Thank you again for pushing the web forward in VisionOS 2, super exciting! The latest WWDC24 video touched on VR experiences for VisionOS2.0 using WebXR, however there was no mention of passthrough AR experiences. Samples such as this one are not supported: https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-samples/immersive-ar-session.html In Settings > Safari, there is a feature flag for the AR WebXR module, but enabling it did not seem to change anything. Is this the expected behavior at this time? Any developer preview(s) we could try?

The landing page for visionOS 26 mentions The Unified Coordinate Conversion API makes moving views and entities between scenes straightforward — even between views and ARKit accessory anchors. This WWDC session very briefly shows a single example of using this, but with no context. For example, they discuss a way to tell the distance between a Model3D and an entity in a RealityView. But they don't provide any details for how they are referencing the entity (bolts in the slide). The session used the BOT-anist example project that we saw in visionOS 2, but the version on in the Sample Code library has not been updated with these examples. I was able to put together a simple example where we can get the position of a window relative to the world origin. It even updates when the user recenters. struct Lab080: View { @State private var posX: Float = 0 @State private var posY: Float = 0 @State private var posZ: Float = 0 var body: some View { GeometryReader3D { geometry in VStack { Text("Unified Coordinate Conversion") .font(.largeTitle) .padding(24) VStack { Text("X: \(posX)") Text("Y: \(posY)") Text("Z: \(posZ)") } .font(.title) .padding(24) } .onGeometryChange3D(for: Point3D.self) { proxy in try! proxy .coordinateSpace3D() .convert(value: Point3D.zero, to: .worldReference) } action: { old, new in posX = Float(new.x) posY = Float(new.y) posZ = Float(new.z) } } } } This is all that I've been able to figure out so far. What other features are included in this new Unified Coordinate Conversion? Can we use this to get the position of one window relative to another? Can we use this to get the position of a view in a window relative to an entity in a RealityView, for example in a Volume or Immersive Space? What else can Unified Coordinate Conversion do? Are there documentation pages that I'm missing? I'm not sure what to search for. Are there any Sample projects that use these features? Any additional information would be very helpful.

We got very excited when we saw support for the PSVR2 on WWDC! Particularly interesting is WebXR to us, so we got the controllers to give it a try. Unfortunately they only register as gamepads in the navigator but not as XRInputDevice's We went through the experimental flags and didn't find something that is directly related. Is there a flag we missed? If not, when do you have PSVR2 support planned for WebXR?

When using the new RealityKit Manipulation Component on Entities, indirect input will never translate the entity - no matter what settings are applied. Direct manipulation works as expected for both translation and rotation. Is this intended behaviour? This is different from how indirect manipulation works on Model3D. How else can we get translation from this component? visionOS 26 Beta 2 Build from macOS 26 Beta 2 and Xcode 26 Beta 2 Attached is replicable sample code, I have tried this in other projects with the same results. var body: some View { RealityView { content in // Add the initial RealityKit content if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "MovieFilmReel", in: reelRCPBundle) { ManipulationComponent.configureEntity(immersiveContentEntity, allowedInputTypes: .all, collisionShapes: [ShapeResource.generateBox(width: 0.2, height: 0.2, depth: 0.2)]) immersiveContentEntity.position.y = 1 immersiveContentEntity.position.z = -0.5 var mc = ManipulationComponent() mc.releaseBehavior = .stay immersiveContentEntity.components.set(mc) content.add(immersiveContentEntity) } } }

In Beta 1,2, and 3, we could pick up and inspect entities, bringing them closer while moving them outside of the bounds of a volume. As of Beta 4, these entities are now clipped by the bounds of the volume. I'm not sure if this is a bug or an intended change, but I files a Feedback report (FB19005083). The release notes don't mention a change in behavior–at least not that I can find. Is this an intentional change or a bug? Here is a video that shows the issue. https://youtu.be/ajBAaSxLL2Y In the previous versions of visionOS 26, I could move these entities out of the volume and inspect them close up. Releasing would return them to the volume. Now they are clipped as soon as they reach the end of the volume. I haven't had a chance to test with windows or with the SwiftUI modifier version of manipulation.

