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.
Thanks for doing this work!
Yes, knowing what happens to un-shared anchors would be really useful to my work. Please let me know how you go.
NP - I love the experimentation. However, it's a harsh reminder of how incomplete their documentation can be sometimes.
But the test is setup. I just created a spatial anchor, saved it to local, and then saved it to cloud. Did not share it. Made sure I could load both copies.
My guess is that in 24 hours, the cloud one will delete, and the local one will persist until deleted.
Lets see what happens.
