Hello, For GuessTogether source code, it seems like the code assumes that you're already in a FaceTime call before pressing the custom SharePlay button (labeled "Play Guess Together"). If not already on a FaceTime call, my Apple Vision Pro and the visionOS simulator both do nothing after throwing warnings. Is this intended behavior? If so, how do I make it so that pressing the button can also initiate FaceTime calls? Is this allowed? Thank you!

How do I configure a Unity project for a fully immersive VR app on Apple Vision Pro using Metal Rendering, and add a simple pinch-to-teleport-where-looking feature? I've tried the available samples and docs, but they don't cover this clearly (to me). So far, I've reviewed Unity XR docs, Apple dev guides, and tutorials, but most emphasize spatial apps. Metal examples exist but don't include teleportation. Specifically: visionOS sample "XRI_SimpleRig" – Deploys to device/simulator, but no full immersion or teleport. XRI Toolkit sample "XR Origin Hands (XR Rig)" – Pinch gestures detect, but not linked to movement. visionOS "XR Plugin" sample "Metal Sample URP" – Metal setup works, but static scene without locomotion. I'm new in Unity XR development and would appreciate a simple, standalone scene or document focused only on the essentials for "teleport to gaze on pinch" in VR mode—no extra features. I do have some experience in unreal, world toolkit, cosmo, etc from the 90's and I'm ok with code. Please include steps for: Setting up immersive VR (disabling spatial defaults if needed). Integrating pinch detection with ray-based teleport. Any config changes or basic scripts.

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!

I have this problem on VisionOS. When I dismiss and reopen a window from a ImagePresentationComponent, the window misses the resize ui elements when I look at the window corners. The rest of the window ui elements (drag, close...) are there. Resizing was possible before the window was dismissed. The code is something like this: WindowGroup(id: "image-display-window",..... } .windowResizability(.automatic) .windowStyle(.plain) I call dismissWindow() from the window view and it is dismissed correctly. Then I call openWindow(id: "image-display-window", value: data) from another view to reopen it. It reopens but it missing the possibility to resize. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

I’m working on a Vision Pro app using Metal and need to implement multi-pass rendering. Specifically, I want to render intermediate results to a texture, then use that texture in a second pass for post-processing before presenting the final output. What’s the best approach in visionOS? Should I use multiple render passes in a single command buffer or separate command buffers? Any insights on efficiently handling this in RealityKit or Metal? Thanks!

Seeing this magical sand table, the unfolding and folding effects are similar to spreading out cards, which is very interesting. But I don't know how to achieve it. I want to see if there are any ways to achieve this effect and give some ideas. May I ask if this effect can be achieved under the existing API

My application calculates three distinct Meesus Double [x, y, z] Radian values to light a sphere in RealityKit with DirectionalLight. It is my understanding that I must use (simd_quatf) for each radian value to properly light the sphere in the view. The code correctly [orientates] the sphere with the combined (simd_quatf) DirectionalLight in the view, but the illumination (Z-axis) fails to properly illuminate the sphere with the expected result, compared to associated Meesus web page images. For the moment, I do not know how to correct the (Z-axis).

After updating to the latest visionOS beta, visionOS 26 Beta 4 (23M5300g) the ‘Presenting images in RealityKit’ sample from the following link no longer builds due to an error. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/RealityKit/presenting-images-in-realitykit Expected / Previous: Application builds and runs on device, working as described in the documentation. Reality: Application builds, but does not run on device due to an error (shown in screenshot) “Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0xb)”. The application still runs on the simulator, but not on device. When launching the app from Xcode, it builds and installs correctly but hangs due to the respective error. When loading the app from the Home Screen, the app does not load, and immediately returns to the Home Screen. This Xcode project previously ran with no changes to code - the only change was updating the visionOS system software to the latest version. visionOS 26 Beta 4 (23M5300g) Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