We have been using RoomPlan in our app for 2+ years. Through a combination of in-app and manual coaching on scanning best practices, most users are able to achieve high-quality scans on a consistent basis. In recent weeks, however, we have observed an increase in reports of degraded scanning performance, even from veteran users who had not previously encountered issues. The RoomCaptureView overlay is jittery and crooked, and the resulting scan file has significant issues, even for simple, well-lit rectangular rooms. It is difficult to troubleshoot these issues given the number of variables at play, and the overall volume of reports is still relatively low, but we'd appreciate any guidance on known issues or workarounds that could help unblock our users who are being affected by this. I noticed that this post includes an acknowledgement of FB14454922 and FB15035788. Our issues seem slightly different as the scans are simply inaccurate and jittery without failing outright. I haven't found any other threads on similar issues.

Hi, We’ve been successfully using the RoomPlan API in our application for over two years. Recently, however, users have reported encountering persistent capture errors during their sessions. Specifically, the errors observed are: CaptureError.worldTrackingFailure CaptureError.exceedSceneSizeLimit What we have observed: Persistent Errors: The errors continue to occur even after initiating new capture sessions. Normal Usage: Our implementation adheres to typical usage patterns of the RoomPlan API without exceeding any documented room size limits. Limited Feature Usage: We are not utilizing the WorldTracking feature for the StructureBuilder functionality to stitch rooms together. Potential State Caching: Given that these errors persist across sessions, we suspect that there might be memory or state cached between sessions that is not being cleared, particularly since we are not taking advantage of StructureBuilder. Request: Could you please advise if there is any internal caching or memory retention between capture sessions that might lead to these errors? Additionally, we would appreciate guidance on how to clear or manage this state when the StructureBuilder feature is not in use. Here is a generalised version of our capture session initialization code to help diagnose the issue. struct RoomARCaptureView: UIViewRepresentable { typealias Handler = (CapturedRoom, Error?) -> Void @Binding var stop: Bool @Binding var done: Bool let completion: Handler? func makeUIView(context: Self.Context) -> RoomCaptureView { let view = RoomCaptureView(frame: .zero) view.delegate = context.coordinator view.captureSession.run(configuration: .init()) return view } func updateUIView(_ uiView: RoomCaptureView, context: Self.Context) { if stop { // Stop the session only once, multiple times causes issues with the final presentation uiView.captureSession.stop() stop = false done = true } } static func dismantleUIView(_ uiView: RoomCaptureView, coordinator: Self.Coordinator) { uiView.captureSession.stop() } func makeCoordinator() -> ARViewCoordinator { ARViewCoordinator(completion) } @objc(ARViewCoordinator) class ARViewCoordinator: NSObject, RoomCaptureViewDelegate { var completion: Handler? public required init?(coder: NSCoder) {} public func encode(with coder: NSCoder) {} public init(_ completion: Handler?) { super.init() self.completion = completion } public func captureView(shouldPresent roomDataForProcessing: CapturedRoomData, error: (Error)?) -> Bool { return true } public func captureView(didPresent processedResult: CapturedRoom, error: (Error)?) { completion?(processedResult, error) } } } Thank you for your assistance.

I downloaded Xcode 16 and updated my macOS to 15, but I keep getting this error when trying to build the game in simulator or in device [xrsimulator] Exception thrown: The operation couldn’t be completed. (realitytool.RKAssetsCompiler.RKAssetsCompilerError error 3.)

I am testing out the Gen 2 of the developer strap on my Vision Pro M2 and I have only been able to get USB 2 speeds when connecting it to my MacBook Pro Max M3. I used the official Apple Thunderbolt 4 cable, which does get Thunderbolt speeds on my T7 Touch drive. Has anyone figured out a solution for this issue? The Gen 2 developer strap does advertise 20 Gb/s speeds.

Hello, I've been tinkering a bit with TextComponent. Based on the docs it seems like this component should always render sharp and nice text, no matter how close the user gets: RealityKit dynamically adjusts the backing size to a value that results in high-fidelity text at its current location. And it does on visionOS, but on iOS and macOS the text gets pixelated when I get close to it, as if its just rendering it once as a plain image texture. Can anyone tell me if this is expected behavior or a bug? Here two screenshots for comparison (iPhone and Vision Pro): Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to verify something mentioned in the WWDC session “Explore enhancements to your spatial business app.” At timestamp 3:36, the presenter states: “You can now access your enterprise license files directly within your Apple Developer account.” I’ve checked every section of my Developer account, including: • Membership and Agreements • Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles • App Store Connect • Additional Resources • Account settings …but no UI or section exposes these enterprise license files. Since the Vision Entitlement Services framework actively checks these licenses (for example, mainCameraAccess entitlement approval), I need to confirm the location of the new license file. Could someone from Apple or anyone who has seen this feature clarify: 1. Where exactly do these enterprise license files appear in the Developer account UI, or 2. Whether this feature has not rolled out yet? Any guidance or screenshots from those who have access would be invaluable. Thanks,

