Hey everyone, I'm working on an object viewer where users can place objects in a real room using AR, and I want both visionOS (Apple Vision Pro) and iOS devices (iPad, iPhone) to participate in the same shared spatial experience. The idea is that a user with a Vision Pro can place an object, and peers using iPhones/iPads can see the same object in the same position in their AR view. I've looked into ARKit's Shared ARWorldMap and MultipeerConnectivity, but I'm not sure if this extends seamlessly to visionOS or if Apple has an official way to sync spatial data between visionOS and iOS devices. Has anyone tried sharing a spatial world between visionOS and iOS? Are there any built-in frameworks that allow for a shared multiuser AR session across these devices? If not, what would be the best way to sync object positions between them? Would love to hear if anyone has insights or experience with this! 🚀 Thanks!

I'm having a heck of a time getting this to work. I'm trying to add an event notification at the end of a timeline animation to trigger something in code but I'm not receiving the notification from RC Pro. I've watched that Compose Interactive 3D Content video quite a few times now and have tried many different ways. RC Pro has the correct ID names on the notifications. I'm not a programmer at all. Just a lowly 3D artist. Here is my code... import SwiftUI import RealityKit import RealityKitContent extension Notification.Name { static let button1Pressed = Notification.Name("button1pressed") static let button2Pressed = Notification.Name("button2pressed") static let button3Pressed = Notification.Name("button3pressed") } struct MainButtons: View { @State private var transitionToNextSceneForButton1 = false @State private var transitionToNextSceneForButton2 = false @State private var transitionToNextSceneForButton3 = false @Environment(AppModel.self) var appModel @Environment(\.dismissWindow) var dismissWindow // Notification publishers for each button private let button1PressedReceived = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .button1Pressed) private let button2PressedReceived = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .button2Pressed) private let button3PressedReceived = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .button3Pressed) var body: some View { ZStack { RealityView { content in // Load your RC Pro scene that contains the 3D buttons. if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "MainButtons", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(immersiveContentEntity) } } // Optionally attach a gesture if you want to debug a generic tap: .gesture( TapGesture().targetedToAnyEntity().onEnded { value in print("3D Object tapped") _ = value.entity.applyTapForBehaviors() // Do not post a test notification here—rely on RC Pro timeline events. } ) } .onAppear { dismissWindow(id: "main") // Remove any test notification posting code. } // Listen for distinct button notifications. .onReceive(button1PressedReceived) { (output) in print("Button 1 pressed notification received") transitionToNextSceneForButton1 = true } .onReceive(button2PressedReceived.receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)) { _ in print("Button 2 pressed notification received") transitionToNextSceneForButton2 = true } .onReceive(button3PressedReceived.receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)) { _ in print("Button 3 pressed notification received") transitionToNextSceneForButton3 = true } // Present next scenes for each button as needed. For example, for button 1: .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $transitionToNextSceneForButton1) { FacilityTour() .environment(appModel) } // You can add additional fullScreenCover modifiers for button 2 and 3 transitions. } }

I want to make a model with added bones move by dragging it with gestures，This is a model exported using Blender， What I understand is using IKComponent, but I don't know how to use it specifically

I see no way to scale an entity with a hover effect. The closest I can find is by using HoverEffectComponent with a shader hover effect. Maybe I can change the scale with a ShaderGraph, but I cannot figure out how.

In Reality Composer Pro 2.0 (448.120.2), if I use the "Create new scene in the project" button more than once, this feature doesn't seem to work. The second time I use "Create new scene in the project", Reality Composer Pro displays a new empty USDA file in the project browser with the wrong icon (a yellow document icon instead of a 3D box icon). Also, it doesn't create the new scene's USDA file on disk or display the scene in entity hierarchy browser or create a new tab. Consequently, whenever I want to add more than one new scene to my project, I have to repeatedly quit and restart Reality Composer Pro. In my use of RCP just now, I had to quit and restart RCP six times to create seven new scenes. Is this a known issue? Repro steps: In a Reality Composer Pro project, create a new folder using the "add folder" icon button in the project browser. Inside the new folder, click the "Create new scene in the project" icon button. Click the "Create new scene in the project" icon button a second time. Expected behavior: A new USDA file is created on disk. The new USDA file's root entity appears in the entity hierarchy browser and a corresponding new tab is created. Observed behavior: The USDA file for this scene is not created on disk and it does not appear in the entity hierarchy browser in a new tab. In the project browser view, a yellow document icon appears and it does not appear to correspond to an actual USDA file. Thank you for any insight you can provide about this issue.

