Direct answer

Why does my AR anchor work perfectly in development but fail for real users?

This typically happens because developers test in ideal, static environments with feature-rich conditions. Real-world factors like changing lighting, moving objects, reflective surfaces, and even slight differences in phone heights during scanning dramatically affect anchor recall. The physical environment itself is part of your AR application's functionality.