I recently added pushWindow to my app, and I discovered that in visionOS 26.2 RC (23N301), pushWindow followed by dismissWindow no longer works as expected. Specifically, if the user moves the pushed window, then when the pushed window is later dismissed, the parent window's position isn't aligned with the pushed window's new position. Its original position is restored instead. Curiously, the bug only happens when an app is launched from the visionOS home view, and not when an app is launched from Xcode. It also doesn't happen in the visionOS 26.2 simulator. Another interesting detail is that while the parent window is hidden, if the user long-presses the Digital Crown and then dismisses the pushed window, the parent window's position seems to be immune from the Digital Crown scene reorientation. It's restored to its original real world position. Demo video: https://youtu.be/zR3t2ON3Wz0 I've submitted feedback as FB21287011 with a sample app and detailed repro steps. Has anyone else encountered this issue already and figured out a workaround? It would be nice if I could get pushWindow to work correctly in my app. Thanks everybody! 😀

Starting in visionOS 26, users can snap windows to surfaces. These windows are locked in place and are later restored by visionOS. We can access the snapped data with surfaceSnappingInfo docs. Users can also lock a free-floating (unsnapped) window from a context menu in the window controls. Is there a way to tell when a window has been locked without being snapped to a surface?

Hi everyone, I’m encountering a memory overflow issue in my visionOS app and I’d like to confirm if this is expected behavior or if I’m missing something in cleanup. App Context The app showcases apartments in real scale using AR. Apartments are heavy USDZ models (hundreds of thousands of triangles, high-resolution textures). Users can walk inside the apartments, and performance is good even close to hardware limits. Flow The app starts in a full immersive space (RealityView) for selecting the apartment. When an apartment is selected, a new ImmersiveSpace opens and the apartment scene loads. The scene includes multiple USDZ models, EnvironmentResources, and dynamic textures for skyboxes. When the user dismisses the experience, we attempt cleanup: Nulling out all entity references. Removing ModelComponents. Clearing cached textures and skyboxes. Forcing dictionaries/collections to empty. Despite this cleanup, memory usage remains very high. Problem After dismissing the ImmersiveSpace, memory does not return to baseline. Check the attached screenshot of the profiling made using Instruments: Initial state: ~30MB (main menu). After loading models sequentially: ~3.3GB. Skybox textures bring it near ~4GB. After dismissing the experience (at ~01:00 mark): memory only drops slightly (to ~2.66GB). When loading the second apartment, memory continues to increase until ~5GB, at which point the app crashes due to memory pressure. The issue is consistently visible under VM: IOSurface in Instruments. No leaks are detected. So it looks like RealityKit (or lower-level frameworks) keeps caching meshes and textures, and does not free them when RealityView is ended. But for my use case, these resources should be fully released once the ImmersiveSpace is dismissed, since new apartments will load entirely different models and textures. Cleanup Code Example Here’s a simplified version of the cleanup I’m doing: func clearAllRoomEntities() { for (entityName, entity) in entityFromMarker { entity.removeFromParent() if let modelEntity = entity as? ModelEntity { modelEntity.components.removeAll() modelEntity.children.forEach { $0.removeFromParent() } modelEntity.clearTexturesAndMaterials() } entityFromMarker[entityName] = nil removeSkyboxPortals(from: entityName) } entityFromMarker.removeAll() } extension ModelEntity { func clearTexturesAndMaterials() { guard var modelComponent = self.model else { return } for index in modelComponent.materials.indices { removeTextures(from: &modelComponent.materials[index]) } modelComponent.materials.removeAll() self.model = modelComponent self.model = nil } private func removeTextures(from material: inout any Material) { if var pbr = material as? PhysicallyBasedMaterial { pbr.baseColor.texture = nil pbr.emissiveColor.texture = nil pbr.metallic.texture = nil pbr.roughness.texture = nil pbr.normal.texture = nil pbr.ambientOcclusion.texture = nil pbr.clearcoat.texture = nil material = pbr } else if var simple = material as? SimpleMaterial { simple.color.texture = nil material = simple } } } Questions Is this expected RealityKit behavior (textures/meshes cached internally)? Is there a way to force RealityKit to release GPU resources tied to USDZ models when they’re no longer used? Should dismissing the ImmersiveSpace automatically free those IOSurfaces, or do I need to handle this differently? Any guidance, best practices, or confirmation would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

