In Xcode 16 beta 6, we want to start the app with an Alert advising the user that they are about to enter an immersive space. To achieve this, I use an empty VStack (lets name it View1) with an alert modifier. Then, in the alert’s OK button action, we have the statement openWindow(id: "ContentView”). View1 is in the first WindowGroup in the App file. When pressing OK, the Alert and View1 dismiss themselves, then ContentView displays itself shifted vertically towards the top. ContentView is in a secondary WindowGroup. We should expect ContentView to display itself front and center to the user as every other window. What is wrong my code? Or, is there a bug in visionOS? Attached are images of my code, and a video illustrating the bad behavior.

Does anyone have a fix for this or is this a bug? I just updated to Xcode 16 and simulator 2.0 yesterday and running my app previously on 1.2 took just a few seconds to load. With 2.0 it takes several minutes. Even if I launch any of the small Developer apps available in the Vision samples section they all take at least 5 minutes to run. How do I fix this? If I open in device it still launches in less than 10 seconds but that's not always convenient for me. MacBook Pro, M3, 18G, Sonoma 14.6.1

I don't get cameraFrame from cameraFrameUpdates in vision pro app, why it's no getting , where I am doing wrong in code please guide me. for await cameraFrame in cameraFrameUpdates { print("cameraFrame:: (cameraFrame)") } var body: some View { VStack { image .resizable() .scaledToFit() if(self.finalImage != nil){ self.finalImage! .resizable() .scaledToFit() }else{ image .resizable() .scaledToFit() } } .task { if #available(visionOS 2.0, *) { guard CameraFrameProvider.isSupported else { print("CameraFrameProvider not supported.") return } let formats = CameraVideoFormat.supportedVideoFormats(for: .main, cameraPositions: [CameraFrameProvider.CameraPosition.left]) let cameraFrameProvider = CameraFrameProvider() do { try await arkitSession.run([cameraFrameProvider]) } catch { guard let sessionError = error as? ARKitSession.Error else { preconditionFailure("ARKitSession.run() returned a non-session error: \(error)") print("ARKitSession.run() returned a non-session error: \(error)") } } guard let cameraFrameUpdates = cameraFrameProvider.cameraFrameUpdates(for: formats[0]) else { preconditionFailure("Failed to get an async sequence for the first format.") print("Failed to get an async sequence for the first format.") } print("cameraFrameUpdates:: \(cameraFrameUpdates)") for await cameraFrame in cameraFrameUpdates { print("cameraFrame:: \(cameraFrame)") print("Camera Frame ::: LEFT :: \(cameraFrame.sample(for: .left))") guard let leftSample = cameraFrame.sample(for: .left) else { print("CameraFrameProviderSample - Nil camera frame left sample") print("CameraFrameProviderSample - Nil camera frame left sample") continue } self.pixelBuffer = leftSample.pixelBuffer print(" ======== PIXEL BUFFER ::: \(self.pixelBuffer) ========") self.finalImage = self.setImage() } } else { // Fallback on earlier versions } } }

When I load some usdz file , it crash 100%, Why ? It crash in simulate , but not crash in Vision Pro -[MTLDebugDevice newBufferWithBytes:length:options:]:723: failed assertion `Buffer Validation newBufferWith*:length 0x100fff80 must not exceed 256 MB.

Hi! Now I am making a visionOS program. I have an idea that I want to embed spatial videos or pictures into my UI, but now I have encountered problems and have no way to implement my idea. I have tried the following work: Use AVPlayerViewController to play a spatial video, but it is only display spatial video when modalPresentationStyle =.fullscreen. Once embedded in swiftUI's view, it shows it as a normal 2D image. The method of https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/733813 I also tried, using a shadergraph to realize the function of the spatial images displaying, but the material can only be attached on the entity, I don't know how to make it show up in view. I also tried to use CAMetalLayer to implement this function and write a custom shader to display spatial images, but I couldn't find a function like unity_StereoEyeIndex in unity to render binocular switching. Does anyone have a good solution to my problem? Thank you!

