I am trying the simplest use of attachment in realityKit and get Contextual closure type @MainActor, @Sendable (inout RealityViewCameraContent) async -> void expects 1 argument, but 2 were used in closure body.
Also i get cannot find Attachment in scope

I'm trying to get video material to work on an imported 3D asset, and this asset is a USDC file. There's actually an example in this WWDC video from Apple. You can see it running on the flag in this airplane, but there are no examples of this, and there are no other examples on the internet. Does anybody know how to do this?
You can look at 10:34 in this video.

I'm trying to understand how Apple handles dragging windows around in an immersive space. 3d Gestures seem to be only half of the solution in that they are great if you're standing still and want to move the window an exaggerated amount around the environment, but if you then start walking while dragging, the amplified gesture sends the entity flying off into the distance. It seems they quickly transition from one coordinate system to another depending on if the user is physically moving. If you drag a window and start walking the movement suddenly matches your speed. When you stop moving, you can push and pull the windows around again like a super hero. Am I missing something obvious in how to copy this behavior? Hello world, which uses the 3d gesture has the same problem. You can move the world around but if you walk with it, it flies off. Are they tracking the head movement and if it's moved more than a certain amount it uses that offset instead? Is there anything out of the box that can do this before I try and hack my own solution?
My experience has been that ModelEntity(named:in:) can be used to load a USD file with a simple structure consisting of entities and model entities, and, critically, it will flatten the entity hierarchy down to a single ModelEntity, presumably reducing the number of draw calls.
However, can anyone verify that the following is true?
If ModelEntity(named:in:) is used to load a USD file from a RealityKit content bundle, it may fail when the USD file contains more complex data, such as shader graph material definitions, or perhaps for some other reason. I am not sure.
AND the error that ModelEntity(named:in:) throws in this case is
Cannot load RealityKitContent entity: Failed to find resource with name "<name>" in bundle
which would literally suggest that the file does not exist, instead of what I assume the error actually is, which is "the file exists but its entity hierarchy could not be flattened to a single ModelEntity" ?
Is that an accurate description of the known behavior of ModelEntity:named:in:)?
I understand that I could use Entity(named:in:) instead, without the flattening feature. My question is really more about the seemingly misleading error message.
Thank you for any clarification you can provide.
I'm new here so I don't know what's this function belongs to which topic... Sorry about that!
I watched the WWDC stream and I am really interested in this function, I'm wondering if this function could be used in my apps.
I looked up the document but I find it only support visionOS(i'm not sure about that, but I saw the demo is base on the visionOS)
Hi,
I'm rewriting my game from SceneKit to RealityKit, and I'm having trouble implementing the following scenario:
I tap on the iPhone screen to select an Entity that I want to drag.
If an Entity was tapped, it should then be possible to drag it left, right, etc.
SceneKit solution:
func CGPointToSCNVector3(_ view: SCNView, depth: Float, point: CGPoint) -> SCNVector3 {
let projectedOrigin = view.projectPoint(SCNVector3Make(0, 0, Float(depth)))
let locationWithz = SCNVector3Make(Float(point.x), Float(point.y), Float(projectedOrigin.z))
return view.unprojectPoint(locationWithz)
}
and then I was calling:
SCNView().hitTest(location, options: [SCNHitTestOption.firstFoundOnly:true])
the code was called inside of the UIPanGestureRecognizer in my UIViewController.
Could I reuse that code or should I go with the SwiftUI approach - something like that:
var body: some View {
RealityView {
....
} .gesture(TapGesture().onEnded {
})
?
I already have this code:
@State private var location: CGPoint?
.onTapGesture { location in
self.location = location
}
I'm trying to identify the entity that was tapped within the RealityView like that:
RealityView { content in
let box: ModelEntity = createBox() // for now there is only one box, however there will be many boxes
content.add(box)
let anchor = AnchorEntity(world: [0, 0, 0])
content.add(anchor)
_ = content.subscribe(to: SceneEvents.Update.self) { event in
//TODO: find tapped entity, so that it could be dragged inside of the DragGesture()
}
Any help would be appreciated.
I also noticed that if I create a TapGesture like that:
TapGesture(count: 1)
.targetedToAnyEntity()
and add it to my view using .gesture() then it is not triggered.
Post can be removed.
I have 2 planes with textures on. I want these planes to intersect [ –|– ], and I want the blend mode to be additive. Currently I get z fighting on the planes, and I can't see how to set blend modes.
I've done this before in Unity and Godot in a fairly straight forward manner.
How do I accomplish this with RealityKit, preferably using code only (my scene is quite dynamic)?
Do I need to do it with a shader manually? How can I stop the z fighting?
Hey there, I’m currently planning to use RealityKit in a new multiplatform app I’m building. Unfortunately, I noticed that WatchOS is not supported for RealityKit, while SceneKit is getting deprecated. However, I’d like to maintain the same codebase across platforms. What are my options?
Hi,
How to enable multitouch on ARView?
