I've encountered an unexpected crash with RoomPlan on iOS 16 devices. The odd part is the code is protected by an available check, since I'm using newer RoomPlan features.
Xcode error
dyld[40588]: Symbol not found: _$s8RoomPlan08CapturedA0V16USDExportOptionsV5modelAEvgZ
I can repro using the Apple sample code.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/roomplan/create-a-3d-model-of-an-interior-room-by-guiding-the-user-through-an-ar-experience
Modify RoomCaptureViewController.swift as follows.
Remove
try finalResults?.export(to: destinationURL, exportOptions: .parametric)
Add
if #available(iOS 17.0, *) {
try finalResults?.export(to: destinationURL, exportOptions: .model)
} else {
try finalResults?.export(to: destinationURL, exportOptions: .parametric)
}
I would have expected this code to at least compile and run on older devices.
When the app was targeting iOS 15, the available checks worked as expected and the app is able to launch properly.

Hello,
I'm developing a visionOS application for Apple Vision Pro that aims to scan unknown physical objects, capture their 3D data (such as meshes or point clouds), and export them as 3D models. Ideally, I'd also like to visualize these reconstructions in real-time within the headset.
This functionality is similar to what's available in Reality Composer on iPad and iPhone, but I'm seeking to implement it natively on Vision Pro.
I've reviewed the visionOS documentation but haven't found clear guidance on accessing LiDAR depth data or performing scene reconstruction.
Specifically, I'm interested in:
1.Accessing LiDAR or depth data from Vision Pro's sensors.
2.Utilizing ARKit's scene reconstruction capabilities on visionOS.
3.Exporting captured 3D data as models (e.g., USDZ or OBJ formats).
Are there APIs or frameworks in visionOS that support these features?

Hello,
There are odd artifacts (one looks like an image placeholder) appearing when dismissing an immersive space which is displaying an ImagePresentationComponent. Both artifacts look like widgets..
See below our simple code displaying the ImagePresentationComponent and the images of the odd artifacts that appear briefly when dismissing the immersive space.
import OSLog
import RealityKit
import SwiftUI
struct ImmersiveImageView: View {
let logger = Logger(subsystem: AppConstant.SUBSYSTEM, category: "ImmersiveImageView")
@Environment(AppModel.self) private var appModel
var body: some View {
RealityView { content in
if let currentMedia = appModel.currentMedia,
var imagePresentationComponent = currentMedia.imagePresentationComponent {
let imagePresentationComponentEntity = Entity()
switch currentMedia.type {
case .iphoneSpatialMovie:
logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) spatial3DImmersive display for \(String(describing: currentMedia))")
imagePresentationComponent.desiredViewingMode = .spatial3DImmersive
case .twoD:
logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) spatial3DImmersive display for \(String(describing: currentMedia))")
imagePresentationComponent.desiredViewingMode = .spatial3DImmersive
case .visionProConvertedSpatialPhoto:
logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) spatialStereoImmersive display for \(String(describing: currentMedia))")
imagePresentationComponent.desiredViewingMode = .spatialStereoImmersive
default :
logger.error("\(#function) \(#line) Unsupported media type \(currentMedia.type)")
assertionFailure("Unsupported media type \(currentMedia.type)")
}
imagePresentationComponentEntity.components.set(imagePresentationComponent)
imagePresentationComponentEntity.position = AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition
content.add(imagePresentationComponentEntity)
}
let toggleViewAttachmentComponent = ViewAttachmentComponent(rootView: ToggleImmersiveSpaceButton())
let toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity = Entity(components: toggleViewAttachmentComponent)
toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity.position = SIMD3<Float>(
AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition.x + 1,
AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition.y,
AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition.z
)
toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity.scale = AppConstant.Scale.attachments
content.add(toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity)
}
}
}
I want to select a sub model under a large model in a mixed space, and when I select this sub model, I will add a stroke to it, similar to the effect of selecting a model in Reality Composer Pro ,How to create entity strokes similar to this effect
当我进入混合空间时,出现一个模型,但模型后面有一个 windowGroup,无法完全查看。如果我想点击进入 mix 空间,我需要使用代码将 windowGroup 移动到另一个位置,而不是手动移动

In my Reality Composer Pro workflow for Vision Pro development, I’m using xcrun realitytool image to pre-compress textures into .ktx format, typically using ASTC block compression. These textures are used for cubemaps and environment assets.
I’ve noticed that regardless of the image content—whether it’s a highly detailed photo or a completely black image—once compressed with the same ASTC block size (e.g., ASTC_8x8), the resulting .ktx file size is nearly identical. There appears to be no content-aware logic that adapts the compression ratio to the actual texture complexity.
In contrast, Unreal Engine behaves differently: even when all cubemap faces are imported at the same resolution as DDS textures, the engine performs content-aware compression during packaging:
Low-complexity images are compressed more aggressively
The final packaged file size varies based on content complexity
Since Reality Composer Pro requires textures to be pre-compressed as .ktx, there’s no opportunity for runtime optimization or per-image compression adjustment.
Just wondering: is there any recommended way to implement content-aware compression for .ktx textures in Reality Composer Pro?
Or any best practices to optimize .ktx sizes based on image complexity?
Thanks!
Can I apply .scrollInputBehavior(.enabled, for: .look) to a WebView (wrapped UIViewRepresentable) in a visionOS 26 app?
I tried it myself, but I couldn't do it, so I would like to know if there is any way to do this.
Best regards.

Hello,
We've been working for months now on an App for the Vision Pro.
(it's been great btw!)
We already have an App in the App Store for iOS, and have been migrating our platform from the Microsoft Hololens 2 to the AVP:
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NPPP031VHD1
We require the Main Camera access and already have gotten the Enterprise.license for development purposes.
Unfortunately, we cannot publish our Business App (which uses an Enterprise API) under the same Name/Bundle ID as our iOS App because it would conflict with our current Distribution Method.
We arrived at the conclusion that we need a new Enterprise.license under a different Bundle ID to create a new App for the Business Store.
Has anyone been in the same boat as us, and tried to publish to the Business Store while already having an App in the Public App Store under the same name?
We applied to get another license for distribution under another name (with "Pro" at the end), but it's been stuck in limbo for over a month now (probably because the new bundle ID doesn't have any track record).
Anyhow, thanks for any help, we're open to suggestions as to how to proceed!
I noticed in the latest macOS beta 3 that there was this update:
A new algorithm significantly improves PhotogrammetrySession reconstruction quality of low-texture objects not captured with the ObjectCaptureSession front end. It will be downloaded and cached once in the background when the PhotogrammetrySession is used at runtime. If network isn’t available at that time, the old low quality model will be used until the new one can be downloaded. There is no code change needed to get this improved model. (145220451)
I am not noticing any difference to before with the reconstructions I tested so I am assuming it's reverting to the old model but in the logs there is no way to see if it succeeds or fails to download that new model.
do you have any more information on what was improved here with some examples and what we should be looking for? also how can confirm the download of that new model has not failed?
I'm currently implementing 180° / 360° immersive video for my app.
I easily implemented 360° by just applying VideoMaterial to flipped sphere.
But I'm stuck at 180°. I'm trying to implement by applying VideoMaterial to hemisphere (half sphere). I want to make VideoMaterial to be visible half front sphere and half back sphere transparent / clear.
Would there be any advice / information / idea to implement this? Your help would be grateful.
I'm using Unity 2022.3.56f, with Apple VisionOS App Mode set to 'Virtual Reality - Fully Immersive Space'.
It seems that the render resolution of my game in the Apple Vision Pro when I build is well below the native resolution of the AVP displays.
I can't see a setting in XR Plug-in Management Apple visionOS options, or in Quality settings, to increase the render resolutions. Is this possible?
I tried setting:
UnityEngine.XR.XRSettings.eyeTextureResolutionScale= 2.0f
For example, but this doesn't seem to do anything to the render resolution in the build.

ARKit
The AR based app I am working on right now is experiencing an issue. Sometimes, the AR session fails with a call to my ARSessionObserver's session(_ session: ARSession, didFailWithError error: Error)
with the following error:
Error Domain=com.apple.arkit.error
Code=102 "Required sensor failed."
NSLocalizedFailureReason="A sensor failed to deliver the required input.,"
NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion="Make sure that the application has the required privacy settings."
The underlying error seems to point to the CoreMotion framework:
Domain=CMErrorDomain
Code=102 "(null)
Some people seem to have experienced this issue and solved it by making sure that the Compass Calibration switch is ON in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services.
For context, the ARWorldTrackingConfiguration.worldAlignment is set to .gravity
The thing is it is already ON when I experience this issue.
I also noticed that this issue happens way more often on the iPhone 16e than in any other device.
Has anyone had similar experiences? I am looking for a way to prevent this error from happening (ideally) or handling in a way that does not affect the user. Any help is appreciated
I'm getting the following error message when compiling the Apple provided sample, Spaceship game for the Apple Visio Pro. I've already tried deleting the derived data resetting the package cache and restarting Xcode but still getting the following error: [xrsimulator] Exception thrown during compile: Cannot get rkassets content for path /Users/myoungkang/Downloads/CreatingASpaceshipGame/Packages/Studio/Sources/Studio/Studio.rkassets because 'The file “Studio.rkassets” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it.'

Environment
Xcode: 16.2
VisionOS SDK 2.4
Swift 6.1
Targets: Apple Vision Pro (immersive space)
Frameworks: ARKit, RealityKit, SwiftUI
What I’m Trying to Do
I have a view-model class PlacementManager that holds two AR providers:
private var worldTracking: WorldTrackingProvider
private var planeDetection: PlaneDetectionProvider
I want to dynamically replace these providers in a setEnvironment(_:) method (so I can save/clear a JSON scene and restart ARKit).
What’s Happening
If I declare them as :
private let worldTracking = WorldTrackingProvider()
private let planeDetection = PlaneDetectionProvider()
I get compile-errors when I later do:
self.worldTracking = newWorldTracking // Cannot assign to property: 'worldTracking' is a 'let' constant
If I change them to un-initialized vars:
private var worldTracking: WorldTrackingProvider
private var planeDetection: PlaneDetectionProvider
then in my init() I get:
self used in property access 'worldTracking' before all stored properties are initialized
Code snipet
@Observable
final class PlacementManager : ObservableObject {
private var worldTracking: WorldTrackingProvider
private var planeDetection: PlaneDetectionProvider
// … other props …
@MainActor
init() {
// error: self.worldTracking used before init…
planeAnchorHandler = PlaneAnchorHandler(rootEntity: root)
persistenceManager = PersistenceManager(
worldTracking: worldTracking,
rootEntity: root
)
// …
}
@MainActor
func setEnvironment(env: Environnement) async {
let newWorldTracking = WorldTrackingProvider()
let newPlaneDetection = PlaneDetectionProvider()
try await appState!.arkitSession.run(
[ newWorldTracking, newPlaneDetection ]
)
self.worldTracking = newWorldTracking
self.planeDetection = newPlaneDetection
// …
}
}
What I’ve Tried
Giving them default values at declaration (= WorldTrackingProvider())
Initializing them at the top of init() before any use
Passing the new providers into arkitSession.run(...)
My Question
What is the recommended Swift-style pattern to declare and reassign these ARKit provider properties so that:
They’re fully initialized before use in init(), and
I can swap them out later in setEnvironment(...) without compiler errors?
Any pointers (or links to forum threads / docs) would be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
I'm encountering an issue in our app that uses RoomPlan and ARsession for scanning.
After prolonged use—especially under heavy load from both the scanning process and other unrelated app operations—the iPhone becomes very hot, and the following warning begins to appear more frequently:
"ARSession <0x107559680>: The delegate of ARSession is retaining 11 ARFrames. The camera will stop delivering camera images if the delegate keeps holding on to too many ARFrames. This could be a threading or memory management issue in the delegate and should be fixed."
I was able to reproduce this behavior using Apple’s RoomPlanExampleApp, with only one change: I introduced a CPU-intensive workload at the end of the startSession() function:
DispatchQueue.global().asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5) {
for i in 0..<4 {
var value = 10_000
DispatchQueue.global().async {
while true {
value *= 10_000
value /= 10_000
value ^= 10_000
value = 10_000
}
}
}
}
I suspect this is some RoomPlan API problem that's why a filed an feedback: 17441091
Here is the sample project from apple of Object Tracking.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionOS/exploring_object_tracking_with_arkit
can we improve it tracking accuracy and tracking when object is moving little faster, so the 3d object that draw still follow it and make it more accurate.
Hi,
after upgrading to 2.4.1 (from 1.0) my vision stucks on "Retrieving configuration" screen. Apple Store didn't support my case since it has been sold in USA and the product isn't still present in italian market. I don't have dev strap, how can I manage the issue?
Thank you

I have an arguably massive project and am not sure if the issue is with the assets or my approach in the code.
the error says : Tool terminated due to error "SIGNAL 6:Abort trap:6"
Basically I have around 15-20 assets (usda files built out of usdz files). In the code i am loading a scene with all the usda files and then have the functions to enable and disable a particular asset when needed.
This was working as intended when i am using dummy assets(with less polygons, lesser textures)
But when i placed the actual assets the error appears and persists. Do I have a bad approach of loading all the scenes at once?
Previously i have used an approach which loads the scenes when needed and that involved some lag before rendering the assets. But my current approach(when using dummies) works like a dime rendering and hiding the assets in realtime with no lag.
Kindly suggest any workarounds.
