Logitech Muse never appears under Settings > General > Spatial Accessory — spatial tracking permission never granted

I'm building a visionOS 26 app that uses SpatialTrackingSession with .accessory tracking and AnchoringComponent.AccessoryAnchoringSource to track a Logitech Muse, following the pattern from the WWDC25 "Explore spatial accessory input on visionOS" session (and matching two independently published implementations I found).

What works: The Muse pairs fine over Bluetooth, connects as a GCStylus (productCategory == .spatialStylus), GCStylusDidConnect fires, and button input (pressedDidChangeHandler) works correctly.

What doesn't: SpatialTrackingSession.run() always reports .accessory as unavailable, so AnchoringComponent.AccessoryAnchoringSource(device:) never succeeds. Checking Settings > General > Spatial Accessory on the device shows the Muse isn't listed there at all — not even a battery/status entry. Settings > Privacy & Security > Spatial Accessory also never lists our app.

What I've tried:

  • Forgetting the Muse in Bluetooth and re-pairing
  • Full power-cycle of both Bluetooth and the Muse itself
  • Confirmed NSAccessoryTrackingUsageDescription is set and the Accessory Tracking + Game Controllers (Spatial Gamepad) capabilities are enabled in Xcode
  • Confirmed via Apple's own docs, the WWDC session, and two developer write-ups that no special commissioning step beyond standard Bluetooth pairing should be needed

For comparison, XR Putt (which also uses the Muse) works fine and does show up with a green checkmark under Spatial Accessory permissions on the same headset.

Has anyone hit this specific "device never gets commissioned as a spatial accessory" issue, or knows what actually triggers that commissioning beyond generic Bluetooth pairing? Happy to share more logs/details.