When rendering an equirectangular video on a sphere using VideoMaterial and MeshResource.generateSphere(), there is a visible black seam line running vertically on the sphere. This appears to be at the UV seam where the texture coordinates wrap from 1.0 back to 0.0. The same video file plays without any visible seam in other 360° video players on Vision Pro, so the issue is not with the video content itself. Here is the relevant code: private func createVideoSphere(content: RealityViewContent, player: AVPlayer) { let sphere = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 1000) let material = VideoMaterial(avPlayer: player) let entity = ModelEntity(mesh: sphere, materials: [material]) entity.scale *= .init(x: -1, y: 1, z: 1) // Flip to render on inside content.add(entity) player.play() } The setup is straightforward: MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 1000) generates the sphere mesh VideoMaterial(avPlayer:) provides the video texture X scale is flipped to -1 so the texture renders on the inside of the sphere The video is a standard equirectangular 360° MP4 file What I've tried: I attempted to create a custom sphere mesh using MeshDescriptor with duplicate vertices at the UV seam (longitude 0°/360°) to ensure proper UV continuity. However, VideoMaterial did not render any video on the custom mesh (only audio played), and the app eventually crashed. It seems VideoMaterial may have specific mesh requirements. Questions: Is the black seam a known limitation of MeshResource.generateSphere() when used with VideoMaterial for 360° video? Is there a recommended way to eliminate this UV seam — for example, a texture addressing mode or a specific mesh configuration that works with VideoMaterial? Is there an official sample project or code example for playing 360° equirectangular video in a fully immersive space on visionOS? That would be extremely helpful as a reference. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am a developer working on developing a space journal application. During the development process, I encountered several crucial strategic and technical decisions, and I would like to hear the experiences of those who have gone through similar situations. Here are the simplified versions of several questions I have. Resource allocation: Which problem should I address first? Design direction: In terms of interaction and UI design, how should I balance "immersion" and "usability"? Market selection: Was it easier for a business to survive in the early stages as a B2B or B2C entity? Cost estimation: How can I reasonably present to my investors the development costs of this project? In order to avoid relying solely on intuition in my decisions, I created a short questionnaire, hoping to gather more structured opinions from my colleagues. If you are also exploring VisionOS, I sincerely hope you can take a few minutes to fill it out. The results are extremely important to me, and I would be more than happy to share the final summary findings with you.

