  Niantic Spatial distributes its first-party SDK (NSDK 4.x, formerly the
  Lightship ARDK) as platform-native library packages hosted on GitHub, not via
  npm/PyPI/Maven Central. Unity via UPM git URL, Android via AAR (Gradle), iOS via
  XCFramework, plus a Meta Quest 3 Unity build. Legacy ARDK 3.x UPM lives under the
  deprecated niantic-lightship org.
