ARCore is split between the SDK and a shared APK to reduce binary size for app downloads. On some devices this is included in the system image, however on other devices the apk must be downloaded from the app store.

Hello @15kingben, Do you have any idea on how we could install the "Google Play Services for AR" on devices that can only access a restricted network, i.e. if we cannot access the App Store at all ? Is is possible to side-load it ? Regards,

There's currently no alternative to obtaining the Google Play Services for AR binary files than through the Play Store or through other application stores in China. Sideloading the binary from other channels may yield undesirable results as devices may need to connect to the internet once to download device calibration data.
