ARKit requires iOS 11. Certain features will only work on newer OS versions (e.g., face tracking), but ARFoundation in general will still work.
You can have a non-AR fallback for unsupported devices, but you need to tell ARKit and ARCore that AR is "optional". See the docs for ARKit and ARCore for instructions on how to do this.

Note also on ARKit, we only support ARM 64, so you won't be able to target older 32-bit devices.

ARFoundation uses ARKit on iOS and ARCore on Android. So for Android look for a list of devices that support ARCore. Hope that helps.

Here is the list of supported devices. Google add new devices all the time, so the list will increase over time.

Hello @tdmowrer , I have 2 questions:
1)
Could you let me know which ARKit version (or which minimum iOS version) is required? I am using
"displayName":"AR Foundation",
"version": "1.0.0-preview.22",
"unity": "2018.3",
I think as face tracking is supported, it is ARKit 2 and thus iOS 12 and up is required, right? If I do not use face tracking, are these the same minimum requirements, or is iOS 11 with ARKit 1.5 also supported?

Unfortunately, I have not found this information neither in the manual https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/[email protected]/manual/index.html
nor in Unity blog articles about ARFoundation or in the readme and changelog files within the Unity package.

2)
My app shall include a non-AR part which could run on a wide range of devices. If I do an ARKit/ ARCore compatibility/ support check before starting the ARFoundation scene, I may build the app for a lower Minimum iOS version or Minimum API level respectively. Is this correct?

I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance

Many thanks @tdmowrer . It is awesome that I can set AR to optional in Unity! For iOS, I have done this in XCode, info.plist, after each export. Now, this is way simpler. .

To anyone who is looking for Edit/Project Settings/ARKit XR Plugin.: There are 2 Project Settings in the dropdown menu as shown in my screenshot.

You should not have to edit the info.plist -- ARFoundation does this for you according to the ARKit settings. Is that not working for you?

@tdmowrer Sure, it is working like a charm. :) I had set the value in info.plist, because I did not know that I also could set it in ARKit XR Plugin settings. Now, since you pointed it out to me, I will not change anymore the info.plist. Thanks again!

It doesn't modify .plist file now and I had to modify it manually. Unity 2019.2, ARKit 2.1.1
