Hello, I’m playing around with making an fully immersive multiplayer, air to air dogfighting game, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to attach a camera to an entity. I have a plane that’s controlled with a GamePad. And I want the camera’s position to be pinned to that entity as it moves about space, while maintaining the users ability to look around. Is this possible? -- From my understanding, the current state of SceneKit, ARKit, and RealityKit is a bit confusing with what can and can not be done. SceneKit Full control of the camera Not sure if it can use RealityKits ECS system. 2D Window. - Missing full immersion. ARKit Full control of the camera* - but only for non Vision Pro devices. Since Vision OS doesn't have a ARView. Has RealityKits ECS system 2D Window. - Missing full immersion. RealityKit Camera is pinned to the device's position and orientation Has RealityKits ECS system Allows full immersion

Hello, When attempting to create a CKShare on a personal device linked to a Family iCloud plan (non-primary account holder), the operation fails with a quotaExceeded error. This occurs with the Family plan having 1.5TB available storage space. This is also causing a data loss for the object(s) that were attempted to be shared. Details Account Type: Family iCloud Plan (2TB total storage) Current Family Usage: 399GB iCloud Account Usage: 70 GB Steps to Reproduce: Have an iCloud account with storage over the 5GB free space limit. Be on a part of a iCloud Family Plan as the non-primary account holder. Have storage space available in the Family Plan Attempt to start a CloudKit Share/Collaboration on the device. Observe that the CKShare creation fails with a quotaExceeded error. Expected Behavior: The CKShare should be successfully created, reflecting the total available storage of the Family plan. Observed Behavior: The CKShare fails to be created with quotaExceeded. Additional Testing On a test device using an iCloud account with no stored data, the CKShare was created successfully and shared without issue. Suspected Cause The CKShare functionality is verifying the personal storage allocation of the iCloud account and failing without checking total available storage provided by the Family plan.

Hello, I'm trying to use multiple Background Assets Packs to host map tiles. This is problematic for a few reasons. MKTileOverlay requires a method that returns a URL. AssetPackManager.shared.url() throws, but it's unrelated to the url. It will return a URL even if it points to nothing. There's no name-spacing. Everything appears to be flattened. (See Error below) Simultaneously, this also is not the case as the documentation states: if there’s a path collision across multiple asset packs, then it’s undefined from which asset pack an individual file will be resolved. AssetPackManager.shared.url() doesn't have an optional parameter to explicitly declare the asset pack you want to access, like AssetPackManager.shared.contents(at: FilePath) does For example, I have multiple different tiles I'm trying to overlay for z: 10, x: 239, and y: 414. Foo/10/239/414.png Bar/10/239/414.png And even when explicitly stating the fold directory, it appears that the assets are flattened down. As I'm receiving this error. The URL for “Foo/10/239/414.png” couldn’t be retrieved: “414.png” couldn’t be copied to “239” because an item with the same name already exists.

Hello, From the documentation linked below, the limitations for Background Assets are the following: Size Limit: 200 GB Asset Pack Count: 100 I'm expecting I will need ~175 Asset Packs and around 500GB of storage. I understand Background Assets is a new, but is there a process or a potential that these limits will be increased in the future? Or is there a way to request an increase? I've tried contacting Apple Support as this is more of an Admin issue, however they've directed me here.

Hello I'm trying to use a TabView inside of the Sidebar in a NavigationSplitView. I'm wanting to use .listStyle(.sidebar) in order to get the Liquid Glass effect. However I can not find a way to remove the background of the TabView without changing the behavior of the TabView itself to paging with .tabViewStyle(.page) NavigationSplitView { TabView( selection: .constant("List") ) { Tab(value: "List") { List { Text("List") } } } } detail: { } Note: I wanting change the background of the TabView container itself. Not the TabBar.