Hi, I’m currently using Reality Composer Pro on macOS, and I’m trying to work with particle emitters using only the built-in tools — no Xcode, no custom Swift code. Here’s what I’m trying to achieve: 1. Is it possible to trigger a particle emitter with a tap gesture, directly inside Reality Composer Pro? 2. Can I add a particle emitter to a timeline, so that it emits at a specific time during an animation or behavior sequence? 3. Most importantly, is there a way to precisely control emission behavior — such as when particles start or stop — using visual and intuitive controls, without scripting? My goal is to set up particle effects that are interactive and timeline-controlled, but managed entirely through Reality Composer Pro’s GUI, not through code. Any suggestions, tips, or examples would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm working on a visionOS project that uses Reality Composer Pro, and we are managing our project files with Git. We've noticed that simply opening and closing the Reality Composer Pro application consistently generates changes in the following files, even when no explicit modifications have been made by the developer: {ProjectName}/Packages/RealityKitContent/Package.realitycomposerpro/PluginData/*******/ShaderGraphEditorPluginID/ShaderGraphEditorPluginID {ProjectName}/Packages/RealityKitContent/Package.realitycomposerpro/WorkspaceData/SceneMetadataList.json Could you please clarify the purpose of these files? Why do they appear as modified when no direct changes are made from our end? More importantly, is it safe to add these files to our .gitignore to prevent them from being tracked by Git? We are concerned that ignoring these files might lead to unexpected issues or inconsistencies when other team members pull the latest changes, especially if these files contain critical project metadata or state that needs to be synchronized. Any insights or recommended best practices for managing Reality Composer Pro projects with Git would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Any way to extend the video recording time in Reality Composer Pro from 3:00 to any longer value, such as editing preferences in Terminal or other workaround? Is there any way to use the strap and a USB-C cable as a live video stream input source that would mirror to Quicktime or some other video capture tool? I am assuming there is no online documentation or user manual for the strap, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

Hi there, I'm developing a visionOS app that is using the anchor points and mesh from SceneReconstructionProvider anchor updates. I load an ImmersiveSpace using a RealityView and apply a ShaderGraphMaterial (from a Shader Graph in Reality Composer Pro) to the mesh and use calls to setParameter to dynamically update the material on very rapid frequency. The mesh is locked (no more updates) before the calls to setParameter. This process works for a few minutes but then eventually I get the following error in the console: assertion failure: Index out of range (operator[]:line 789) index = 13662, max = 1 With the following stack trace: Thread 1 Queue : com.apple.main-thread (serial) #0 0x00000002880f90d0 in __abort_with_payload () #1 0x000000028812a6dc in abort_with_payload_wrapper_internal () #2 0x000000028812a710 in abort_with_payload () #3 0x0000000288003f40 in _os_crash_msg () #4 0x00000001dc9ff624 in re::ecs2::ComponentBucketsBase::addComponent () #5 0x00000001dc9ffadc in re::ecs2::ComponentBucketsBase::moveComponent () #6 0x00000001dc8b0278 in re::ecs2::MaterialParameterBlockArrayComponentStateImpl::processPreparingComponents () #7 0x00000001dc8b05e4 in re::ecs2::MaterialParameterBlockArraySystem::update () #8 0x00000001dd008744 in re::Scheduler::executePhase () #9 0x00000001dc032ec4 in re::Engine::executePhase () #10 0x0000000248121898 in RCPSharedSimulationExecuteUpdate () #11 0x00000002264e488c in __59-[MRUISharedSimulation _doJoinWithConnectionContext:error:]_block_invoke.44 () #12 0x0000000268c5fe9c in _UIUpdateSequenceRunNext () #13 0x00000002696ea540 in schedulerStepScheduledMainSectionContinue () #14 0x000000026af8d284 in UC::DriverCore::continueProcessing () #15 0x00000001a1bd4e6c in CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION () #16 0x00000001a1bd4db0 in __CFRunLoopDoSource0 () #17 0x00000001a1bd44f0 in __CFRunLoopDoSources0 () #18 0x00000001a1bd3640 in __CFRunLoopRun () #19 0x00000001a1bce284 in _CFRunLoopRunSpecificWithOptions () #20 0x00000001eff12d2c in GSEventRunModal () #21 0x00000002697de878 in -[UIApplication _run] () #22 0x00000002697e33c0 in UIApplicationMain () #23 0x00000001b56651e4 in closure #1 (Swift.UnsafeMutablePointer<Swift.Optional<Swift.UnsafeMutablePointer<Swift.Int8>>>) -> Swift.Never in SwiftUI.KitRendererCommon(Swift.AnyObject.Type) -> Swift.Never () #24 0x00000001b5664f08 in SwiftUI.runApp<τ_0_0 where τ_0_0: SwiftUI.App>(τ_0_0) -> Swift.Never () #25 0x00000001b53ad570 in static SwiftUI.App.main() -> () () #26 0x0000000101bc7b9c in static MetalRendererApp.$main() () #27 0x0000000101bc7bdc in main () #28 0x0000000197fd0284 in start () Any advice on how to solve this or prevent the error?