Hi , I'm struggling with visionOS window management and need help with closing child windows programmatically. App Structure My app has a Main-Sub window hierarchy: AWindow (Home/Main) BWindow (Main feature window) CWindow (Tool window - child of BWindow) Navigation flow: AWindow → BWindow (switch, 1 window on screen) BWindow → CWindow (opens child, 2 windows on screen) I want BWindow and CWindow to be separate movable windows (not sheet/popover) so users can position them independently in space. The Problem CWindow doesn't close when BWindow closes by tapping the X button below the app (next to the window bar) User clicks X on BWindow → BWindow closes but CWindow remains CWindow becomes orphaned on screen Can close CWindow programmatically when switching BWindow back to AWindow App launch issue After closing both windows, CWindow is remembered as last window Reopening app shows only CWindow instead of BWindow User gets stuck in CWindow with no way back to BWindow I've Tried Environment dismissWindow in cleanup but its not working. // In BWindow.swift .onDisappear { if windowManager.isWindowOpen("cWindow") { dismissWindow(id: "cWindow") } } My App Structure Code Now // in MyNameApp.swift @main struct MyNameApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup(id: "aWindow") { AWindow() } WindowGroup(id: "bWindow") { BWindow() } WindowGroup(id: "cWindow") { CWindow() } } } // WindowStateManager.swift class WindowStateManager: ObservableObject { static let shared = WindowStateManager() @Published private var openWindows: Set<String> = [] @Published private var windowDependencies: [String: String] = [:] private init() {} func markWindowAsOpen(_ id: String) { markWindowAsOpen(id, parent: nil) } func markWindowAsClosed(_ id: String) { openWindows.remove(id) windowDependencies[id] = nil } func isWindowOpen(_ id: String) -> Bool { let isOpen = openWindows.contains(id) return isOpen } func markWindowAsOpen(_ id: String, parent: String? = nil) { openWindows.insert(id) if let parentId = parent { windowDependencies[id] = parentId } } func getParentWindow(of childId: String) -> String? { let parent = windowDependencies[childId] return parent } func getChildWindows(of parentId: String) -> [String] { let children = windowDependencies.compactMap { key, value in value == parentId ? key : nil } return children } func setNextWindowParent(_ parentId: String) { UserDefaults.standard.set(parentId, forKey: "nextWindowParent") } func getAndClearNextWindowParent() -> String? { let parent = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "nextWindowParent") UserDefaults.standard.removeObject(forKey: "nextWindowParent") return parent } func forceCloseChildWindows(of parentId: String) { let children = getChildWindows(of: parentId) for child in children { markWindowAsClosed(child) NotificationCenter.default.post( name: Notification.Name("ForceCloseWindow"), object: nil, userInfo: ["windowId": child] ) forceCloseChildWindows(of: child) } } func hasMainWindowOpen() -> Bool { let mainWindows = ["main", "bWindow"] return mainWindows.contains { isWindowOpen($0) } } func cleanupOrphanWindows() { for (child, parent) in windowDependencies { if isWindowOpen(child) && !isWindowOpen(parent) { NotificationCenter.default.post( name: Notification.Name("ForceCloseWindow"), object: nil, userInfo: ["windowId": child] ) markWindowAsClosed(child) } } } } // BWindow.swift struct BWindow: View { @Environment(\.dismissWindow) private var dismissWindow @ObservedObject private var windowManager = WindowStateManager.shared var body: some View { VStack { Button("Open C Window") { windowManager.setNextWindowParent("bWindow") openWindow(id: "cWindow") } } .onAppear { windowManager.markWindowAsOpen("bWindow") } .onDisappear { windowManager.markWindowAsClosed("bWindow") windowManager.forceCloseChildWindows(of: "bWindow") } .onChange(of: scenePhase) { oldValue, newValue in if newValue == .background || newValue == .inactive { windowManager.forceCloseChildWindows(of: "bWindow") } } } } // CWindow.swift import SwiftUI struct cWindow: View { @ObservedObject private var windowManager = WindowStateManager.shared @State private var shouldClose = false var body: some View { // Content } .onDisappear { windowManager.markWindowAsClosed("cWindow") NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver( self, name: Notification.Name("ForceCloseWindow"), object: nil ) } .onChange(of: scenePhase) { oldValue, newValue in if newValue == .background { } } .onAppear { let parent = windowManager.getAndClearNextWindowParent() windowManager.markWindowAsOpen("cWindow", parent: parent) NotificationCenter.default.addObserver( forName: Notification.Name("ForceCloseWindow"), object: nil, queue: .main) { notification in if let windowId = notification.userInfo?["windowId"] as? String, windowId == "cWindow" { shouldClose = true } } } .onChange(of: shouldClose) { _, newValue in if newValue { dismissWindow() } } } The logs show everything executes correctly, but CWindow remains visible on screen. Questions Why doesn't dismissWindow(id:) work in cleanup scenarios? Is there a proper way to create a window relationships like parent-child relationships in visionOS? How can I ensure main windows open on app launch instead of tool windows? What's the recommended pattern for dependent windows in visionOS? Environment: Xcode 16.2, visionOS 2.0, SwiftUI

Hi everyone, I'm creating an educational App that allows doing computational design in an immersive environment with the Vision Pro. The App is free and can be found here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arcade-topology/id6742103633 The problem I have is that the mesh of voxels I currently create use ModelEntity and I recently read that this is horrible for scalability. I already start to see issues when I try to use thousands of voxels. I also read somewhere that I should then take advantage of GPUs and use metal to that end. I was wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial or article that discusses this. In essence, I need to create a 3D voxel mesh, and those voxels have to update their opacity within an iterative loop. Thanks! —Alejandro

I have an entity that was created using Mixamo, and it has an animation. after the animation completes the mesh of the robot is not where the entity is positioned. I want to do something like when the animation finishes, I set the root entity's transform to the mesh's transform. There are no transformations applied to any of the children of this root of the model, which means that the transformations are applied to the skeleton due the the playing of animations. Is there a way where I can apply the final position of the root of the skeleton to the root entity to make sure to position the entity where the animation has ended just before the next animation plays?

The initial startup of visionOS 26 after install is glacially slow.

Hi, Is there a resource or sample code about how to draw an outline around a mesh in RealityKit? Typically, this is useful for visualizing a selection, like in Reality Composer Pro. How to achieve such effect? A shader material? A post-process effect in ARView or RealityRenderer? Methods such as duplicating the entity mesh, scaling it, and using material.faceCulling = .front did not look good in my experiments. Thank you.

Can we constrain or clamp translation with the new ManipulationComponent? For example, allow free movement within certain bounds.

