Lighting disabled inside PortalComponent in Progressive/Full Immersion (visionOS 26.2)

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue where lighting is disabled within a Portal Component specifically when using Progressive or Full Immersion styles in visionOS 26.2.

[Steps to Reproduce]

Create a scene in Reality Composer Pro with custom lighting (Directional Light, IBL, etc.) and load it as an Entity. Add a PortalComponent to this Entity. Observe the Entity in an ImmersiveSpace under different Immersion Styles.

[Observed Behavior]

Mixed Immersion: Lighting works as expected.Progressive / Full Immersion: Lighting is disabled, causing the content to render incorrectly.

[Additional Context]

Without PortalComponent: The same Reality Composer Pro scene renders lighting correctly across all Immersion Styles (Mixed, Progressive, and Full).Regression: In applications built with Xcode 16.4 / visionOS 2.5, lighting inside the Portal functioned correctly. This issue appears to have emerged with Xcode 26.2 and visionOS 26.2.

[Questions]

Is the disabling of lighting inside Portals during Full/Progressive Immersion an intended architectural change or optimization in visionOS 26.2? Are there any workarounds, such as specific PortalComponent configurations or new API flags, to re-enable lighting in these immersion modes?

Thank you.
