Hello, I've been experimenting with the iphone-performance-gaming-tier Device Capability using TestFlight. I've decided I don't want the restriction and I've just submitted a new build (new version number) without the value but the build metadata still includes it. How do i remove it? I don't want to the restriction. Cheers

Hi, everytime I try to run Minecraft Launcher theres a bunch of code that comes up? It ran fine about a month ago but now I cant even open the app, it wont let me copy all of the code but it does say this ""PC register does not match crashing frame (0x0 vs 0x10B338024)"". My Mac is fully up to date, I have deleted and reinstalled Minecraft numerous times ut it continues to display a large amount of code with nothing to fix it. Could someone help me fix it or recommend anything I can do to fix it?

Hello. I have a spatial painting application for AR/VR, and the new system built into VisionOS2 for bringing up the navigation menu constantly interferes with using hand gestures for painting. How can I deactivate the system within the application? It's really a big issue.

Hello, We have a scanning app using Image Capture Core. It is working fine on MacOS up to version 13. We notice now it is broken on Mac OS 15 (Sequoia) because the scannerDevice:didScanToURL: is never invoked when the scanner has scanned a page. Pages are scanned and saved on disk, but didScanToURL is never invoked. Any fix for this?

I'm using the Apple RoomPlan sdk to generate a .usdz file, which works fine, and gives me a 3D scan of my room. But when I try to use Model I/O's MDLAsset to convert that output into an .obj file, it comes out as a completely flat model shaped like a rectangle. Here is my Swift code: let destinationURL = destinationFolderURL.appending(path: "Room.usdz") do { try FileManager.default.createDirectory(at: destinationFolderURL, withIntermediateDirectories: true) try finalResults?.export(to: destinationURL, exportOptions: .model) let newUsdz = destinationURL; let asset = MDLAsset(url: newUsdz); let obj = destinationFolderURL.appending(path: "Room.obj") try asset.export(to: obj) } Not sure what's wrong here. According to MDLAsset documentation, .obj is a supported format and exporting from .usdz to the other formats like .stl and .ply works fine and retains the original 3D shape. Some things I've tried: changing "exportOptions" to parametric, mesh, or model. simply changing the file extension of "destinationURL" (throws error)

Hello. I have an application that exports a 3D object with vertex color to USDC. I'm using an MDLAsset and its functionality to export to USDC with [asset exportAssetToURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath]]. In version 1.3 of the system, everything works correctly. But after updating to version 2.0, the exported object appears white (using the same code). Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

I have followed the documentation to download the UnityPlugins from https://github.com/apple/unityplugins. When I run through the quick guide to create the .tgz builds it builds all the packages except for the Apple.GameKit package, which is the one I need. It looks like during the build process there is a build failure which is likely causing this issue I will post the code below. This is blocking me and I have tried multiple times to the same result.

I am sure others will agree with me on this. I personally don’t like the way the new reactions look. Too many different color for the reactions. I honestly prefer the old grey version for the reactions to text messages. The extra emoji thing is okay but the change in color for the heart, thumbs up and the other reactions are not the best. Auto correct is horrible in this new update by the way

I'll leave this here for anyone who's interested but it is possible to slightly use Windows VR on ARM Mac, right now it's just some demos but I am still working on solutions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbucnU0dpDo&t=431s&ab_channel=NightSightProductions

So I get JPEG data in my app. Previously I was using the higher level NSBitmapImageRep API and just feeding the JPEG data to it. But now I've noticed on Sonoma If I get a JPEG in the CMYK color space the NSBitmapImageRep renders mostly black and is corrupted. So I'm trying to drop down to the lower level APIs. Specifically I grab a CGImageRef and and trying to use the Accelerate API to convert it to another format (to hopefully workaround the issue... CGImageRef sourceCGImage = `CGImageCreateWithJPEGDataProvider(jpegDataProvider,` NULL, shouldInterpolate, kCGRenderingIntentDefault); Now I use vImageConverter_CreateWithCGImageFormat... with the following values for source and destination formats: Source format: (derived from sourceCGImage) bitsPerComponent = 8 bitsPerPixel = 32 colorSpace = (kCGColorSpaceICCBased; kCGColorSpaceModelCMYK; Generic CMYK Profile) bitmapInfo = kCGBitmapByteOrderDefault version = 0 decode = 0x000060000147f780 renderingIntent = kCGRenderingIntentDefault Destination format: bitsPerComponent = 8 bitsPerPixel = 24 colorSpace = (DeviceRBG) bitmapInfo = 8197 version = 0 decode = 0x0000000000000000 renderingIntent = kCGRenderingIntentDefault But vImageConverter_CreateWithCGImageFormat fails with kvImageInvalidImageFormat. Now if I change the destination format to use 32 bitsPerpixel and use alpha in the bitmap info the vImageConverter_CreateWithCGImageFormat does not return an error but I get a black image just like NSBitmapImageRep

In my app, I have an ARView that has cameraMode set to nonAR. I occasionally hide the ARView when it is not needed and reveal it again later. While the ARView is hidden, I'd like to pause the animation to save iPhone battery life. I'd also like to do this when I know that animation in my scene has paused and the contents of the view, although still visible, is static. This was possible using SceneKit, but I can't seem to find an equivalent way to do it using RealityKit. At least as of iOS 18, a hidden ARView with an empty scene appears to use approximately 30% of the CPU. How can I pause ARView so that it won't use the battery unnecessarily? Thank you for considering this question.

