Wikitude

Alexandru — Sorry for the delay in providing the information you requested on this. We’re just getting back to this project after the holidays.

We have upgraded our test iPhone SE to iOS 12.1, and the most recent version of the Wikitude Unity SDK.

This has significantly improved performance, but we are still seeing frequent freezes of a second or so upon execution of a scan. After a minute or two of usage, we are seeing indefinite freezes. These do not appear to be crashes, though. If we minimize the frozen app (loading the main iPhone screen), and then call the still-running app up again, it usually operates properly again for another minute or two until freezing again.

This does not happen in the Unity development environment for either the iPhone or Android environments, and the Android version runs perfectly on both a quite-new Google Pixel running Android 9, or an older Google Nexus 5 running Android 5.

The iPhone version worked very well (better than on Android), when the test iPhone was running iOS 11 with the Wikitude Unity version from last fall.

When we run the iPhone app in Xcode and view the debugger, we see that CPU usage spikes during the short freezes of one or two seconds. After a minute or two of usage, CPU usage goes up to 184% (or more), which correlates with the indefinite freezes. See the attached screen capture.

We do occasionally see crashes, after extended test sessions. Log files for those are attached.

And as requested, we paused execution of the app when it was running in Xcode and experienced a freeze. Here is the output in the debug console.

Thanks for looking into this — if we can resolve this iPhone issue, we can show this to our client and hopefully get some significant revenue for both our companies.

Alexandru  -- To follow-up on this, you asked if we see this issue in the unmodified Wikitude example project.

We successfully built and installed the Wikitude example project (unmodified) last fall using iOS 11 and the Wikitude Unity SDK at the time. We did NOT see this issue then, and still do not when running that app on our test iPhone (which has been updated to iOS 12.1).

To see if it happens with iOS 12.1 and the most current Wikitude example project, we downloaded the most recent version of the example project. It runs perfectly within the Unity development environment. We built the Unity project and opened it in Xcode. 

When we install and run this version on the test iPhone, we get messages that the build was successful, and the installation was successful. But it does not actually run on the iPhone (within Xcode), and shuts down the moment it starts. 

The attached screen capture shows the error message within Xcode.

Ah. You are correct about the embedded binary. We have always done that in the past, but missed it (or did not save it) this one time.

We have sent the project files and some notes to the support@wikitude.com email address.

Thank you!