VideoMaterial Black Screen on Vision Pro Device (Works in Simulator) App Overview App Name: Extn Browser Bundle ID: ai.extn.browser Purpose: A visionOS web browser that plays 360°/180° VR videos in an immersive sphere environment Development Environment & SDK Versions Component Version Xcode 26.2 Swift 6.2 visionOS Deployment Target 26.2 Swift Concurrency MainActor isolation enabled App is released in the TestFlight. Frameworks Used SwiftUI - UI framework RealityKit - 3D rendering, MeshResource, ModelEntity, VideoMaterial AVFoundation - AVPlayer, AVAudioSession WebKit - WKWebView for browser functionality Network - NWListener for local proxy server Sphere Video Mechanism The app creates an immersive 360° video experience using the following approach: // 1. Create sphere mesh (10 meter radius for immersive viewing) let mesh = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 10.0) // 2. Create initial transparent material var material = UnlitMaterial() material.color = .init(tint: .clear) // 3. Create entity and invert sphere (negative X scale) let sphere = ModelEntity(mesh: mesh, materials: [material]) sphere.scale = SIMD3<Float>(-1, 1, 1) // Inverts normals for inside-out viewing sphere.position = SIMD3<Float>(0, 1.5, 0) // Eye level // 4. Create AVPlayer with video URL let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL) // 5. Configure audio session for visionOS let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() try audioSession.setCategory(.playback, mode: .moviePlayback, options: [.mixWithOthers]) try audioSession.setActive(true) // 6. Create VideoMaterial and apply to sphere let videoMaterial = VideoMaterial(avPlayer: player) if var modelComponent = sphere.components[ModelComponent.self] { modelComponent.materials = [videoMaterial] sphere.components.set(modelComponent) } // 7. Start playback player.play() ImmersiveSpace Configuration // browserApp.swift ImmersiveSpace(id: appModel.immersiveSpaceID) { ImmersiveView() .environment(appModel) } .immersionStyle(selection: .constant(.mixed), in: .mixed) Entitlements <!-- browser.entitlements --> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.server</key> <true/> Info.plist Network Configuration <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key> <dict> <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key> <true/> </dict> The Issue Behavior in Simulator: Video plays correctly on the inverted sphere surface - 360° video is visible and wraps around the user as expected. Behavior on Physical Vision Pro: The sphere displays a black screen. No video content is visible, though the sphere entity itself is present. Important: Not a DRM/Licensing Issue This issue is NOT related to Digital Rights Management (DRM) or FairPlay. I have tested with: Unlicensed raw MP4 video files (no DRM protection) Self-hosted video content with no copy protection Direct MP4 URLs from CDN without any licensing requirements The same black screen behavior occurs with all unprotected video sources, ruling out DRM as the cause. (Plain H.264 MP4, no DRM) Screen Recording: Working in Simulator The following screen recording demonstrates playing a 360° YouTube video in the immersive sphere on the visionOS Simulator: https://cdn.commenda.kr/screen-001.mov This confirms that the VideoMaterial and sphere rendering work correctly in the simulator, but the same setup shows a black screen on the physical Vision Pro device. Observations AVPlayer status reports .readyToPlay - The video appears to load successfully VideoMaterial is created without errors - No exceptions thrown Sphere entity renders - The geometry is visible (black surface) Audio session is configured - No errors during audio session setup Network requests succeed - The video URL is accessible from the device Same result with local/unprotected content - DRM is not a factor Console Logs (Device) The logging shows: Sphere created and added to scene AVPlayer created with correct URL VideoMaterial created and applied Player status transitions to .readyToPlay player.play() called successfully Rate shows 1.0 (playing) Despite all success indicators, the rendered output is black. Questions for Apple Are there known differences in VideoMaterial behavior between the visionOS Simulator and physical Vision Pro hardware? Does VideoMaterial(avPlayer:) require specific video codec/format requirements that differ on device? (The test video is a standard H.264 MP4) Is there a required Metal capability or GPU feature for VideoMaterial that may not be available in certain contexts on device? Does the immersion style (.mixed) affect VideoMaterial rendering on hardware? Are there additional entitlements required for video texture rendering in RealityKit on physical hardware? Attempted Solutions Configured AVAudioSession with .playback category Added delay before player.play() to ensure material is applied Verified sphere scale inversion (-1, 1, 1) Tested multiple video URLs (including raw, unlicensed MP4 files) Confirmed network connectivity on device Ruled out DRM/FairPlay issues by testing unprotected content Environment Details Device: Apple Vision Pro visionOS Version: 26.2 Xcode Version: 26.2 macOS Version: Darwin 25.2.0

Hi, I wanted to ask if you are familiar with a way of making the Logitech Muse sterile for operation room use?

