Starting in visionOS 26, users can snap windows to surfaces. These windows are locked in place and are later restored by visionOS. We can access the snapped data with surfaceSnappingInfo docs.
Users can also lock a free-floating (unsnapped) window from a context menu in the window controls.
Is there a way to tell when a window has been locked without being snapped to a surface?

This post documents an issue I reported in feedback FB19610114 and see if anyone knows of a workaround. Here is a copy of the feedback.
Short version
Manipulation (SwiftUI OR RealityKit) fails to translate entities after changing rooms. By changing rooms, I mean a human wearing an Apple Vision Pro leaving one room and entering another room. Once this issue occurs, it impacts all apps that use these features. A device restart is the only solution I have to fix it.
Feedback FB19610114
This is an odd one. I'm using the new Manipulation Component in visionOS 26. Most of the time this works well. Sometime it stops working and when it does the only way to get it working again is to reboot the headset.
When this happens, I can continue to rotate and scale items, but translation no longer works. It is as if the item is stuck to a fixed point in the parent scene (window, volume, etc). When this bug occurs, it affects every app across the entire operating system that is using manipulation, including the RealityKit component AND the SwiftUI version. This is not limited to one app and is not limited to apps that I am working on. Once this error occurs, it affects literally any application across the operating system that is using this API, including apps from Apple.
I won't speculate on the cause of this, but I do know of one way where I can always get it to happen.
Here is how to reproduce it:
Make an Xcode project with a single entity that uses the Manipulation Component. There is no need to customize the configuration of this component. The default implementation will work.
Build and run this app on device. You can keep running from device or quit and launch the app like normal on device.
Open the app and manipulate the entity - it should work as expected.
Physically walk into another room. It is vital that you leave the current room that you are in and enter a different room entirely.
Use the digital crown to recenter your view and bring your window or volume to you.
Test the manipulation on the entity again - it should still be working as expected at this point.
Physically, move yourself and your headset into the original room where you started.
Use the digital crown to recenter your view and bring your window or volume to you.
Test the manipulation on the entity again - you should now see the issue.
When I follow the steps above, then 100% of the time manipulation translation stops working at this point. It will impact any application using this API. The only way to fix it is to restart my headset.
A few points to keep in mind
It does not matter if an app is actively being run from Xcode.
When this occurs, it impacts every single app, not just one.
When this occurs, rotation and scaling continue to work, but the entity/view cannot be translated.
This impacts BOTH the SwiftUI version and the RealityKit version.
When this occurs, the only way to "fix" it is to reboot the device.
I have some questions about Apple privacy manifest.
I have a visionOS app called Project Graveyard. I'm getting ready for the visionOS 2 release. Since my last update Apple has started requiring privacy manifest files, but the documentation is extremely vague and I can't tell if I actually need one or not.
My app stores data two types of data for the user.
User Defaults - App settings: lights, rain, window placement etc.
SwiftData + CloudKit - User generated data: a list of project names and some optional text. User customization options for each item.
The data is stored on device or in CloudKit. I do not "collect" this data, it is simply there for the app to function. Do I need a privacy manifest for this type of data? If so, what do I "declare".
I'm using ARKitSession and PlaneDetectionProvider to detect planes. I have a basics process to create an entity for each detected plane. Each one will get a random color for the material.
Each plane is sized based on the bounds of the anchor provided by ARKit.
let mesh = MeshResource.generatePlane(
width: anchor.geometry.extent.width,
depth: anchor.geometry.extent.height
)
Then I'm using this to position each entity.
entity.transform = Transform(matrix: anchor.originFromAnchorTransform)
This seems to be the right method, but many (not all) planes are not where they should be. The sizes look OK, but the X and Y positions off.
Take this large green plane on the wall. It should span the entire wall, but it is offset along the X position so that it is pushed to the left from where the center of the anchor is.
When I visualize surfaces using the Xcode debugging tools, that tool reports the planes where I'd expect them to be.
Can you see what I'm getting wrong here? Full code below

During the WWDC Session called "Design widgets for visionOS" the presenter says:
You can choose whether the background of your widget participates in tinting. If you opted out, for example to preserve a photo or illustration, make sure it still looks good alongside the selected color palette.
Unfortunately, this session has no example code. Can someone point me to the correct way to do this? Is there a modifier we can use on views?
(reposting this in the correct topic/subtopic)
How can we move the player within a RealityKit/RealityView scene? I am not looking for any animation or gradual movement, just instantaneous position changes.
I am unsure of how to access the player (the person wearing the headset) and it's transform within the context of a RealityView.
The goal is to allow the player to enter a full space in immersive mode and explore a space with various objects. They should be able to select an object and move closer to it.
In a RealityView, I have scene loaded from Reality Composer Pro. The entity I'm interacting with has a PhysicallyBasedMaterial with a diffuse color. I want to change that color when on long press. I can get the entity and even get a reference to the material, but I can't seem to change anything about it.
What is the best way to change the color of a material at runtime?

shadow.castsShadow = true
value.entity.components.set(shadow)
}
if let model = value.entity.components[ModelComponent.self] {

if let mat = model.materials.first {
print("material", mat)
// I have a material here but I can't set any properties?