Hello, I want to create a painting app for iOS and I saw many examples use a CAShapeLayer to draw a UIBezierPath. As I understand CoreAnimation uses the GPU so I was wondering how is this implemented on the GPU? Or in other words, how would you do it with Metal or OpenGL? I can only think of continuously updating a texture in response to the user's drawing but that would be a very resource intensive operation... Thanks

I am currently working on a project where I aim to overlay the camera feed obtained via the Apple Vision Pro's camera access API to align perfectly with the user's perspective in Vision Pro. However, I've noticed a discrepancy between the captured camera feed and the actual view from the user's perspective. My assumption is that this difference might be related to lens distortion correction or the lack thereof. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure how the camera feed is being corrected or processed. For the overlay, I'm using a typical 3D CG approach where a texture captured from the background plane is projected onto a surface. In this case, the "background capture" is the camera feed that I'm projecting. If anyone has insights or suggestions on how to align the camera feed with the user's perspective more accurately, any information would be greatly appreciated. Attached image shows what difference between the camera feed and actual user's perspective field of view. I want to align the camera feed image to the user's perspective.

I have a game for iOS where I use CADisplayLink to animate a simulation, and for some reason the animation is not getting the full 120hz on capable devices (like iPhone 15 Pro). When I enable a 120hz refresh target, the animation is capped at only 90hz. This looks terrible because the animation works best when doubled (30, 60, 120, 240, etc). The really bizarre thing is that when I turn on Screen Recording, my frame rate instantly jumps to 120, and everything looks perfectly smooth. My game has never looked better on iPhone! When recording is stopped, the animation drops back down to 90 fps. What in the world is going on? [displayLink setPreferredFrameRateRange:CAFrameRateRangeMake(100,240,120)]; //Min. Max, Preferred [displayLink addToRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode]; (Also, CADisableMinimumFrameDurationOnPhone is set to True in info.plist)

Does anyone know why the following call fails? CGPDFOperatorTableSetCallback(operatorTable, "ID", &callback); The PDF specification seems to indicate that ID is an operator? BTW what is the proper topic/subtopic for questions about Quartz? Wasn't sure what topic on the new forums to post this under.

I'm an iOS developer, and I've been testing our app in iOS 18.0 Beta. I noticed that there's a problem with the font rendering, and after troubleshooting, I've found out that it's caused by the removal of the PingFang.ttc font in 18.0. I would like to ask the reason for removing this font file and which font should be used to display Chinese in the future? My test device is an iPhone 11 Pro and the system version is iOS 18.0 (22A5297). I have also tested Beta 1 and it has the same issue. In previous versions of the system, the PingFang font is located in this directory /System/Library/Fonts/LanguageSupport/PingFang.ttc. But in iOS 18.0, the font file in this directory has become Kohinoor.ttc, and I've tested that this font can't display Chinese either. I traversed the following system font directories and could not find the PingFang.ttc font file. /System/Library/Fonts/AppFonts /System/Library/Fonts/Core /System/Library/Fonts/CoreAddition /System/Library/Fonts/CoreUI /System/Library/Fonts/LanguageSupport /System/Library/Fonts/UnicodeSupport /System/Library/Fonts/Watch Looking for answers, thanks for the help!

My app isn’t a game app, but iOS 18 always enable Game Mode for my app automatically. I didn’t find a switch to disable it in Xcode.

Hey folks, I have a legacy game that is running OpenGL ES - and it no longer works on the simulators that are running Apple Silicon, ie iPhone 15 Pro, or the 13" iPads. And yes, i'm also running on Apple Silicon (M1 Max). The apps work fine on the actual devices, but the simulator crashes on any glDrawElements with a stack that looks like the following: I have not yet seen an announcement about this not working but i've seen mention in other apps of stopping to support GL (https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native/issues/2351) Can anyone shed some light? I'm obviously going to try to fix it, or find a recent sample app from which to start to see what might be up. Or move to metal, but i hadn't bargained for that level of effort atm ;) Any suggestions appreciated!

What is the best way to display text over images - I'd like the image to fade to white underneath the text so that the text is easier to read since I have no control over the contents of the images. I thought about having a second label behind the actual label with the same text in a slightly larger font and white color. but I'd rather have it be a gradual fading of the image just under the text rather than what looks like 3D text. Any suggestions?
