  1. Resolution Note:

    Thank you for reporting a bug to Unity.

    We have reviewed the issue carefully and have determined that the issue, in essence, is coming from ARCore SDK. The texture of the camera is null because the AR Session is not created. We were able to reproduce the issue on an Android project with no connection to Unity. This issue has been communicated to Google. Since Unity cannot fix it, we will close this as a "Third Party Issue".
You can reach out to Google by creating an issue on their ARCore SDK Github:  https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/issues*

    This is a critical issue, it makes the AR features of Unity completely unusable
