I'm getting the following error in my swift build targeting VisionOS 2.0 :
" 'defaultDisplay' is unavailable in visionOS "
TLDR : how do I specify an initial window position in visionOS? The docs seem to be off? - see below.
The docs say it is available, but it is not, or at least my XCODE (Version 16.0 ) is throwing errors on it : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/scene/defaultwindowplacement(_:)
I know apple is opinionated about window placement in visionOS, and maybe it will never be available, but the docs say it is in visionOS 2.0+ and it sure would be nice to be able to specify a default position toward the bottom of one's FOV, etc .
Side-note -- the example code in that doc also has the issue that "Window" is not available in visionOS ( WindowGroup is ).
example code -- barely modified from example code in doc :
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup("MyLilWindow", id: "MyLilWindow") {
TestView()
}
.windowResizability(.contentSize)
.defaultWindowPlacement { content, context in
let displayBounds = context.defaultDisplay.visibleRect
let size = content.sizeThatFits(.unspecified)
let position = CGPoint(
x: displayBounds.midX - (size.width / 2),
y: displayBounds.maxY - size.height - 140)
return WindowPlacement(position)
}
}
Hi @beechbot ,
The code snippet you referenced is for macOS. For visionOS, try something like:
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup("content", id: "content") {
ContentView()
}
WindowGroup("Status", id: "status") {
StatusView()
}
.windowResizability(.contentSize)
.defaultWindowPlacement { content, context in
return WindowPlacement(.above(context.windows.first(where: { $0.id == "content" })!))
}
where ContentView looks like this:
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.openWindow) var openWindow
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("open window") {
openWindow(id: "status")
}
}
.padding()
}
}
You can use above, below, leading, or trailing, as well as utilityPanel.
