How to export .dae animation from Blender?

I was practicing animation in Blender so I downloaded a .dae file of a car and implemented some animation to it. I wanted to make the car open and close the door and I manage to do that (inserting keyframes to it).

The problem is that when I export it to .dae 

File -> Export -> DAE

and import it, to see if the animation was saved: 

File -> Import -> DAE

but it doesn't do anything.

Is there any way I can export and see the animation as .dae file?*

P.S. I want it to export it as a .dae file because I want to use it on ARKit.

At first you need to bake animation curves of your 3D model. Use Bake Action for it:

enter image description here

The Bake Action tool will apply interpolated frames into individual keyframes. This can be useful for adding deviation to a cyclic action like a walk cycle. This can also useful for keyframe animations created from drivers or constraints.

Secondly, use Collada Exporter/Importer for exporting and importing .dae files.

Watch Baking Final Animation YouTube tutorial for details.

Hope this helps.
