Cardboard SDK v1.7.0 (2021-07-27)

Breaking & behavioral changes

None.

New APIs and capabilities

• Merged #250: Added multiple orientation support via new parameter to CardboardHeadTracker_getPose (C). In Unity this is automatically used.

Deprecations

None.

Other changes

• URLs with HTTP schemes can now be passed to CardboardQrCode_saveDeviceParams (C), Api.SaveDeviceParams (Unity) since they are internally modified to use HTTPS instead.
• The iOS SDK was modified to perform only HTTPS requests when trying to get the device parameters from a certain URI.

Bug fixes

• Fixed bug in the Unity sample scene which causes the availability of collectable geodesic spheres to be inconsistent.
• Fixed Unity bug #1329845: Metal support now works on Unity 2019.4.27f1 onwards.
• Fixed #253: Fixed eye textures and widgets location when the app is launched on devices with a notch.

Known issues

• #257 and Unity bug #1346978: When importing the Cardboard XR Plugin package and building an Xcode project, the Unity meta files aren't deleted from the bundle directory. This could cause issues when trying to sign the iOS app binary and can be avoided by manually removing the aforementioned meta files from the generated Xcode project.
