Hi, We've been leveraging AppClips on iOS for a while now to distribute native-app quality AR experiences (utilising ARKit and RealityKit) with the accessibility of a website. This has been a crucial differentiator for us and is a core driver for our business. Since our authoring tools also allows to run the same AR experiences on Vision Pro it would be amazing if they could be triggered by App Clips here as well. We've got this feedback from clients and users multiple times and since there seems to already be some basic App Clips support (e.g when registering the custom lens inserts) integrated into the system we would immensely appreciate if this feature could be opened up for 3rd party developers as well. Associated feedback ID: FB13348462 Thank you!

I have a working Xcode Cloud setup for my iOS and macOS targets, and I'm trying to add visionOS support. The issue is that Firebase requires using their source distribution for visionOS (instead of their default binary distribution). Locally, this works by launching Xcode with: open -a Xcode --env FIREBASE_SOURCE_FIRESTORE project.xcodeproj For Xcode Cloud, I've added a ci_post_clone.sh script that sets this environment variable for visionOS builds: #!/bin/bash if [[ $CI_PRODUCT_PLATFORM == "xrOS" ]]; then echo "Running setup for visionOS..." export FIREBASE_SOURCE_FIRESTORE=1 fi However, I'm getting the following error during build: an out-of-date resolved file was detected at /.../project.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/swiftpm/Package.resolved, which is not allowed when automatic dependency resolution is disabled So since setting FIREBASE_SOURCE_FIRESTORE=1 changes which SPM dependencies are required: Normal setup uses: abseil-cpp-binary, grpc-binary Source distribution needs: abseil-cpp-swiftpm, grpc-ios, boringssl-swiftpm What's the recommended way to handle this in Xcode Cloud when maintaining builds for all platforms? Should I be using separate workflows with different branches for different platforms? Or is there a better approach? System: Xcode 16.2 Using SPM for dependency management Firebase iOS SDK 10.29.0 Building for iOS, macOS, and visionOS Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Sidebars for mac Catalyst apps running with UIDesignRequiresCompatibility flag render their active items with a white bg tint – resulting in labels and icons being not visible. mac OS Tahoe 26.1 Beta 3 (25B5062e) FB20765036 Example (Apple Developer App):

When assigning a ManipulationComponent to an Entity SceneEvents.WillRemoveEntity will be called for that Entity. Expected Behavior: the Entity is not (even if temporarily) removed from the Scene and no SceneEvents will be triggered as a result of assigning a ManipulationComponent. FB20872220

Hello, creating a simple-as-it-gets Slider in SwiftUI and then running that app on Mac Catalyst with the macOS idiom enabled, the app crashes: struct ContentView: View { @State private var sliderValue: Double = 0.4 var body: some View { VStack { Slider(value: $sliderValue) } .padding() } } running this will result in an exception: _setMinimumEnabledValue: is not supported on UISlider when running Catalyst apps in the Mac idiom. See UIBehavioralStyle for possible alternatives. This is obviously not ideal and also apparently no documented. Is there a workaround for this? It used to work for on macOS Sonoma. macOS 26 RC Xcode 26 RC FB20191635 Thanks!

Hello, I've been tinkering with PortalComponent on visionOS a bit but noticed that the content of the WorldComponent is always clipped to the mesh geometry of whatever entities have the PortalComponent applied. Now I'm wondering if there is any way or trick to allow contents of the portal to peek out – similar to the Encounter Dinosaurs experience on Vision Pro (I assume it also uses PortalComponent?). I saw that PortalComponent has a clippingPlane property (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/portalcomponent/clippingplane-swift.property). But so far I haven't been able to achieve a perceptible visual difference with it. If possible I would like to avoid hacky tricks using duplicate meshes or similar to achieve this. Thanks for any hints!

Hello, I'm getting started for my project with Xcode Cloud since I upgraded to the macOS Sequioa Beta and Xcode 16 now refuses to archive builds for TestFlight. Somewhere very late in the build process I get the following error: realitytool requires Metal for this operation and it is not available in this build environment The log says this happens at: Compile Skybox urban.skybox My project uses RealityKit. How can I fix this issue? Thanks!

Hi, is there a way in visionOS to anchor an entity to the POV via RealityKit? I need an entity which is always fixed to the 'camera'. I'm aware that this is discouraged from a design perspective as it can be visually distracting. In my case though I want to use it to attach a fixed collider entity, so that the camera can collide with objects in the scene. Edit: ARView on iOS has a lot of very useful helper properties and functions like cameraTransform (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/arview/cameratransform) How would I get this information on visionOS? RealityViews content does not seem offer anything comparable. An example use case would be that I would like to add an entity to the scene at my users eye-level, basically depending on their height. I found https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/realityrenderer which has an activeCamera property but so far it's unclear to me in which context RealityRenderer is used and how I could access it. Appreciate any hints, thanks!
