Yes, we do! There are a couple of user-facing annoyances at the moment, one of which I mentioned in another comment (hacks to align the color and ToF images). Hopefully these API limitations are removed soon, or we find better workarounds.
Google’s branding is awful.
Man, we're so bad at naming, that we keep joking about it... And trying to satire that with internal codenames (the ones engineers give without adult supervision)... And somehow those often seem better than the external names :(
This is something we'd have to separately test, and ultimately make a wholly different app for if it's feasible on iOS.
What would be really helpful is a database of apps, similar to the WINE project, maintaining how well they work on a de-googled phone, with a table, columns being "no root", "rooted", "with microg", etc, and a WINE style rating of how well it works and what problems you'll run in to.
You would know which banking services, etc don't work well or at all and could choose your establishments with foresight.
What were your biggest reliance on Google services you found in this 1 year and how did you overcome it?
However there is a clear bottleneck with the Google AR team for features that the community really wants. While it's understandable, perhaps the open source libraries aren't the priority or there's short staffing, there are issues like this one - https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/issues/153 - that have been open since Jan 2018. This one asks that we can use the smartphone flashlight simultaneously with ARCore, but there's no visibility on how close we are at the moment. This feature would have likely improved our work's performance greatly, but even in general, many other AR developers are asking for it.
Re: overcoming it, there's not much we can do in this case. We just didn't implement the feature.
Long standing issues/feature requests are typical of Google's Android ecosystem, Regardless I eagerly await for your release. I think ToF based spy-camera detection could make a great addition to the women safety apps in India.
You've got a community of people who're willing to spend time polishing.
It'd be a massive benefit to society to make this widely available.
