Hi again,

i found the solution to the problem in one of the other threads in this forum.  
[Starting the Vuforia Initialization delayed was the key.](https://forum.magicleap.cloud/t/vuforia-works-in-one-project-but-not-another-no-camera-permissions-request/1455/13#:~:text=I%20knew%20this%20because%20the%20Magic%20Leap%202%27s%20green%20camera%20indicator%20wasn%27t%20turning%20on%2C%20and%20the%20%22Vuforia%20Initialized%22%20debug%20message%20never%20appeared%20in%20the%20debug%20log.%20The%20solution%20that%20worked%20for%20me%20was%3A)  
However this fix was from April 2023 so perhaps it should be further investigated.

I followed the steps of fellow user [jamesashley](https://forum.magicleap.cloud/u/jamesashley) (kudos to him! 🙂 )

It seems that the Vuforia Engine is not getting the permission it needs to start operating after deploying the application.

This doesn't solve the problem above with the Vuforia Magic Leap 2 Sample Project but it takes me a huge step forward in my application.

Thanks and I hope it helps more people!
