I am new to ARCORE and Kotlin and trying a simple android-kotlin app that need to detect walls. I know Google's made it possible with PlaneFindingMode.VERTICAL tag, but I am not sure how to use it.
any help would be appreciated.

Possible duplicate here but I'll answer it anyway.
This implementation is probably applicable to ARCore as well. But I tested this with SceneForm SDK
Setup the AR Session first and use an extension function to modify plane finding.
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
//Check if ARSession is null. If it is, instantiate it
if(arSession == null) {
arSession = Session(this@EdgeActivity)
arSession?.setupPlaneFinding()
}
}
// Setup plane detection
private fun Session.setupPlaneFinding() {
//Create the config
arConfig = Config(this)
//Pause the session | Not sure if this is required for modifying plane detection. I was using this for something else, try & modify at your end
pause()
// Modify the plane finding mode
arConfig?.planeFindingMode = Config.PlaneFindingMode.VERTICAL
//Reinstate the session
resume()
//Sceneform requires that the ARCore session is configured to the UpdateMode LATEST_CAMERA_IMAGE. | I kept getting an exception if I remove this line. Again, this method is part of a bigger code, this particular line may not be required at your end. Try & Modify
arConfig?.updateMode = Config.UpdateMode.LATEST_CAMERA_IMAGE
//Reconfigure the session
configure(arConfig)
//Setup the session with ARSceneView | Very important
fragment.arSceneView.setupSession(this)
}
