I have had my Apple Vision Pro headset working with Xcode before, but it has been a while since testing in the headset. Today, Xcode on my M1 Mac Studio could not see my Apple Vision Pro to run code on the headset.
-
I have updated my headset to visionOS 2.4 developer beta
-
Both Mac and headset are on the same Wi-Fi network (I am typing this on my Mac via Mac Virtual Display).
-
Headset has developer mode turned on.
-
Initially I tried on the latest macOS (15.3.x) an Xcode (16.2) releases, but Xcode failed to find the headset.
-
I installed the lated Xcode beta (16.3 beta), but it still failed to find the headset.
-
I installed the latest developer beta on my Mac (15.4), but neither Xcode (16.2) nor Xcode beta (16.3) can find the headset.
-
When I try to manage devices in Xcode, my Apple Vision Pro headset does not appear.
Any idea what I am missing?
Resolved!
In case someone else runs ints this problem, or I do in the future and find this post, here is what I did:
In Apple Vision Pro, I selected
Settings > General > Remote Devices
The pane said it was available for pairing.
In Xcode, I selected the "No eligible devices" in the destination pop-up (down?) menu.
In the "Devices and Simulators" windows, my Apple Vision Pro shows up.
Then I could select it and pair with it (a challenge code popped up in the Vision Pro).