I’m encountering a 1-meter size limit on the visual presentation of objects presented in an immersive environment in vision os, both in the simulator and in the device For example, if I load a USDZ object that’s 1.0x0.5x0.05 meters, all of the 1.0x0.5 meter side is visible. If I scale it by a factor of 2.0, only a 1.0x1.0 viewport onto the object is shown, even though the object size reads out as scaled when queried by usdz.visualBounds(relativeTo: nil).extents and if the USDZ is animated the animation, the animation reflects the motion of the entire object I haven’t been able to determine why this is the case, nor any way to adjust/mitigate it. Is this a wired constraint of the system or is there a workaround. Target environment is visionos 1.2

I want to see the vision pro camera view in my application window. I had write some code from apple, I stuck on CVPixelBuffer , How to convert pixelbuffer to video frame? Button("Camera Feed") { Task{ if #available(visionOS 2.0, *) { let formats = CameraVideoFormat.supportedVideoFormats(for: .main, cameraPositions:[.left]) let cameraFrameProvider = CameraFrameProvider() var arKitSession = ARKitSession() var pixelBuffer: CVPixelBuffer? await arKitSession.queryAuthorization(for: [.cameraAccess]) do { try await arKitSession.run([cameraFrameProvider]) } catch { return } guard let cameraFrameUpdates = cameraFrameProvider.cameraFrameUpdates(for: formats[0]) else { return } for await cameraFrame in cameraFrameUpdates { guard let mainCameraSample = cameraFrame.sample(for: .left) else { continue } //==== print("=========================") print(mainCameraSample.pixelBuffer) print("=========================") // self.pixelBuffer = mainCameraSample.pixelBuffer } } else { // Fallback on earlier versions } } } I want to convert "mainCameraSample.pixelBuffer" in to video. Could you please guide me!!

I have a simple example of a motion matching (MxM for Unity) character controller that uses Unity's input system and gamepad support. In editor the scene and inputs work as expected. When I build to headset the app stops at an initialization step where my game controller should kick in. The app doesn't crash but my character is frozen in A-Pose and doesn't respond to input. I'm wondering if this error I'm seeing in the logs is what's causing it? And if so how do I fix it? error 15:56:11.724200-0700 PolySpatialProjectTemplate NSBundle file:///System/Library/Frameworks/GameController.framework/ principal class is nil because all fallbacks have failed I'm using Xcode 16 beta 6 Unity 6000.0.17f1 VisionOS 2.0 beta 9

Hi, I have a RealityKit app that I am building with Xcode 16. The app has a minimum deployment target of iOS 17. If I run it on an iOS 17 device the app crashes: dyld[15716]: Symbol not found: _$s10RealityKit13ShapeResourceC14generateConvex4fromAcA04MeshD0C_tYaKFZ Referenced from: … Expected in: …/System/Library/Frameworks/RealityFoundation.framework/RealityFoundation My code looks something like this: @available(iOS, introduced: 13.0, obsoleted: 18.0) @MainActor @preconcurrency func generateNonAsyncConvexShapeResource(from meshResource: MeshResource) throws -> ShapeResource { ShapeResource.generateConvex(from: meshResource) } @available(iOS 18.0, *) func generateConvexShapeAsync(from meshResource: MeshResource) async throws -> ShapeResource { // This will only be available for iOS 18 and above return try await ShapeResource.generateConvex(from: meshResource) } if let meshResource = try? modelEntity.model?.mesh.applying(transform: transform.matrix) { if #available(visionOS 1.0, iOS 18.0, *) { try? await generateConvexShapeAsync(from: meshResource)// await shapeResources.append(.generateConvex(from: meshResource)) } else { try? generateNonAsyncConvexShapeResource(from: meshResource) } } So I actually do check for the system and only call the async variant on iOS 18. Any hints how to fix that? Thanks!

In visionOS 2 beta, I have a character loaded from a Reality Composer Pro scene standing on the floor, but he isn't casting a shadow on the floor. I added a GroundingShadowComponent in RealityView, and he does cast shadows on himself (e.g., his hands cast shadows on his shoes), but I don't see any shadow on the floor. Do I need to enable something to have my character cast a show on the real-world floor?

I started a visionOS app using Apple's new "App Environment" template, and when I looked at the UV mapping for the half SkyDome, the bottom edge had a UV 'Y' value of 0.318. Naively, I had assumed the bottom edge of a half dome would have a UV 'Y' value of 0.5 (half way up the texture map). Is this the standard UV mapping for half a SkyDome? It has caused some issues when I've applied some HDRIs.