SwiftUI in visionOS has a modifier called preferredSurroundingsEffect that takes a SurroundingsEffect.
From what I can tell, there is only a single effect available: .systemDark.
ImmersiveSpace(id: "MyView") {
MyView()
.preferredSurroundingsEffect(.systemDark)
}
I'd like to create another effect to tint the color of passthrough video if possible.
Does anyone know how to create custom SurroundingsEffects?
In the WWDC session titled "Deep dive into volumes and immersive spaces", the developers discussed adding a Spatial Tracking Session and an Anchor Entity to detect the floor. They then glossed over some important details. They added a spatial tap gesture to let the user place content relative to the floor anchor, but they left a lot of information.
.gesture(
SpatialTapGesture(
coordinateSpace: .immersiveSpace
)
.targetedToAnyEntity()
.onEnded { value in
handleTapOnFloor(value: value)
}
)
My understanding is that an entity has to have input and collision components for gestures like this to work. How can we add a collision to an AnchorEntity when we don't know its size or shape?
I've been trying for days to understand what is happening here and I just don't get it. It is even more frustrating that the example project that Apple released does not contain any of these features.
I would like to be able
Detect the floor plane
Get the position/transform of the floor plane
Add a collider to the floor plane
Enable collisions and physics on the floor plane
Enable gestures on the floor plane
It seems to me that the Anchor Entity is placed as an entirely arbitrary position. It has absolutely no relationship to the rectangle with the floor label that I can see in the Xcode visualization. It is just a point, not a plane or rect that I can use.
I've tried manually calculating the collision shape after the anchor is detected, but nothing that I have tried works. I can't tap on the floor with gestures. I can't drop entities onto the floor. I can't seem to do ANYTHING at all with this floor anchor other than place entity at the totally arbitrary location somewhere on the floor.
Is there anyway at all with Spatial Tracking Session and Anchor Entity to get the actual plane that was detected?
struct FloorExample: View {
@State var trackingSession: SpatialTrackingSession = SpatialTrackingSession()
@State var subject: Entity?
@State var floor: AnchorEntity?
var body: some View {
RealityView { content, attachments in
let session = SpatialTrackingSession()
let configuration = SpatialTrackingSession.Configuration(tracking: [.plane])
_ = await session.run(configuration)
self.trackingSession = session
let floorAnchor = AnchorEntity(.plane(.horizontal, classification: .floor, minimumBounds: SIMD2(x: 0.1, y: 0.1)))
floorAnchor.anchoring.physicsSimulation = .none
floorAnchor.name = "FloorAnchorEntity"
floorAnchor.components.set(InputTargetComponent())
floorAnchor.components.set(CollisionComponent(shapes: .init()))
content.add(floorAnchor)
self.floor = floorAnchor
// This is just here to let me see where visinoOS decided to "place" the floor anchor.
let floorPlaced = ModelEntity(
mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 0.1),
materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .black, isMetallic: false)])
floorAnchor.addChild(floorPlaced)
if let scene = try? await Entity(named: "AnchorLabsFloor", in: realityKitContentBundle) {
content.add(scene)
if let subject = scene.findEntity(named: "StepSphereRed") {
self.subject = subject
}
// I can see when the anchor is added
_ = content.subscribe(to: SceneEvents.AnchoredStateChanged.self) { event in
event.anchor.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: true) // this doesn't seem to work
print("**anchor changed** \(event)")
print("**anchor** \(event.anchor)")
}
// place the reset button near the user
if let panel = attachments.entity(for: "Panel") {
panel.position = [0, 1, -0.5]
content.add(panel)
}
}
} update: { content, attachments in
} attachments: {
Attachment(id: "Panel", {
Button(action: {
print("**button pressed**")
if let subject = self.subject {
subject.position = [-0.5, 1.5, -1.5]
// Remove the physics body and assign a new one - hack to remove momentum
if let physics = subject.components[PhysicsBodyComponent.self] {
subject.components.remove(PhysicsBodyComponent.self)
subject.components.set(physics)
}
}
}, label: {
Text("Reset Sphere")

