I've been playing, teaching and working with Stager (formerly Dimension) and Aero since their incarnation. The Aero Desktop app interface is still looking messy and behaving like a true beta version indeed. But hey, it works, and with a lot of work-arounds and getting used to its awkwardnes, producing AR content is great fun !
But the mobile (iPhone) app is getting buggier by the month. Finding projects, loading, previewing, recording, and exiting them, is failing more and more often. Especially with location-anchored projects.
• When I try to open them from my Files tab, they won't load due to an error: "Editing location-anchored projects is not supported on iOS. Open with Aero desktop (beta) to edit." But I don't want to edit it, I just want to preview it. Now I have to open it from a Shared link I sent to myself as a message...
• When I afterwards try to re-open the recent location-anchored project from my Recents list in the Home tab, the app probably found out that I'm the owner, so it yields the same error as above. (So we're back to using that message link again.)
• When I try to record a video of a location-anchored project, the iOS rightfully alerts me to allow screen/audio recording (which I grant it), followed by an app alert: "Attempting to place the scene" and a "Reset anchor" button. Whatever I try, the process just hangs, showing no correct overlay or content. At a certain point, ir prompts me to "Pan around" (as if it's restarting) but with no result. Force-quitting the app is the only option, now.
BTW, Aero desktop beta is often nagging me with a "Unexpectedly Quit" report, when I quit it...
Am I the only one suffering from these quirks ?
Or am I the only one complaining about them ?
Or maybe I'm the only one trying them out ?
I don't hope so...
(I'm using a 4 year old MacBook Pro 16" Intel and iPhone SE 2020, both on their latest OS.)