I am working on a small side project for the Apple Vision pro. One thing I'm trying to figure out is can I open another app while having the immersive space open from my original app? As an example I want to present a fully immersed view displaying a 360 degree photo. I then want to allow the user to open up safari or any other app of their choice and use the immersive environment as a background? Is this possible? Everything I've read so far seems to say no but I wasn't sure if someone found out how to make this possible.

I have searched everywhere for examples to replicate this awesome feature. Specifically I am talking about the tab overview in safari. How they achieve the tilt/angle of the windows/views towards the user and how they are placed. Is this a volumetric window? some sort of spatial lazy grid? anyone knows how they achieved this? Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm currently developing an app for Vision Pro using SwiftUI, and I've encountered an issue when testing on the Vision Pro device. The app works perfectly fine on the Vision Pro simulator in Xcode, but when I run it on the actual device, it gets stuck on the loading screen. The logo appears and pulsates when it loads, as expected, but it never progresses beyond that point. Issue Details: The app doesn't crash, and I don't see any major errors in the console. However, in the debug logs, I encounter an exception: Thread 1: "*** -[NSProxy doesNotRecognizeSelector:plane] called!" I’ve searched through my project, but there’s no direct reference to a selector named plane. I suspect it may be related to a framework or system call failing on the device. There’s also this warning: NSBundle file:///System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MetalTools.framework/ principal class is nil because all fallbacks have failed. What I’ve Tried: Verified that all assets and resources are properly bundled and loading (since simulators tend to be more forgiving with file paths). Tested the app with minimal UI to isolate potential causes, but the issue persists. Checked the app's Info.plist configuration to ensure it’s properly set up for Vision Pro. No crashes, just a loading screen hang on the device, while the app works fine in the Vision Pro simulator. Additional Info: The app’s UI consists of a loading animation (pulsating logo) before transitioning to the main content. Using Xcode 16.1 Beta, VisionOS SDK. The app is based on SwiftUI, with Vision Pro optimizations for immersive experience. Has anyone experienced something similar when moving from the simulator to the Vision Pro hardware? Any help or guidance would be appreciated, especially with regards to the exception or potential resource loading issues specific to the device. Thanks in advance!

Using OcclusionMaterial on macOS and iOS works fine in Non-AR mode when I set the background to just a simple color (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/arview/environment-swift.struct/color) but when I set a custom skybox (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/arview/environment-swift.struct/background-swift.struct/skybox(_:)) the OcclusionMaterial renders as fully black. I would expect it to properly occlude the content and show through the skybox behind it. This happens with box ARView and RealityView. On current iOS/macOS Betas as well as on older systems, e.g iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma. Feedback ID: FB15081053

Background: This is a simple visionOS empty application. After the app launches, the user can enter an ImmersiveSpace by clicking a button. Another button loads a 33.9 MB USDZ model, and a final button exits the ImmersiveSpace. Below is the memory usage scenario for this application: After the app initializes, the memory usage is 56.8 MB. After entering the empty ImmersiveSpace, the memory usage increases to 64.1 MB. After loading a 33.9 MB USDZ model, the memory usage reaches 92.2 MB. After exiting the ImmersiveSpace, the memory usage slightly decreases to 90.4 MB. Question: While using a memory analysis tool, I noticed that the model's resources are not released after exiting the ImmersiveSpace. How should I address this issue? struct EmptDemoApp: App { @State private var appModel = AppModel() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environment(appModel) } ImmersiveSpace(id: appModel.immersiveSpaceID) { ImmersiveView() .environment(appModel) .onAppear { appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .open } .onDisappear { appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .closed } } .immersionStyle(selection: .constant(.mixed), in: .mixed) } } struct ContentView: View { @Environment(AppModel.self) private var appVM var body: some View { HStack { VStack { ToggleImmersiveSpaceButton() } if appVM.immersiveSpaceState == .open { Button { Task { if let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "Robot", withExtension: "usdz") { if let model = try? await ModelEntity(contentsOf: url, withName: "Robot") { model.setPosition(.init(x: .random(in: 0...1.0), y: .random(in: 1.0...1.6), z: -1), relativeTo: nil) appVM.root?.add(model) print("Robot: \(Unmanaged.passUnretained(model).toOpaque())") } } } } label: { Text("Add A Robot") } } } .padding() } } struct ImmersiveView: View { @Environment(AppModel.self) private var appVM var body: some View { RealityView { content in appVM.root = content } } } struct ToggleImmersiveSpaceButton: View { @Environment(AppModel.self) private var appModel @Environment(\.dismissImmersiveSpace) private var dismissImmersiveSpace @Environment(\.openImmersiveSpace) private var openImmersiveSpace var body: some View { Button { Task { @MainActor in switch appModel.immersiveSpaceState { case .open: appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .inTransition appModel.root = nil await dismissImmersiveSpace() case .closed: appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .inTransition switch await openImmersiveSpace(id: appModel.immersiveSpaceID) { case .opened: break case .userCancelled, .error: fallthrough @unknown default: appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .closed } case .inTransition: break } } } label: { Text(appModel.immersiveSpaceState == .open ? "Hide Immersive Space" : "Show Immersive Space") } .disabled(appModel.immersiveSpaceState == .inTransition) .animation(.none, value: 0) .fontWeight(.semibold) } }