Touch functions (touchesBegan, touchesMoved, ...) seem to only handle one touch at a time. In order to handle multiple touches at a time with ARView, I have to either:
Use SwiftUI .simultaneousGesture on top of an ARView representable
Position a UIView on top of ARView to capture touches and do hit testing by passing a reference to ARView
Expected behavior:
ARView should capture all touches via touchesBegan/Moved/Ended/Cancelled.
Here is what I tried, on iOS 26.1 and macOS 26.1:
ARView Multitouch
The setup below is a minimal ARView presented by SwiftUI, with touch events handled inside ARView. Multitouch doesn't work with this setup.
Note that multitouch wouldn't work either if the ARView is presented with a UIViewController instead of SwiftUI.
import RealityKit
import SwiftUI
struct ARViewMultiTouchView: View {
var body: some View {
ZStack {
ARViewMultiTouchRepresentable()
.ignoresSafeArea()
}
}
}
#Preview {
ARViewMultiTouchView()
}
// MARK: Representable ARView
struct ARViewMultiTouchRepresentable: UIViewRepresentable {
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> ARView {
let arView = ARViewMultiTouch(frame: .zero)
let anchor = AnchorEntity()
arView.scene.addAnchor(anchor)
let boxWidth: Float = 0.4
let boxMaterial = SimpleMaterial(color: .red, isMetallic: false)
let box = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateBox(size: boxWidth), materials: [boxMaterial])
box.name = "Box"
box.components.set(CollisionComponent(shapes: [.generateBox(width: boxWidth, height: boxWidth, depth: boxWidth)]))
anchor.addChild(box)
return arView
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: ARView, context: Context) { }
}
// MARK: ARView
class ARViewMultiTouch: ARView {
required init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
/// Enable multi-touch
isMultipleTouchEnabled = true
cameraMode = .nonAR
automaticallyConfigureSession = false
environment.background = .color(.gray)
/// Disable gesture recognizers to not conflict with touch events
/// But it doesn't fix the issue
gestureRecognizers?.forEach { $0.isEnabled = false }
}
required dynamic init?(coder decoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
for touch in touches {
/// # Problem
/// This should print for every new touch, up to 5 simultaneously on an iPhone (multi-touch)
/// But it only fires for one touch at a time (single-touch)
print("Touch began at: \(touch.location(in: self))")
}
}
}
Multitouch with an Overlay
This setup works, but it doesn't seem right. There must be a solution to make ARView handle multi touch directly, right?
import SwiftUI
import RealityKit
struct MultiTouchOverlayView: View {
var body: some View {
ZStack {
MultiTouchOverlayRepresentable()
.ignoresSafeArea()
Text("Multi touch with overlay view")
.font(.system(size: 24, weight: .medium))
.foregroundStyle(.white)
.offset(CGSize(width: 0, height: -150))
}
}
}
#Preview {
MultiTouchOverlayView()
}
// MARK: Representable Container
struct MultiTouchOverlayRepresentable: UIViewRepresentable {
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIView {
/// The view that SwiftUI will present
let container = UIView()
/// ARView
let arView = ARView(frame: container.bounds)
arView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
arView.cameraMode = .nonAR
arView.automaticallyConfigureSession = false
arView.environment.background = .color(.gray)
let anchor = AnchorEntity()
arView.scene.addAnchor(anchor)
let boxWidth: Float = 0.4
let boxMaterial = SimpleMaterial(color: .red, isMetallic: false)
let box = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateBox(size: boxWidth), materials: [boxMaterial])
box.name = "Box"
box.components.set(CollisionComponent(shapes: [.generateBox(width: boxWidth, height: boxWidth, depth: boxWidth)]))
anchor.addChild(box)
/// The view that will capture touches
let touchOverlay = TouchOverlayView(frame: container.bounds)
touchOverlay.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
touchOverlay.backgroundColor = .clear
/// Pass an arView reference to the overlay for hit testing
touchOverlay.arView = arView
/// Add views to the container.
/// ARView goes in first, at the bottom.
container.addSubview(arView)
/// TouchOverlay goes in last, on top.
container.addSubview(touchOverlay)
return container
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context: Context) {
}
}
// MARK: Touch Overlay View
/// A UIView to handle multi-touch on top of ARView
class TouchOverlayView: UIView {
weak var arView: ARView?
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
isMultipleTouchEnabled = true
isUserInteractionEnabled = true
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
let totalTouches = event?.allTouches?.count ?? touches.count
print("--- Touches Began --- (New: \(touches.count), Total: \(totalTouches))")
for touch in touches {
let location = touch.location(in: self)
/// Hit testing.
/// ARView and Touch View must be of the same size
if let arView = arView {
let entity = arView.entity(at: location)
if let entity = entity {
print("Touched entity: \(entity.name)")
} else {
print("Touched: none")
}
}
}
}
override func touchesCancelled(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
let totalTouches = event?.allTouches?.count ?? touches.count
print("--- Touches Cancelled --- (Cancelled: \(touches.count), Total: \(totalTouches))")
}
}
Hello,
Question re: iOS RealityView postProcess. I've got a working postProcess kernel and I'd like to add some depth-based effects to it. Theoretically I should be able to just do:
encoder.setTexture(context.sourceDepthTexture, index: 1)
and then in the kernel:
texture2d<float, access::read> depthIn [[texture(1)]]
...
outTexture.write(depthIn.read(gid), gid);
And I consistently see all black rendered to the view. The postProcess shader works, so that's not the issue. It just seems to not be receiving actual depth information.
