AR vuforia integration with xcode

Question

I have two projects. One is native iOS app (UIKIT) and the other is AR Vuforia project which was made by Unity3D.

I can export AR project into XCODE project, but I am wondering how to link them together.

For example, I have a button on native iOS app. I want to trigger AR project when button is pressed and it can go back to native iOS app as well.

Are you saying that you want to have one app launch another (and vice-versa)?

If that is the case, then you just need to learn about Apple's URL scheme, which is described here:

It is really quite easy to use. You'll need to edit the PList for each app to give them a custom URL, which you can then invoke via the openURL method:
