Thank you again for pushing the web forward in VisionOS 2, super exciting! The latest WWDC24 video touched on VR experiences for VisionOS2.0 using WebXR, however there was no mention of passthrough AR experiences. Samples such as this one are not supported: https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-samples/immersive-ar-session.html In Settings > Safari, there is a feature flag for the AR WebXR module, but enabling it did not seem to change anything. Is this the expected behavior at this time? Any developer preview(s) we could try?

Most models are only available as glb or fbx, so I usually reexport them into usdz using Blender. When I import them into Reality Composer Pro, Mesh, Textures etc look great, but in the Animation Library subsection all I can see is one default subtree animation. In Blender I can see all available animations and play them individually. The default subtree animation just plays the default idle animation. In fact when I open the nonlinear animation view in Blender and select a different animation as the default animation, the exported usdz shows the newly selected animation as default subtree animation. I can see in the Apple sample apps models can have multiple animations in their Animation Library. I'm using the latest Blender 4.5 and the usdz exporter should be working properly?

We got very excited when we saw support for the PSVR2 on WWDC! Particularly interesting is WebXR to us, so we got the controllers to give it a try. Unfortunately they only register as gamepads in the navigator but not as XRInputDevice's We went through the experimental flags and didn't find something that is directly related. Is there a flag we missed? If not, when do you have PSVR2 support planned for WebXR?

The landing page for visionOS 26 mentions The Unified Coordinate Conversion API makes moving views and entities between scenes straightforward — even between views and ARKit accessory anchors. This WWDC session very briefly shows a single example of using this, but with no context. For example, they discuss a way to tell the distance between a Model3D and an entity in a RealityView. But they don't provide any details for how they are referencing the entity (bolts in the slide). The session used the BOT-anist example project that we saw in visionOS 2, but the version on in the Sample Code library has not been updated with these examples. I was able to put together a simple example where we can get the position of a window relative to the world origin. It even updates when the user recenters. struct Lab080: View { @State private var posX: Float = 0 @State private var posY: Float = 0 @State private var posZ: Float = 0 var body: some View { GeometryReader3D { geometry in VStack { Text("Unified Coordinate Conversion") .font(.largeTitle) .padding(24) VStack { Text("X: \(posX)") Text("Y: \(posY)") Text("Z: \(posZ)") } .font(.title) .padding(24) } .onGeometryChange3D(for: Point3D.self) { proxy in try! proxy .coordinateSpace3D() .convert(value: Point3D.zero, to: .worldReference) } action: { old, new in posX = Float(new.x) posY = Float(new.y) posZ = Float(new.z) } } } } This is all that I've been able to figure out so far. What other features are included in this new Unified Coordinate Conversion? Can we use this to get the position of one window relative to another? Can we use this to get the position of a view in a window relative to an entity in a RealityView, for example in a Volume or Immersive Space? What else can Unified Coordinate Conversion do? Are there documentation pages that I'm missing? I'm not sure what to search for. Are there any Sample projects that use these features? Any additional information would be very helpful.

When using the new RealityKit Manipulation Component on Entities, indirect input will never translate the entity - no matter what settings are applied. Direct manipulation works as expected for both translation and rotation. Is this intended behaviour? This is different from how indirect manipulation works on Model3D. How else can we get translation from this component? visionOS 26 Beta 2 Build from macOS 26 Beta 2 and Xcode 26 Beta 2 Attached is replicable sample code, I have tried this in other projects with the same results. var body: some View { RealityView { content in // Add the initial RealityKit content if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "MovieFilmReel", in: reelRCPBundle) { ManipulationComponent.configureEntity(immersiveContentEntity, allowedInputTypes: .all, collisionShapes: [ShapeResource.generateBox(width: 0.2, height: 0.2, depth: 0.2)]) immersiveContentEntity.position.y = 1 immersiveContentEntity.position.z = -0.5 var mc = ManipulationComponent() mc.releaseBehavior = .stay immersiveContentEntity.components.set(mc) content.add(immersiveContentEntity) } } }

In Beta 1,2, and 3, we could pick up and inspect entities, bringing them closer while moving them outside of the bounds of a volume. As of Beta 4, these entities are now clipped by the bounds of the volume. I'm not sure if this is a bug or an intended change, but I files a Feedback report (FB19005083). The release notes don't mention a change in behavior–at least not that I can find. Is this an intentional change or a bug? Here is a video that shows the issue. https://youtu.be/ajBAaSxLL2Y In the previous versions of visionOS 26, I could move these entities out of the volume and inspect them close up. Releasing would return them to the volume. Now they are clipped as soon as they reach the end of the volume. I haven't had a chance to test with windows or with the SwiftUI modifier version of manipulation.

Hello, I am in the process of implementing SharePlay support in my visionOS app. Everything runs fine when I test locally, but when my app is distributed via TestFlight, calling try await activity.activate() shows the SharePlay dialog as usual, but then when I start a new FaceTime call, my ImmersiveSpace gets dismissed. This is only happening when the app is distributed via TestFlight, when I run it locally the ImmersiveSpace stays active as expected. Looking at the console on my Mac I found this log: Invalid initial client settings class: UIApplicationSceneClientSettings; expected class: MRUISharedApplicationSceneClientSettings; bundle ID: com.apple.facetime; scene ID: com.apple.facetime:SFBSystemService-DDA8C751-C0C4-487E-AD85-59EF4E6C6050 Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this? It's driving me nuts and I wasted over a day looking for a workaround but so far been unsuccessful. Thanks!

I recently added pushWindow to my app, and I discovered that in visionOS 26.2 RC (23N301), pushWindow followed by dismissWindow no longer works as expected. Specifically, if the user moves the pushed window, then when the pushed window is later dismissed, the parent window's position isn't aligned with the pushed window's new position. Its original position is restored instead. Curiously, the bug only happens when an app is launched from the visionOS home view, and not when an app is launched from Xcode. It also doesn't happen in the visionOS 26.2 simulator. Another interesting detail is that while the parent window is hidden, if the user long-presses the Digital Crown and then dismisses the pushed window, the parent window's position seems to be immune from the Digital Crown scene reorientation. It's restored to its original real world position. Demo video: https://youtu.be/zR3t2ON3Wz0 I've submitted feedback as FB21287011 with a sample app and detailed repro steps. Has anyone else encountered this issue already and figured out a workaround? It would be nice if I could get pushWindow to work correctly in my app. Thanks everybody! 😀

Starting in visionOS 26, users can snap windows to surfaces. These windows are locked in place and are later restored by visionOS. We can access the snapped data with surfaceSnappingInfo docs. Users can also lock a free-floating (unsnapped) window from a context menu in the window controls. Is there a way to tell when a window has been locked without being snapped to a surface?

I downloaded Xcode 16 and updated my macOS to 15, but I keep getting this error when trying to build the game in simulator or in device [xrsimulator] Exception thrown: The operation couldn’t be completed. (realitytool.RKAssetsCompiler.RKAssetsCompilerError error 3.)

Hello, I've been tinkering a bit with TextComponent. Based on the docs it seems like this component should always render sharp and nice text, no matter how close the user gets: RealityKit dynamically adjusts the backing size to a value that results in high-fidelity text at its current location. And it does on visionOS, but on iOS and macOS the text gets pixelated when I get close to it, as if its just rendering it once as a plain image texture. Can anyone tell me if this is expected behavior or a bug? Here two screenshots for comparison (iPhone and Vision Pro): Thanks!

I am testing out the Gen 2 of the developer strap on my Vision Pro M2 and I have only been able to get USB 2 speeds when connecting it to my MacBook Pro Max M3. I used the official Apple Thunderbolt 4 cable, which does get Thunderbolt speeds on my T7 Touch drive. Has anyone figured out a solution for this issue? The Gen 2 developer strap does advertise 20 Gb/s speeds.

