I am implementing a custom generic spatial accessory according to Section 20 of the Accessory Design Guidelines dated 2026-06-08. Apple Vision Pro discovers the accessory, completes BLE pairing and encryption, reads the Apple Spatial Accessory Version and Uniform Type Identifiers characteristics, and recognizes the device in the accessory tracking debug view. However, visionOS writes ASA protocol version 00.00 to the Apple Spatial Accessory Host Version characteristic instead of selecting version 01.01.
Here is the log message when I connected my spatial accessory with apple vision pro with os27 beta 3. The error is the ASA part.
