Testing ARKit without iPhone6s or newer

Question

I am before decision to download Xcode9. I want to play with new framework - ARKit. I know that to run app with ARKit I need a device with A9 chip or newer. Unfortunately I have an older one. My question is to people who already downloaded the new Xcode. There is a possibility to run ARKit app in my case? Any simulator for that or something else? Any ideas or will I have to buy new device?

Answer 1

任何iOS 11设备都可以使用ARKit，但是具有高质量增强现实体验的全球追踪功能需要配备A9或更高版本处理器的设备。使用iOS 11测试版更新您的设备是必要的。

Answer 2

There is another problem due to iOS11 beta1 bug, iOS 11 Beta 1 Release Notes And Known Issues According To Apple

This means you need an iPhone 6S or better to use ARKit(ARSessionConfiguration) at the current time. Until the iOS11 beta2 release...
