I've just implemented some necessary fixes to our app to ensure compatibility with iOS 15 and ARKit 2. Now when I deploy the app via XCode 13 RC (Version 13.0 (13A233)) I get the following crash right at launch: dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/RealityFoundation.framework/RealityFoundation   Referenced from: /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/…   Reason: image not found dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/system/introspection DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/Developer/usr/lib/libBacktraceRecording.dylib:/Developer/usr/lib/libMainThreadChecker.dylib:/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDDISupport.framework/libViewDebuggerSupport.dylib Is this a known issue? I've already tried deleting Derived Data and clearing the project but the problem persists. The minimum deployment target is iOS 13 for the main app and iOS 14 for the AppClip. All iOS 15 related fixes are wrapped into if #available(iOS 15.0, *) { … } This is a pretty major problem for us as we now can't send out Testflights or upload to AppStoreConnect for Monday. Thanks!

Hello, I have a cylinder with an Unlit Material and a base color set. Now I want to apply a gradient as the alpha mask so I get this kind of halo GTA-like checkpoint look. The code: var baseMaterial = UnlitMaterial(color: UIColor.red) baseMaterial.blending = .transparent(opacity: .init(scale: 100, texture: .init(maskTextureResource))) // maskTextureResource is the gradient mask baseMaterial.opacityThreshold = 0 This works but unfortunately leads to some ugly visible gradient banding. I've also tried to play with the scale of the blending texture but that did not help. As an alternative approach I tried to solve this via a custom surface shader. Code below: [[visible]] void gradientShader(realitykit::surface_parameters params) {     auto surface = params.surface();     float2 uv = params.geometry().uv0();     float h = 0.5; // adjust position of middleColor     half startAlpha = 0.001;     half middleAlpha = 1;     half endAlpha = 0.001;     half alpha = mix(mix(startAlpha, middleAlpha, half(uv.y/h)), mix(middleAlpha, endAlpha, half((uv.y - h)/(1.0 - h))), half(step(h, uv.y))); surface.set_emissive_color(half3(params.material_constants().emissive_color())); surface.set_base_color(half3(params.material_constants().base_color_tint()));     surface.set_opacity(alpha); } The result looks really nice and smooth but unfortunately this now also culls the inner part of the cylinder. Even on the semitransparent parts. What I want is a having the effect applied on both the outer and inner part of the cylinder being visible. So the transparent part of the outside allows you to seethrough to the inside. I've got this working by using a PhysicallyBasedMaterial instead of an UnlitMaterial (which does not support blending out of the box) but again had to issue with the banding. On my Custom Material faceCulling is set to .none. Here is how it currently looks – as you can see in the left one the alpha mask is not smooth and has banding artefacts: Thank you for any help!

Hello, PhysicallyBasedMaterial in RealityKit 2 contains a blending property to adjust the transparency of a material. Is there a way to animate this over time to fade entities in and out? I've tried the new FromToByAnimation API but could not figure out if there is a supported BindPath for the transparency. Ideally what I would like to achieve is something similar to SceneKits SCNAction.fadeIn(duration: …) which also worked on a whole node. I figured I could also go the route of a custom fragment shader here, though that seems overkill. As RealityComposer also supports fade actions I would assume that this is at least supported behind the scenes. Thanks for any help!

Hello, in this project https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/content_anchors/tracking_and_visualizing_faces there is some sample code that describes how to map the camera feed to an object with SceneKit and a shader modifier. I would like know if there is an easy way to achieve the same thing with a CustomMaterial and RealityKit 2. Specifically I'm interested in what would be the best way to pass in the background of the RealityKit environment as a texture to the custom shader. In SceneKit this was really easy as one could just do the following: material.diffuse.contents = sceneView.scene.background.contents As the texture input for custom material requires a TextureResource I would probably need a way to create a CGImage from the background or camera feed on the fly. What I've tried so far is accessing the captured image from the camera feed and creating a CGImage from the pixel buffer like so: guard     let frame = arView.session.currentFrame,     let cameraFeedTexture = CGImage.create(pixelBuffer: frame.capturedImage),     let textureResource = try? TextureResource.generate(from: cameraFeedTexture, withName: "cameraFeedTexture", options: .init(semantic: .color)) else {     return } // assign texture customMaterial.custom.texture = .init(textureResource) extension CGImage {   public static func create(pixelBuffer: CVPixelBuffer) -> CGImage? {     var cgImage: CGImage?     VTCreateCGImageFromCVPixelBuffer(pixelBuffer, options: nil, imageOut: &cgImage)     return cgImage   } } This seems wasteful though and is also quite slow. Is there any other way to accomplish this efficiently or would I need to go the post processing route? In the sample code the displayTransform for the view is also being passed as a SCNMatrix4. CustomMaterial custom.value only accepts a SIMD4 though. Is there another way to pass in the matrix? Another idea I've had was to create a CustomMaterial from an OcclusionMaterial which already seems to contain information about the camera feed but so far had no luck with it. Thanks for the support!
