Hello, we need to allow background downloading of assets from the network and into our visionOS app. For that purpose, we would like to implement Background Assets framework since the Apple web page of the framework indicates that it is supported on visionOS.

Unfortunately, Xcode 15.1 beta 3 does not allow us to add the Background Download extension. How can we use Background Assets framework in our visionOS app? Is there another way to create the background download extension?

Thanks,

Boost

Background Assets is currently unavailable for native visionOS apps. There is compatibility support for iOS apps that use Background Assets running on visionOS, but not for native apps. Please file a a request for this using Feedback Assistant, it helps us gauge developer interest.
