ARCore android 应用程序将安装在不受支持的设备上

Question

I have created one Android App which has AR features along with some other features. So I wanted my app to install on all devices and the AR to be worked only on supported devices. Please help me how can I achieve this. Thanks in advance.

It sounds like your app is what is called 'AR Optional' in the ARCore documentation:

An AR Optional app uses ARCore to augment a different functionality. An AR Optional app has optional AR features, which are activated only on ARCore supported devices that have Google Play Services for AR installed.

AR Optional apps can be installed and run on devices that don't support ARCore. When users install an AR Optional app, the Google Play Store will not automatically install Google Play Services for AR with the app.

from: https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/java/enable-arcore (at the time of writing)

There is aa utility method available in ArCoreApk to check if the device supports ARCore and if so if it is available - ArCoreApk.checkAvailability().

It's worth being aware that some have reported inconsistent results using this check, although it does seem to work in many cases - see the discussion here for example: https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/issues/162
