARCore app with the Unity platform. Unity...
