In visionOS, in order to fully implement Group Activities, do we need to write additional code?

xI'm wondering if now would be an excellent time for Apple to consider implementing Accessibility Lens with FaceTime Chroma Green. Unlike Apple, other platforms like Zoom and Webex allow using Chroma Green backgrounds. I use Cam Studio, Elgato Camera Hub, and OBS for Chroma Green effects. I'd like to have the option to use FaceTime with a Chroma Green and choose my background setting. For accessibility and professionalism, we need the ability to change the background settings. We want to be creative with our FaceTime and FaceTime Group. We've invested much in our devices, including iPhones, iPads, and MacBook Pros. The issue stems from Apple's built-in applications using hardened runtimes. These runtimes prevent apps from loading third-party plugins unless explicitly allowed by the developers. This means third-party camera drivers are incompatible with Apple apps. We're trying to find a solution, but currently, there's nothing we can do. This is a barrier for all of us who are Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing and rely on FaceTime and FaceTime Group with Chroma Green background settings. Please let me know. Thank you!

Is it not possible to test Group Activities without a paid developer account? I don't see Group Activities in Signing & Capabilities in Xcode. I'm looking to try adding support for my app but unable to try this myself and just seeing if I need a paid developer account to do so?

Hi there, I'm wondering how to get GroupSessionJournal API to work. I have gone through the "Share files with SharePlay" session WWDC23 and have been unsuccessful at getting the DrawTogether example app to work with syncing the images using the GroupSessionJournal as described and shown in the session. When I run the DrawTogether example app with the GroupSessionJournal code in it, I can get the two devices to see one another and the strokes will update across both devices in realtime (they are using GroupSessionMessenger) but the image code doesn't cause images loaded on either side to sync to the other device. Is the GroupSessionJournal still in beta - and/or I'm missing something? Cheers! j*

Does anyone know how to import the real time 3d face models (we've seen it in new apple FaceTime previews) to your programs as a dev? p.s... anyone want to collab?

When I receive a skipped message sent by the other party through GroupSession, I would like to change the line of text in the image Workout Together to skip.

According to the keynote: "And we're also using this same gesture to make it easier than ever to AirDrop content, and even kick off shared experiences" also in this wwdc session https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10239 06:58, it showed that you can start a shareplay session by just bumping. There's no mention of this in the API, how does one do this?

I was looking for a way to use SharePlay with visionOS. SDKs specify it is only available for iOS, macOS and tvOS. Could you please confirm on that.
