Devices running iOS 18 using RealityKit do not seem to receive lighting supplied via ARKit Environment Texturing (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/arworldtrackingconfiguration/2977509-environmenttexturing). Instead just a default IBL is used by RealityKit.
This happens with RealityView as well as ARView. It also happens when I explicitly opt-in to environment texturing:
let worldTrackingConfig = ARWorldTrackingConfiguration()
worldTrackingConfig.environmentTexturing = .automatic
arView.session.run(worldTrackingConfig)
Even the Xcode AR Template has this issue.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the sample app running on iOS 18 where it's broken and from iOS 17 where it works as expected. I hope this can get resolved quickly since I see it as a major regression.
Feedback ID: FB15091335
UPDATE: It works on my older iPhone XS (iOS 18 22A5282m)
Broken on iPad Pro (11-inch) (3rd generation) (iPadOS 18.0 (22A5350a))
Maybe it's related to LiDAR?
Thank you!