Hello, There are three issues I am running into with a default template project + additional minimal code changes: the Sphere_Left entity always overlaps the Sphere_Right entity. when I release the Sphere_Left entity, it does not remain sticking to the Sphere_Right entity when I release the Sphere_Left entity, it distances itself from the Sphere_Right entity When I manipulate the Sphere_Right entity, these above 3 issues do not occur: I get a correct and expected behavior. These issues are simple to replicate: Create a new project in XCode Choose visionOS -> App, then click Next Name your project, and leave all other options as defaults: Initial Scene: Window, Immersive Space Renderer: RealityKit, Immersive Space: Mixed, then click Next Save you project anywhere... Replace the entire ImmersiveView.swift file with the below code. Run. Try to manipulate the left sphere, you should get the same issues I mentioned above If you restart the project, and manipulate only the right sphere, you should get the correct expected behaviors, and no issues. I am running this in macOS 26, XCode 26, on visionOS 26, all released lately. ImmersiveView Code: // // ImmersiveView.swift // import OSLog import SwiftUI import RealityKit import RealityKitContent struct ImmersiveView: View { private let logger = Logger(subsystem: "com.testentitiessticktogether", category: "ImmersiveView") @State var collisionBeganUnfiltered: EventSubscription? var body: some View { RealityView { content in // Add the initial RealityKit content if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "Immersive", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(immersiveContentEntity) // Add manipulation components setupManipulationComponents(in: immersiveContentEntity) collisionBeganUnfiltered = content.subscribe(to: CollisionEvents.Began.self) { collisionEvent in Task { @MainActor in handleCollision(entityA: collisionEvent.entityA, entityB: collisionEvent.entityB) } } } } } private func setupManipulationComponents(in rootEntity: Entity) { logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) ") let sphereNames = ["Sphere_Left", "Sphere_Right"] for name in sphereNames { guard let sphere = rootEntity.findEntity(named: name) else { logger.error("\(#function) \(#line) Failed to find \(name) entity") assertionFailure("Failed to find \(name) entity") continue } ManipulationComponent.configureEntity(sphere) var manipulationComponent = ManipulationComponent() manipulationComponent.releaseBehavior = .stay sphere.components.set(manipulationComponent) } logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) Successfully set up manipulation components") } private func handleCollision(entityA: Entity, entityB: Entity) { logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) Collision between \(entityA.name) and \(entityB.name)") guard entityA !== entityB else { return } if entityB.isAncestor(of: entityA) { logger.debug("\(#function) \(#line) \(entityA.name) already under \(entityB.name); skipping reparent") return } if entityA.isAncestor(of: entityB) { logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) Skip reparent: \(entityA.name) is an ancestor of \(entityB.name)") return } reparentEntities(child: entityA, parent: entityB) entityA.components[ParticleEmitterComponent.self]?.burst() } private func reparentEntities(child: Entity, parent: Entity) { let childBounds = child.visualBounds(relativeTo: nil) let parentBounds = parent.visualBounds(relativeTo: nil) let maxEntityWidth = max(childBounds.extents.x, parentBounds.extents.x) let childPosition = child.position(relativeTo: nil) let parentPosition = parent.position(relativeTo: nil) let currentDistance = distance(childPosition, parentPosition) child.setParent(parent, preservingWorldTransform: true) logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) Set \(child.name) parent to \(parent.name)") child.components.remove(ManipulationComponent.self) logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) Removed ManipulationComponent from child \(child.name)") if currentDistance > maxEntityWidth { let direction = normalize(childPosition - parentPosition) let newPosition = parentPosition + direction * maxEntityWidth child.setPosition(newPosition - parentPosition, relativeTo: parent) logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) Adjusted position: distance was \(currentDistance), now \(maxEntityWidth)") } } } fileprivate extension Entity { func isAncestor(of other: Entity) -> Bool { var current: Entity? = other.parent while let node = current { if node === self { return true } current = node.parent } return false } } #Preview(immersionStyle: .mixed) { ImmersiveView() .environment(AppModel()) }
