Port bcomfy to ar-core

Since google tango is dead we need to port bcomfy to ar-core if the adf support is available.

We're getting somewhere:

Note: We’re currently developing persistent Cloud Anchors, which can be resolved for much longer. Before making the feature broadly available, we’re looking for more developers to help us explore and test persistent Cloud Anchors in real world apps at scale. See here if you’re interested.

But still far away from Tango: "Cloud Anchors can be resolved for 24 hours after they are hosted." And just anchors but no entire area description :(

Hm? Nene.
Die Cloud Anchors gibt es schon ziemlich lange. Aber persistent Cloud Anchors gehen jetzt in die Beta Phase. Und mit persistent meinen die dann auch persistent. Das läuft dann auf eine ADF-Funktionalität hinaus.

Maybe it's interesting to note, that with current versions of ARCore it's possible to store Cloud Anchors for 365 days, and then increase the storage time from time to time. So this problem should be solved by that.

Also it's good to notice that there are flutter plugins for both ARCore (Android) and ARKit (iOS) existing:

Nice! Do you know anything about if those anchors can be shared between different accounts?

I am really happy about the decision to use flutter for our new client 🥇

Quite simple. From what I've seen you simply receive an UUID which refers to your Anchors in the Google Cloud. But since a lot of image data is then stored on Google's Servers, privacy issues arise. 😄