Hi, We’ve been successfully using the RoomPlan API in our application for over two years. Recently, however, users have reported encountering persistent capture errors during their sessions. Specifically, the errors observed are: CaptureError.worldTrackingFailure CaptureError.exceedSceneSizeLimit What we have observed: Persistent Errors: The errors continue to occur even after initiating new capture sessions. Normal Usage: Our implementation adheres to typical usage patterns of the RoomPlan API without exceeding any documented room size limits. Limited Feature Usage: We are not utilizing the WorldTracking feature for the StructureBuilder functionality to stitch rooms together. Potential State Caching: Given that these errors persist across sessions, we suspect that there might be memory or state cached between sessions that is not being cleared, particularly since we are not taking advantage of StructureBuilder. Request: Could you please advise if there is any internal caching or memory retention between capture sessions that might lead to these errors? Additionally, we would appreciate guidance on how to clear or manage this state when the StructureBuilder feature is not in use. Here is a generalised version of our capture session initialization code to help diagnose the issue. struct RoomARCaptureView: UIViewRepresentable { typealias Handler = (CapturedRoom, Error?) -> Void @Binding var stop: Bool @Binding var done: Bool let completion: Handler? func makeUIView(context: Self.Context) -> RoomCaptureView { let view = RoomCaptureView(frame: .zero) view.delegate = context.coordinator view.captureSession.run(configuration: .init()) return view } func updateUIView(_ uiView: RoomCaptureView, context: Self.Context) { if stop { // Stop the session only once, multiple times causes issues with the final presentation uiView.captureSession.stop() stop = false done = true } } static func dismantleUIView(_ uiView: RoomCaptureView, coordinator: Self.Coordinator) { uiView.captureSession.stop() } func makeCoordinator() -> ARViewCoordinator { ARViewCoordinator(completion) } @objc(ARViewCoordinator) class ARViewCoordinator: NSObject, RoomCaptureViewDelegate { var completion: Handler? public required init?(coder: NSCoder) {} public func encode(with coder: NSCoder) {} public init(_ completion: Handler?) { super.init() self.completion = completion } public func captureView(shouldPresent roomDataForProcessing: CapturedRoomData, error: (Error)?) -> Bool { return true } public func captureView(didPresent processedResult: CapturedRoom, error: (Error)?) { completion?(processedResult, error) } } } Thank you for your assistance.

That title would have made a great WWDC Sessions. Unfortunately, it seems like nothing is new in Reality Composer Pro this year. I've noticed at all versions of the Xcode Beta this summer have shipped with Reality Composer Pro version 2.0. There have been slight bumps in the build number. I haven't found any new features or seen any documentation to indicate that anything has changed. So the question is, what is the state of Reality Composer Pro? Should we continue to use this tool or start doing everything in code? A huge number of Sample Projects use Reality Composer Pro, so it seems like Apple is still using it even if they didn't update it this year.

We have been using RoomPlan in our app for 2+ years. Through a combination of in-app and manual coaching on scanning best practices, most users are able to achieve high-quality scans on a consistent basis. In recent weeks, however, we have observed an increase in reports of degraded scanning performance, even from veteran users who had not previously encountered issues. The RoomCaptureView overlay is jittery and crooked, and the resulting scan file has significant issues, even for simple, well-lit rectangular rooms. It is difficult to troubleshoot these issues given the number of variables at play, and the overall volume of reports is still relatively low, but we'd appreciate any guidance on known issues or workarounds that could help unblock our users who are being affected by this. I noticed that this post includes an acknowledgement of FB14454922 and FB15035788. Our issues seem slightly different as the scans are simply inaccurate and jittery without failing outright. I haven't found any other threads on similar issues.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to verify something mentioned in the WWDC session “Explore enhancements to your spatial business app.” At timestamp 3:36, the presenter states: “You can now access your enterprise license files directly within your Apple Developer account.” I’ve checked every section of my Developer account, including: • Membership and Agreements • Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles • App Store Connect • Additional Resources • Account settings …but no UI or section exposes these enterprise license files. Since the Vision Entitlement Services framework actively checks these licenses (for example, mainCameraAccess entitlement approval), I need to confirm the location of the new license file. Could someone from Apple or anyone who has seen this feature clarify: 1. Where exactly do these enterprise license files appear in the Developer account UI, or 2. Whether this feature has not rolled out yet? Any guidance or screenshots from those who have access would be invaluable. Thanks,