The RoomPlan API makes it possible to serialize and de-serialize CapturedRoom objects. This opens up the possibility to modify a CapturedRoom (e.g. deleting surfaces/objects) in a de-serialized state and serialize it as a new CapturedRoom. All modified attributes are loaded accordingly, so far so good. My problem starts with the StructureBuilder and it's merge function capturedStructure(). This function ignores any modifications to attributes of a CapturedRoom. The only data that is considered is encoded in the CoreModel attribute (which is not mentioned in the official documentation). If someone has more information or a working solution about how to modify CapturedRooms please let me know. Additionally if there is somewhere a documentation about the CoreModel-attribute please post a link here.

I have a quiet big USDZ file which have my 3d model that I run on Realityview Swift Project and it takes sometime before I can see the model on the screen, So I was wondering if there is a way to know how much time left for the RealityKit/RealityView Model to be loaded or a percentage that I can add on a progress bar to show for the user how much time left before he can see the full model on screen. and if there is a way how to do this on progress bar while loading. Something like that

I have read the Converting side-by-side 3D video to multi-view HEVC and spatial video, now I want to convert back to side-by-side 3D video. On iPhone 15 Pro MAX, the converting time is about 1:1 as the original video length. I do almost the same as the article mentioned above, the only difference is I get the frames from Spatial video, merging into Side-by-side. Currently my code merging the frame wrote as below. Is any suggestion to speed up the process? Or in the official article, is there anything that we can do to speed up the conversion? // Merge frame let leftCI = resizeCVPixelBufferFill(bufferLeft, targetSize: targetSize) let rightCI = resizeCVPixelBufferFill(bufferRight, targetSize: targetSize) let lbuffer = convertCIImageToCVPixelBuffer(leftCI!)! let rbuffer = convertCIImageToCVPixelBuffer(rightCI!)! pixelBuffer = mergeFrames(lbuffer, rbuffer)

Hello! I'm trying to play an animation with a toggle button. When the button is toggled the animation either plays forward from the first frame (.speed = 1) OR plays backward from the last frame (.speed = -1), so if the button is toggled when the animation is only halfway through, it 'jumps' to the first or last frame. The animation is 120 frames, and I want the position in playback to be preserved when the button is toggled - so the animation reverses or continues forward from whatever frame the animation was currently on. Any tips on implementation? Thanks! import RealityKit import RealityKitContent struct ModelView: View { var isPlaying: Bool @State private var scene: Entity? = nil @State private var unboxAnimationResource: AnimationResource? = nil var body: some View { RealityView { content in // Specify the name of the Entity you want scene = try? await Entity(named: "TestAsset", in: realityKitContentBundle) scene!.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: true) scene!.components.set(InputTargetComponent()) content.add(scene!) } .installGestures() .onChange(of: isPlaying) { if (isPlaying){ var playerDefinition = scene!.availableAnimations[0].definition playerDefinition.speed = 1 playerDefinition.repeatMode = .none playerDefinition.trimDuration = 0 let playerAnimation = try! AnimationResource.generate(with: playerDefinition) scene!.playAnimation(playerAnimation) } else { var playerDefinition = scene!.availableAnimations[0].definition playerDefinition.speed = -1 playerDefinition.repeatMode = .none playerDefinition.trimDuration = 0 let playerAnimation = try! AnimationResource.generate(with: playerDefinition) scene!.playAnimation(playerAnimation) } } } } Thanks!
