iOS ARKit saving map across multiple sessions

Question

I am developing an app using iOS ARKit which has launched recently. I have a question if map and data that has been added can be extended to multiple sessions.

I am adding UI elements on top of map data, however if I close the app and open it again, i will have to do entire map detection and adding UI elements again. If there is a way to save the map please suggest how this can be achieved?

Nope.

There is no API for accessing the data ARKit uses internally for position/orientation tracking, nor for telling ARKit to save/restore such data itself.

Is there a work around for this? Cloud support or something?
