Spatial Anchors - how to view/delete in profile/privacy
I am saving Spatial Anchors to my cloud profile. I am storing their UUIDs separately and trying to remember to clean them up. But I'm worried sometimes I am losing the UUID and accidentally leaving a...
Ok - just over 24 hours later. For my un-shared anchor stored both locally and in the cloud... the cloud anchor worked all day today until the 24 hours was up and then stopped loading. The local anchor was available all day and did NOT stop loading after 24 hours.
So - regardless of whether you share it or not, if you store it in the cloud its only valid for 24 hours. If you store it locally its only available to you, but it persists until you delete it (assumedly... time will confirm that hypothesis), clear the app data, or delete the app.
Test Results: (tldr: Currently, all cloud-saved SHARED spatial anchors seem to get deleted after 24 hours)
Yesterday evening, I created a spatial anchor, saved it to the cloud and shared it with 2 of my test users. Early this evening, I was still able to load the shared spatial anchor from the cloud with myself AND both my test users. At what seemed to be the 24 hours point, loading of the shared anchors from the cloud stopped working. I re-created a new shared anchor and saved it in the cloud - I was able to load it from all users again. Now I'm curious about an un-shared spatial anchor saved to the cloud. I'll do that test next.