We can add ornaments to popovers shown by PresentationComponent, but I’m not sure if we should.
While working on the editor for entities in a Volume-based app, I had the idea to add ornaments to the presented views. The entire app exists inside a volume. A user can tap a item to present a popoverUI to edit it. This is displayed using the new PresentationComponent in visionOS 26.
Ornaments have a new attachment anchor option this year: .parent().
.ornament(attachmentAnchor: .parent(.top), ornament: {...})
This works well in the Simulator. We can add ornaments around this popover view just like we would with a window.
Unfortunately, when I run this on device I get a different experience. Any part of the ornament that overlaps with the popover content isn’t rendered correctly. Sometimes it entirely disappears, other times it becomes partially transparent.
We could use content alignment to try to make sure the ornament doesn’t overlap the popover content.
.ornament(attachmentAnchor: .parent(.top), contentAlignment: .bottom, ornament: {...})
This works sometimes–but not all the time. It’s not clear if this is a bug or not, because I’m not sure if we are even supposed to be able to use ornaments in this way. Here is my hierarchy:
An app opens as a Volume
Volume presenting a RealityView, with its own ornament using .scene() anchor
Multiple Entities with Presentation Component show an edit view
The view uses .parent() anchor to add ornaments.
What makes me unsure is that other methods for drawing UI in RealityView don’t seem to work with ornaments. For example, if I add an attachment to show a view with the ornament–even when I use the .parent() anchor–the ornament is anchor to the volume, not the attachment view.
So what do we think? Is this a rendering bug? Are ornaments intended to work with attachments and presentations?
The landing page for visionOS 26 mentions
The Unified Coordinate Conversion API makes moving views and entities between scenes straightforward — even between views and ARKit accessory anchors.
This WWDC session very briefly shows a single example of using this, but with no context. For example, they discuss a way to tell the distance between a Model3D and an entity in a RealityView. But they don't provide any details for how they are referencing the entity (bolts in the slide).
The session used the BOT-anist example project that we saw in visionOS 2, but the version on in the Sample Code library has not been updated with these examples.
I was able to put together a simple example where we can get the position of a window relative to the world origin. It even updates when the user recenters.
struct Lab080: View {
@State private var posX: Float = 0
@State private var posY: Float = 0
@State private var posZ: Float = 0
var body: some View {
GeometryReader3D { geometry in
VStack {
Text("Unified Coordinate Conversion")
.font(.largeTitle)
.padding(24)
VStack {
Text("X: \(posX)")
Text("Y: \(posY)")
Text("Z: \(posZ)")
}
.font(.title)
.padding(24)
}
.onGeometryChange3D(for: Point3D.self) { proxy in try! proxy
.coordinateSpace3D()
.convert(value: Point3D.zero, to: .worldReference)
} action: { old, new in
posX = Float(new.x)
posY = Float(new.y)
posZ = Float(new.z)
}
}
}
}
This is all that I've been able to figure out so far. What other features are included in this new Unified Coordinate Conversion?
Can we use this to get the position of one window relative to another? Can we use this to get the position of a view in a window relative to an entity in a RealityView, for example in a Volume or Immersive Space? What else can Unified Coordinate Conversion do?
Are there documentation pages that I'm missing? I'm not sure what to search for. Are there any Sample projects that use these features? Any additional information would be very helpful.

