Augmented Reality in Vuforia - unity3d

I am making a augmented reality games and i used the vuforia sdk.
Here is my problem:
Can I use the augmented reality of vuforia and upload it in App Store and playstore?

The vuforia developer website has a section on publishing applications for both the app store and google play:
https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/dev-guide/publish-vuforia
You should carefully read and conform to the legal considerations and logo guidelines (see subsections). If you are still not sure about some specific elements for publishing your app, there is also an active forum where you can ask more precise questions:
https://developer.vuforia.com/forum
You can see some of example of published apps with Vuforia here:
https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/dev-guide/best-breed-examples

Yeah it is possible because with unity you can publish to Android, iOS, uwp.......If you want to publish to iOS make sure you are using Mac with XCode and in Unity->Player settings ->Other settings you will be required to add a message that user will see requesting the permission to use his device camera.

Is there something similar to ARCore's anchor and pose in any other AR library

I wanna build measurement app for Android and iOS using Unity. Can some one guide me through as it is my final year project and I am confused what to use that will work on both Android and iOS for all devices.
I am confused what to use that will work on both android and ios for all devices.
This is not a very reasonable thing to ask. You can deploy your applications to iOS and Android with both ARCore and Vuforia. However, not every device can run ARCore or Vuforia. There is a list of supported devices for both of them.
For the task you want to implement you need to use Vuforia Fusion. Here is the list of devices that support Vuforia Fusion. On top of that these devices should fulfill certain requirements such as having minimum iOS 9+.
For ARCore the list is like this and ARCore also has requirements specific to devices. However, it is easy to say Vuforia supports more devices than ARCore. Therefore, Vuforia is used more in such applications recently but this might change in the future. I prefer ARCore over Vuforia because of the flexibility it provides to developers.
Since this is your final year project i would recommend doing a thorough AR SDK research first and then decide with which one to start. There might be other SDKs which might be better for the task in hand. Good luck!

Firebase for Unity3d Windows App

I have been trying to figure out the best way to implement dynamic photos and voice notes into my Unity3d app, and am looking for guidance about the correct backend/database to use. There would be two apps, one that a user would login to and upload content: I am working with someone that can build an Android app that allows for a user to login with Google, Facebook, etc and upload content (images, messages, etc) to their profile using Firebase. The other half would be the Windows Oculus Rift app.
I am building a Unity VR experience for Oculus Rift that needs to use this user content dynamically during runtime, but I am not sure the best way to connect Unity with Firebase. I am aware of the recent Firebase SDK for Unity, but the examples show use cases for Android and IOS builds from Unity, whereas I would need to build to Windows for use with the Oculus Rift. Will the Unity Firebase SDK work for Windows and if not, are there any suggestions about the best way to accomplish my goal?
Thank you,
Jacob
The current version of the Firebase Unity SDK only works on Android and iOS. There is nothing on the road map to implement desktop apps in Unity at present.
Note that you can still interact with the Firebase Database using the REST API.

GameAnalytics, validating in app purchases on Unity

I'm setting up for the first time GameAnalytics in my Unity3D project.
I'm try to figure out if there is a way to validate in app purchases for both android and iOS from it.
In the docs I found http://www.gameanalytics.com/docs/ga-data#business-event. I understood that you need to work with native sdks to get this feature, am I right?
Could it be an option to configure from the dashboard an android and an iOS game and then changing the keys in unity with precompilator instructions? (like #if UNITY_ANDROID)?
I am an SDK developer # GameAnalytics.
Yes.
There is a way to make the GA servers validate Android and iOS IAP purchases in business events. From Unity.
Short story
You need to send the receipt in the business event after the purchase.
You can read our complete Unity tech guide in the Github Repository.
Regarding IAP validation you should read this section.
https://github.com/GameAnalytics/GA-SDK-UNITY/wiki/Business%20Event
About the keys
You should create a game for Android and iOS in our tool at go.gameanalytics.com
Inside the Unity Editor you can add platforms (Android / iOS) and then add specific keys to each.
You can read more about the in-editor settings in the wiki docs as well. Including how to login and select games directly in the editor.
Let me know if you have any issues. You could also file a support case with our friendly support staff.
When you install the Game Analytics unity package, you are essentially installing the native libraries for each platform (Android, iOS, ...) located in the Plugins folder.
If you want to target multiple platforms in your code with an API like Game Analytics, I recommend you use the preprocessor tags as you mentioned since the functions from Game Analytics are platform specific.

Ads in game made with Unity Basic?

It is possible to use any ads on my games made with Uniy Basic (or make it as pay application in Play Store)?
Yes. Check the Unity Asset store, there are several free and paid tools you can use to add advertisement to your game. You can also create your own subsystem that handles this.
Also it is perfectly legal.

Unity3d Android App can not be listed in Facebook AppCenter

I developed a game for Android with Unity3d. I am using the latest Facebook Unity SDK (Version 5.1).
The game is NOT published on the Google Play Store, yet.
I want to release it soon and I want Android to be a listed platform in the AppCenter.
For some reason I can not switch it on. It says: "This platform cannot be listed because it is either configured incorrectly or not supported in App Center".
I also created it as a canvas app. I can switch that on!
Is this because:
a) The Facebook Unity SDK is not support by the AppCenter (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/appcenter/guidelines states that an Android App should use the Facebook Login SDK for Android, see "Eligibility Requirements")
b) The App is not published on Google Play.
c) A wrong configuration. What could this be? I filled in every possible box and uploaded the needed screenshots.
d) something else?!?
Thanks in advance!
I got problem solved with enabling single sign on in settings->basic->android.
