VCam on IOS "AR tracking is unavailable"

Hello everyone

Using VCam app on IOS (both with Iphone 15 & Ipad Pro) I get a “AR tracking is unavailable” message. The connection works, I can see the pixel streaming render on the IOS device, and the camera in editor respond to touch input - but not to the device movement.

It worked fine a few weeks ago so I suspect an IOS update problem.

Does anyone have the same problem ?

Unreal Version : 5.4
Iphone 15 IOS 17.6.1
IpadPro iPAdOS 17.3

Are you just leaving it on your desk or grabbing it and moving it around? You to continuously move the phone. If the phone hardly moves or, e.g., lies on the table, it will not establish AR tracking.

Additionally to the above, make sure if the iPad has a flip case, that the case/cover isn’t covering the camera. I myself have made this mistake before!

Thanks !
Yes, I had my I phone/Ipad moving, and the lens not covered.

I witched back to 5.3, where it works.