Reality Composer Pro question related to custom components
My custom component defines some properties to edit in RCP. Simple ones work find, but SIMD3 and SIMD2 do not. I'd expect to see default values but instead I get this 0s. If I try to run this the scene doesn't load. Once I enter some values it does and build and run again it works fine.
More generally, does Apple have documentation on creating properties for components? The only examples I've seen show simple strings and floats. There are no details about vectors, conditional options, grouping properties, etc.
public struct EntitySpawnerComponent: Component, Codable {
public enum SpawnShape: String, Codable {
case domeUpper
case domeLower
case sphere
case box
case plane
case circle
}
// These prooerties get their default values in RCP
/// The number of clones to create
public var Copies: Int = 12
/// The shape to spawn entities in
public var SpawnShape: SpawnShape = .domeUpper
/// Radius for spherical shapes (dome, sphere, circle)
public var Radius: Float = 5.0
// These properties DO NOT get their default values in RCP. The all show 0
/// Dimensions for box spawning (width, height, depth)
public var BoxDimensions: SIMD3<Float> = SIMD3(2.0, 2.0, 2.0)
/// Dimensions for plane spawning (width, depth)
public var PlaneDimensions: SIMD2<Float> = SIMD2(2.0, 2.0)
/// Track if we've already spawned copies
public var HasSpawned: Bool = false
public init() {
}
}
Apple published a set of examples for using system gestures to interact with RealityKit entities. I've been using DragGesture a lot in my apps and noticed an issue when using it in an immersive space.
When dragging an entity, if I turn my body to face another direction, the dragged entity does not stay relative to my hand. This can lead to situations where the entity is pulled very close to me, or pushed far way, or even ends up behind me.
In the examples linked above, there are two versions of how they use drag.
handleFixedDrag: This is similar to what I'm doing now. It uses the value from value.gestureValue.translation3D as the basis for the drag
handlePivotDrag: This version aims to solve the problem I described above by using value.inputDevicePose3D as the basis of the gesture.
I've tried the example from handlePivotDrag, but it has one limitation. Using this version, I can move the entity around me as if it were on the inside of an arc or sphere. However, I can no longer move the entity further or closer. It stays within a similar (though not exact) distance relative to me while I drag.
Is there a way to combine these concepts? Ideally, I would like to use a gesture that behaves the same way that visionOS windows do. When we drag windows, I can move them around relative to myself, pull them closer, push them further, all while avoiding the issues described above.
Example from handleFixedDrag
mutating private func handleFixedDrag(value: EntityTargetValue<DragGesture.Value>) {
let state = EntityGestureState.shared
guard let entity = state.targetedEntity else { fatalError("Gesture contained no entity") }
if !state.isDragging {
state.isDragging = true
state.dragStartPosition = entity.scenePosition
}
let translation3D = value.convert(value.gestureValue.translation3D, from: .local, to: .scene)
let offset = SIMD3<Float>(x: Float(translation3D.x),
y: Float(translation3D.y),
z: Float(translation3D.z))
entity.scenePosition = state.dragStartPosition + offset
if let initialOrientation = state.initialOrientation {
state.targetedEntity?.setOrientation(initialOrientation, relativeTo: nil)
}
}
Example from handlePivotDrag
mutating private func handlePivotDrag(value: EntityTargetValue<DragGesture.Value>) {
let state = EntityGestureState.shared
guard let entity = state.targetedEntity else { fatalError("Gesture contained no entity") }
// The transform that the pivot will be moved to.
var targetPivotTransform = Transform()
// Set the target pivot transform depending on the input source.
if let inputDevicePose = value.inputDevicePose3D {
// If there is an input device pose, use it for positioning and rotating the pivot.
targetPivotTransform.scale = .one
targetPivotTransform.translation = value.convert(inputDevicePose.position, from: .local, to: .scene)
targetPivotTransform.rotation = value.convert(AffineTransform3D(rotation: inputDevicePose.rotation), from: .local, to: .scene).rotation
} else {
// If there is not an input device pose, use the location of the drag for positioning the pivot.
targetPivotTransform.translation = value.convert(value.location3D, from: .local, to: .scene)
}
if !state.isDragging {
// If this drag just started, create the pivot entity.
let pivotEntity = Entity()
guard let parent = entity.parent else { fatalError("Non-root entity is missing a parent.") }
// Add the pivot entity into the scene.
parent.addChild(pivotEntity)
// Move the pivot entity to the target transform.
pivotEntity.move(to: targetPivotTransform, relativeTo: nil)
// Add the targeted entity as a child of the pivot without changing the targeted entity's world transform.
pivotEntity.addChild(entity, preservingWorldTransform: true)
// Store the pivot entity.
state.pivotEntity = pivotEntity
// Indicate that a drag has started.
state.isDragging = true
} else {
// If this drag is ongoing, move the pivot entity to the target transform.
// The animation duration smooths the noise in the target transform across frames.
state.pivotEntity?.move(to: targetPivotTransform, relativeTo: nil, duration: 0.2)
}
if preserveOrientationOnPivotDrag, let initialOrientation = state.initialOrientation {
state.targetedEntity?.setOrientation(initialOrientation, relativeTo: nil)
}
}
I’ve been having some issues removing anchors. I can add anchors with no issue. They will be there the next time I run the scene. I can also get updates when ARKit sends them. I can remove anchors, but not all the time. The method I’m using is to call removeAnchor() on the data provider.
worldTracking.removeAnchor(forID: uuid)
// Yes, I have also tried `removeAnchor(_ worldAnchor: WorldAnchor)`
This works if there are more than one anchor in a scene. When I’m down to one remaining anchor, I can remove it. It seems to succeed (does not raise an error) but the next time I run the scene the removed anchor is back. This only happens when there is only one remaining anchor.
do {
// This always run, but it doesn't seem to "save" the removal when there is only one anchor left.
try await worldTracking.removeAnchor(forID: uuid)
} catch {
// I have never seen this block fire!
print("Failed to remove world anchor \(uuid) with error: \(error).")
}
I posted a video on my website if you want to see it happening.

I'm using SwiftData with CloutKit with a very simple app. Data syncs between iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS, but not macOS. From what I can tell, macOS is never getting CK messages unless I'm running the app from Xcode.
I can listen for the CK messages and show a line in a debug overlay. This works perfectly when I run from Xcode. I can see the notifications and see updates in my app. However, if I just launch the app outside of Xcode I will never see any changes or notifications. It is as if the Mac app never even tries to contact CloudKit.
Schema has been deployed in the CloudKit console. The app is based on the multi-platform Xcode template. Again, only the macOS version has this issue. Is there some extra permission or setting I need to set up in order to use CloudKit on macOS?