I have a scene that has been assembled in RCP but I'm losing the correct hierarchy and transforms when running the scene in the headset or the simulator. This is in RCP: This is at runtime with the debugger: As you can see the "MAIN_WAGON" entity is gone and part of the hierarchy are now children of "TRAIN_ROOT" instead. Another issue is that not only part of the hieararchy disappears, it also reverts back to default values of the transform instead of what is set in RCP: This is in RCP: This is in the simulator/headset: I'm filing a feedback ticket too and will post the number here. Anyone had a similar issue and found a fix or workaround ?

Hi, I'm developing a prototype VisionOS game. How to access the bones or joints information when exporting a USD file from Blender to RCP? The animation in RCP works fine and the joints' information is correctly embedded in the USDA file (with usdchecker). However, RCP does not read it in USDA, USDC or USDZ. It should be possible based on Apple WWDC24 (Compose Interactive 3D content in RCP). I want to attach and detach an entity to a particular bone in certain moments. So I need the bones' data. They are standard mixamo animations. My mesh is a single unified mesh. Using Blender 4.4

I developed an app on VisionPro and created a button that allows users to exit the app instead of being forced to exit. I use the ”exit (0)“ scheme to exit the application, but when I re-enter, the loaded window is not the initial window, so is there any relevant code that can be used? Thank you

I downloaded the file through Scoot, and when I remove VisionPro, the app will call the StreamDelegate method and return ". endEncountered". How can I solve this problem? Thank you！

The ShaderGraph Node Blurred Background (RealityKit) – https://developer.apple.com/documentation/shadergraph/realitykit/blurred-background-(realitykit) works fine within the RealityComposer Pro 2 editor but isn't working on iOS 18 or macOS 15. Instead of the blurred content it just renders as opaque in a single color (Screenshot 2). Interestingly it also fails to render within RealityComposer Pro when no other entities are within the scene, e.g only a background skybox set. Expected Behavior: It would be great if this node worked the same way as it does on visionOS since this would allow for really interesting and nice effects for scenes. Feedback ID: FB15081190

My friend cannot build my visionOS project in the simulator. He gets the following error. Error: [xrsimulator] Exception thrown during compile: cannotGetRkassetsContents(path: "/Users/path/to/Packages/RealityKitContent/Sources/RealityKitContent/RealityKitContent.rkassets") In Xcode, he is able to open the RealityKitContent package in realityComposer Pro by clicking on the Package.realitycomposerpro file. No warnings show up wrt this error in RCP either. All scenes appear to be usable/navigable in RCP. This error only comes up when he tries to build the project in Xcode command+b. The is no other information in the Report Navigator's Build logs for this error. The error is always followed by this next error. Error: Tool exited with code 1 Yikes, please help!

Hello! I’m familiar with the discussion on “Sending messages to the scene”, and I’ve successfully used that code. However, I have several instances of the same model in my scene. Is it possible to make only one specific model respond to a notification? For example, can I pass something like RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.SourceEntity in userInfo or use another method to target just one instance?

I sketched a idea for a project in Reality Composer on my iPad, thinking when I had a chance to sit down I would work it up in Xcode. However, when I got back to my computer, I discovered I cannot open a file created in Reality Composer (or the exported Reality file) in Reality Composer Pro. Am I missing something obvious here, because this seems like a huge oversight. If anyone, can let me know how to open a file created in Reality Composer in Reality Composer Pro, I would greatly appreciate it. Partly, because there seems to be objects available in Reality Composer that are not in Reality Composer Pro. Thanks Stan

是对原本VisionPro每个App的内存限制做了扩展嘛？放宽了内存限制么？

In courses like Compose interactive 3D content in Reality Composer Pro Realitykit Engineers recommended working with Reality Composer Pro to create RealityKit packages to embed in our Realitykit Xcode projects. And, comparing the workflow to Unity/Unreal, I can see the reasoning since it is nice to prepare scenes/materials/assets visually. Now when we also want to run a Xcode Cloud CI/CD pipeline this seems to come into conflict: When adding a basic *.usdz to the RealityKitContent.rkassets folder, every build we run on Xcode cloud fails with: Compile Reality Asset RealityKitContent.rkassets ❌realitytool requires Metal for this operation and it is not available in this build environment I have also found this related forum post here but it was specifically about compiling a *.skybox.