We use SceneReconstructionProvider to detect meshes in the surrounding environment and apply an OcclusionMaterial to them. // Assuming `entity` represents one of the detected mesh in the environment entity.components.set(ModelComponent( mesh: mesh, materials: [OcclusionMaterial()] )) While this correctly occludes entities placed in the immersive space, it also occludes system windows. This becomes problematic when a window is dragged into an occluded area (before or after entering the immersive space), preventing interaction with its elements. In some cases, it also makes it impossible to focus on the window’s drag handle, since this might become occluded as well after moving the window nearby. More generally, system windows can be occluded when they come into proximity with a model that has OcclusionMaterial applied. I'm aware of a change introduced in visionOS 2 regarding how occlusions interact with UI elements (as noted in the release notes). I believe this change was intended to ensure windows do not remain visible when opened in another room. However, this also introduces some challenges, as described in the scenario above. Is there a way to prevent system window occlusion while still allowing entities to be occluded by environmental features? Perhaps not using OcclusionMaterial at all? Development environment: Xcode 16.2, macOS 15.2 Run-time configuration: visionOS 2.2 and 2.3

The new Mac virtual display feature on visionOS 2 offers a curved/panoramic window. I was wondering if this is simply a property that can be applied to a window, or if it involves an immersive mode or SceneKit/RealityKit?

I'm developing a visionOS panorama viewer app where I need to implement an auto-hiding floating menu in immersive space. The menu should: Show for 3 seconds when entering immersive mode Auto-hide after 3 seconds, Reappear when user taps anywhere (using SpatialTapGesture). Buttons should respond to gaze + pinch interaction The Problem: When I add .windowStyle(.plain) to achieve transparent window background for the auto-hide effect, all buttons in the menu become completely unresponsive to gaze + pinch interaction. The buttons only respond to direct finger touch (poking). Without .windowStyle(.plain): Buttons work correctly with gaze + pinch, but I cannot achieve transparent window background for hiding. With .windowStyle(.plain): Window can be transparent, but buttons lose gaze + pinch interaction. Code: App.swift: @main struct MyApp: App { @StateObject private var model = AppModel() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup(id: "MainWindow") { ContentView() .environmentObject(model) } .defaultSize(width: 900, height: 700) .windowResizability(.contentSize) .windowStyle(.plain) // <-- This causes the interaction issue ImmersiveSpace(id: "ImmersiveSpace") { ImmersiveView() .environmentObject(model) } } } ContentView.swift (simplified): struct ContentView: View { @EnvironmentObject var model: AppModel @State private var isMenuVisible: Bool = true var body: some View { VStack { if model.isImmersiveViewActive { if isMenuVisible { // This menu's buttons don't respond to gaze+pinch immersiveControlMenu } } else { mainMenuButtons } } .glassBackgroundEffect() } private var immersiveControlMenu: some View { HStack { Button("Exit") { exitImmersiveSpace() } .buttonStyle(.bordered) // Also tried .plain, same issue } .padding() .glassBackgroundEffect() } } ImmersiveView.swift: struct ImmersiveView: View { @EnvironmentObject var model: AppModel var body: some View { RealityView { content in // Panorama sphere let sphere = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 1000), materials: [material]) content.add(sphere) // Tap detector for menu toggle let tapDetector = Entity() tapDetector.components.set(CollisionComponent(shapes: [.generateSphere(radius: 900)])) tapDetector.components.set(InputTargetComponent()) content.add(tapDetector) } .gesture( SpatialTapGesture() .targetedToAnyEntity() .onEnded { _ in model.shouldShowMenu = true } ) } } Environment: Xcode 26.2 visionOS 26.3 Vision Pro device Questions: Is .windowStyle(.plain) expected to affect button interaction behavior? What is the recommended approach to achieve a transparent/hidden window in immersive mode while maintaining button interactivity? Is there an alternative to .windowStyle(.plain) for hiding window chrome in visionOS? Thank you for any guidance!

Has Roomplan been abandoned? Two years have gone by without comments from Apple on improvements. Are the improvements behind the scenes? Is there going to be any major updates?

How can I request access to Enterprise API for VisionPro with an individual developer account? I wanted it for learning and testing

Apple's new Spatial Personas use Gaussian Splatting, but I have not found any APIs for visionOS to display a Gaussian Splat like a PLY file. Am I just missing the Apple documentation? If not, are there common practices developers are using for displaying Gaussian Splats in visionOS?
