Issue with Unity AI Assistant Package

[Archi97]

In the project I had ARCore Extenstion (lite version) 1.52.0.
Added Unity AI assistant package ("com.unity.ai.assistant"). And got Library code errors.
Tried with new 1.53 version, but same result.

Library\PackageCache\com.google.ar.core.arfoundation.extensions-lite@9312d9a06539\Editor\Scripts\Internal\Analytics\ArcoreSdkLog.cs(30,28): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Protobuf' does not exist in the namespace 'Google' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Both have protobuf.dll, removing any of them makes the other to no compile.

Same for us. We use the ARCore Extensions package and want to try the AI Assistant package. Currently, this prevents us from having both packages in one project.
This issue is not fixed in version 1.54 either.

Same for us. Would love to try Unity AI Assistant but just can't.

Hey! If you add EXCLUDE_GOOGLE_PROTOBUF to your Player > Scripting Define Symbols, the AI Assistant version of protobuf won't compile.

This should fix the problem with the dll clash. You can see that in the define constraints section of the inspector for a DLL if you have this issue in the future.

Any news about this?
I've tried to set the EXCLUDE_GOOGLE_PROTOBUF, but I've encountered issues with other packages, which probably use the same scripting symbol, but indeed need Protobuf for our project to work.
