Not just forgotten, deprecated with no notice after my team built our product with a dependency on it.

You might say, “why would you be so stupid to build your AR product on top of Google’s primary, supported, promoted, first-class way of doing AR?” And I would say Apple hasn’t fucked me over like this. In fact, Apple has continued investing in their AR offering and now makes Google’s ARCore and SceneForm look like a fucking joke.

Google Maps AR - oh yeah, that’s an API feature of ARKit now. Want to have high precision location with Google ARCore? Go fuck yourself. (I’m directly quoting Google here, don’t @ me for the language; when you’re getting gaped by Google day after day, I guess some blue language slips in)