Hello, I'm trying to figure out the behavior of AssetPackManager.shared.remove(assetPackWithID: ). I'm working with MapKit tiles and currently working on trying projecting them correctly which involves serving the AssetPack locally, downloading, checking alignment, and then deleting and changing. My question is that remove(assetPackWithID: ) completes successfully and the asset pack is removed. This is confirmed by trying to remove the AssetPack again which throws an error. However, the asset is still appearing on MapKit after the removal. This is a bit odd as this persists not only with force killing, but also restarting the device. Please advise on how to properly remove an AssetPack. Thank you iPhone 15 Pro Max (iOS 26.0.1) iPhone 17 Pro Max (iOS 26.0.1)

Hello, I have an Asset Pack that's a database. I need to use it in 2 apps. I'm curious at the expected functionality of cross app Asset Pack distribution as I've seen conflicting behavior. (1) Each app is required to have its own unique Background Assets Target. (2) Uploading the asset pack requires the App ID to be included. (3) I'm able to access the Asset Pack of App #1 inside of App #2 by using AssetPackManager.shared.ensureLocalAvailability(of:) with local testing (Not TestFlight) This is a technical question as originally I planned to duplicate the upload of the Asset Pack to both individual apps.

Hello, I have a question about when are asset packs actually updated? For Essential Asset Packs, this only during the keys included in the pack? As in, only when the app is installed for firstInstallation. And only when there's an app update for subsequentUpdate? For On Demand Asset Packs, is this only when AssetPackManager.shared.checkForUpdates() is called? Also, are any asset packs ever actually updated in the background? For example, if an On Demand Asset Pack has an update pushed, can the device automatically fetch and download the pack overnight? Or is updating limited to only when the app is active?

Hello, I'm trying to upload an asset pack that has the same identifier as an asset pack that I've archived. I understand this isn't likely a common scenario, but I'd expect that uploading an archived Asset Pack to become un-archived. Reverting to the next newest version available for the Asset Pack. Further, this restriction is not clear that you won't be able to reuse the assetPackID on the archive asset pack alert Archive Asset Pack? Are you sure you want to archive "[NAME]" asset pack? All versions of this asset will no longer be accessible by your app. Errors: Failed to create a new background asset pack version for '[NAME]'. (-19243) operation not allowed (409) Cannot create version for an archived background asset.

Hello, I was just installing an app from TestFlight that has an Essential Asset Pack that's a few GBs in size. It appears the Call To Action inside of TestFlight doesn't take into consideration the Background Asset download status before it changes from Installing to Open. I can't test if this is also the case for apps on the App Store, but I'd expect that it is.

Hello, I have an app with a few essential asset packs currently totaling to ~8GB. I've noticed that when trying to install the app fresh from TestFlight, there is a significant delay between tapping install and the app appearing on the device in the loading state. The delay is long enough where it's hard to tell what's happening, or if the installation has failed. This also appears to be an issue in App Review, as I've had my app rejected twice due to the app not loading on the reviewers device. The reason they gave is UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities is blocking the installation, but UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities is empty. Note: I'm not looking for App Store review help, simply sharing the extent of the issue. Thank you

Hello, I have an asset pack that I'm use to periodically distribute a sqlite database thats being used to an NSPersistentStore. Because the database is over a few GBs, and the files in an AssetPack are not mutable, I have to stream the database into a temporary file, then replace my NSPersistentStore. This requires that the user has 3x the storage available of the database, and permanently uses twice to storage needed. I'd like: To be able to mark a URL/File to be accessible for read/write access To be able to mark a file / URL as consumed when it's no needed. So that it can be cleared from the user storage while still maintaining an active subscription to the asset pack for updates. Thank you

Hello, I have 3 model versions and I'm trying to step through migration. Version 2 makes significant changes to v1. As a result, I've renamed the entities in question by appending _v2 to their name, as the data isn't important to retain. v3, remove's the appended version number from v2. Setting the .xcdatamodeld to v3 and the migrations steps array as follows causes the app to error [ NSLightweightMigrationStage([v1]), NSLightweightMigrationStage([v2]), NSLightweightMigrationStage([v3]), ] CoreData: error: <NSPersistentStoreCoordinator: 0x10740d680>: Attempting recovery from error encountered during addPersistentStore: 0x10770f8a0 Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134110 "An error occurred during persistent store migration." An error occurred during persistent store migration. Cannot merge multiple root entity source tables into one destination entity root table. I find this odd because if I run the migration independently across app launches, the migration appears to drop the no longer used tables in v2, then re-add them back in v3. So it seems to me that something is not finishing completely with the fully stepped through migration. -- I'm also unable to understand how to use NSCustomMigrationStage I've tried setting it to migrate from v1, to v2, but I'm getting a crash with error Duplicate version checksums across stages detected