I’ve been having some issues removing anchors. I can add anchors with no issue. They will be there the next time I run the scene. I can also get updates when ARKit sends them. I can remove anchors, but not all the time. The method I’m using is to call removeAnchor() on the data provider. worldTracking.removeAnchor(forID: uuid) // Yes, I have also tried `removeAnchor(_ worldAnchor: WorldAnchor)` This works if there are more than one anchor in a scene. When I’m down to one remaining anchor, I can remove it. It seems to succeed (does not raise an error) but the next time I run the scene the removed anchor is back. This only happens when there is only one remaining anchor. do { // This always run, but it doesn't seem to "save" the removal when there is only one anchor left. try await worldTracking.removeAnchor(forID: uuid) } catch { // I have never seen this block fire! print("Failed to remove world anchor \(uuid) with error: \(error).") } I posted a video on my website if you want to see it happening. https://stepinto.vision/labs/lab-051-issues-with-world-tracking/ Here is the full code. Can you see if I’m doing something wrong? Is this a bug? struct Lab051: View { @State var session = ARKitSession() @State var worldTracking = WorldTrackingProvider() @State var worldAnchorEntities: [UUID: Entity] = [:] @State var placement = Entity() @State var subject : ModelEntity = { let subject = ModelEntity( mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 0.06), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .stepRed, isMetallic: false)]) subject.setPosition([0, 0, 0], relativeTo: nil) let collision = CollisionComponent(shapes: [.generateSphere(radius: 0.06)]) let input = InputTargetComponent() subject.components.set([collision, input]) return subject }() var body: some View { RealityView { content in guard let scene = try? await Entity(named: "WorldTracking", in: realityKitContentBundle) else { return } content.add(scene) if let placementEntity = scene.findEntity(named: "PlacementPreview") { placement = placementEntity } } update: { content in for (_, entity) in worldAnchorEntities { if !content.entities.contains(entity) { content.add(entity) } } } .modifier(DragGestureImproved()) .gesture(tapGesture) .task { try! await setupAndRunWorldTracking() } } var tapGesture: some Gesture { TapGesture() .targetedToAnyEntity() .onEnded { value in if value.entity.name == "PlacementPreview" { // If we tapped the placement preview cube, create an anchor Task { let anchor = WorldAnchor(originFromAnchorTransform: value.entity.transformMatrix(relativeTo: nil)) try await worldTracking.addAnchor(anchor) } } else { Task { // Get the UUID we stored on the entity let uuid = UUID(uuidString: value.entity.name) ??

Goal: To render in an apple vision pro app, the solid-mechanics 3D simulation results coming form an FEA code. Starting point: I have surface vtks with deformations on each node. Each time step has a a mesh with the nodal coordinates. This is straighforward translatable to a usd MeshSequence. Unfortunately, the results cannot be simplified to a scaling o linear transformation as you would do with other game-oriented animations. Tools: Right now, I am using Xcode and reality composer pro (RCP) to build the scenes. Technical limitations: I am aware that RCP can do animations with BlendMesh and skeletons and that MeshSequence is not a problem. Progress: Coverting to the sequence of vtk meshes to a usd MeshSequence is straighforward. This animates correctly in Preview and Blender (see screenshot). I managed to convert from MeshSequence to multiple keys and BlendMesh. This also animates correctly in Blender and preview. Unfortunately, the BlendMesh of multiple blended meshes shows a zero animation time in RCP (see screenshot below) Also, see below usda file scheme for the animation. Of course I am not showing full vectors such as faceVertexCounts, faceVertexIndex, normals. Question: what is the right set up to create a BlendMesh animation that RCP will correctly import and animate, form a set of Meshes or multiple key shapes?

Hello, I've pre-ordered the Logitech Muse with hopes of developing with it, but have yet to find any documentation relating to the capabilities it will have/any APIs that will be available to take advantage of the Muse. Is anyone aware of what might become available? Thank you in advance.

I've been using the MacOS XCode Reality Composer to export interactive .reality files that can be hosted on the web and linked to, triggering QuickLook to open the interactive AR experience. That works really well. I've just downloaded XCode 15 Beta which ships with the new Reality Composer Pro and I can't see a way to export to .reality files anymore. It seems that this is only for building apps that ship as native iOS etc apps, rather than that can be viewed in QuickLook. Am I missing something, or is it no longer possible to export .reality files? Thanks.
