SynchronizationServices over the Internet?

Is there an equivalent to MultipeerConnectivityService that implements SynchronizationService over TCP/IP connections?

I'd like to have two users in separate locations, each with a local ARAnchor but then have a synchronized RealityKit scene graph attached to their separate ARAnchors.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Not with the builtin MultipeerConnectivityService, but you can always encode your own data to then send over a TCP connection to another device.
The collaboration data can be grabbed with session(_:didOutputCollaborationData:) then sent over your network instead.

I think if you go to any further detail then you'll need to create your own data structure for sending instructions between devices, which is certainly achievable.

  • Hello, I was using the synchronize service of reality kit recently. I customized the component and added it to the entity I defined, and then the problem appeared. When I manipulate the entity on another device through the synchronization service (already Obtaining ownership) It appears that the component attribute I defined is nil. Is this because the network has not synchronized this component? thanks for your help！

  • You may need to register your component. That helped me around that.

Thanks maxxfrazer. That got me pointed in the right direction. I also found your MultipeerHelper project which has helped me understand a little better how the pieces fit together in a local environment.