(If I set a breakpoint at the encoder setTexture step, I can see preview the color texture of the scene, but the context's depthTexture looks like all NaN / blank.)
I've looked at all the WWDC samples, but they include ARView for all the depth sample code, which has a different set of configuration options than RealityView. So far I haven't seen anywhere to explicitly tell RealityView "include the depth information". So I'm not sure if I'm missing something there.
It appears that there is indeed a depth texture being passed, but it looks blank.
Is there a working example somewhere that we can reference?
Is there any support pr plans for support for for raytraced reflections in RealityKit on the Vision Pro M5? I cannot find any documentation regarding this topic.
The simplest realityView (content, attachments in ...
causes Contextual closure expects 1 argument but 2 were used in closure body. I have checked every example and i cannot understand why i get this error regardless of any content. Note: i have added Attachment(id: "test") to the attachment closure and get Attachment not is scope.
imported both realityKit and SwiftUI.
I have tried every combination of suggestions to get a skybox to appear. Using swiftUI, realityKit and iOS. Non immersive environment. Does anyone have code that works to display a skybox.
When i use a do/catch loop i get environmentResource not found. I have checked the syntax, ensured the folder is referencing the target, used the same name for the folder as the file, the file is a .hdr (i assume this is supported), i have moved the file folder to the top level - no change.
Issue
When an Entity with a ViewAttachmentComponent is:
disabled using isEnabled = false
removed using removeFromParent()
and then enabled or added back again, the attached SwiftUI view is rendered correctly, but tap interactions stop working.
Specifically:
Button actions inside the attached view do not fire
TapGesture closures on child views do not respond
Expected Behavior
Tap interactions inside the attached view should continue to work after the Entity is re-enabled or re-added.
Actual Behavior
After being disabled or removed once, all tap interactions stop responding.
Comparison
When displaying the same SwiftUI view using RealityViewAttachments, this issue does not occur.
Removing and re-displaying the attachment still allows taps to work correctly.
Reproduction
Attached sample code reproduces the issue:
A RealityView with an Entity that has a ViewAttachmentComponent
The attached SwiftUI view contains a Toggle
The toggle updates isEnabled on the Entity
After toggling off and on, tap interactions stop responding
Environment
Xcode 26
visionOS 26
Question
Is this expected behavior of ViewAttachmentComponent, or a bug?
Is there a recommended way to temporarily hide or disable an Entity with ViewAttachmentComponent without breaking tap interactions?
import SwiftUI
import RealityKit
struct GestureTestView: View {
@State var sampleEnabled = true
@State var sampleEntity: Entity?
var body: some View {
RealityView { contents, attachments in
// After deleting and re-displaying it, taps no longer respond.
let sample = Entity(components: ViewAttachmentComponent(rootView: SampleView()))
// Executed successfully
//let sample = attachments.entity(for: "SampleView")!
contents.add(sample)
sample.position = [0, 1.2, -1]
sampleEntity = sample
let toggleButton = Entity(components: ViewAttachmentComponent(rootView: ToggleButtonView(isOn: $sampleEnabled)))
contents.add(toggleButton)
toggleButton.position = [0, 1, -1]
} update: { _, _ in
// run update closure
print(sampleEnabled)
// update sample entity enable
sampleEntity?.isEnabled = sampleEnabled
} attachments: {
Attachment(id: "SampleView") {
SampleView()
}
}
}
}
struct ToggleButtonView: View {
@Binding var isOn: Bool
var body: some View {
VStack {
Toggle(isOn: $isOn) {
Text("Toggle")
}
}
.padding()
.glassBackgroundEffect()
}
}
struct SampleView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button {
print("Hello, World!")
} label: {
Text("Hello, World!")
.padding()
}
}
.padding()
.glassBackgroundEffect()
}
}

Hi everyone,
I'm new to visionOS development. I'm trying to create a physics-based scene (with gravity) where users can pick up and move objects on a workbench. I am struggling with physics interactions during the drag gesture:
Kinematic Mode: If I switch to .kinematic during the drag, the object moves smoothly but clips through other objects (no collisions).
Dynamic Mode: I tried keeping it .dynamic and applying linear velocity toward the hand position, but the movement feels laggy and unresponsive.
Hybrid Approach: I tried switching to .kinematic during DragGesture.onChange and back to .dynamic on collision, but this causes the entity to jitter/shake violently when touching other objects.
Has anyone found a clean way to drag objects while maintaining solid collisions.
Thanks for your help!
Developing a prototype Vision Pro app and would like to render a 3D scene made from Reality Composer Pro on an image anchor in a RealityView. But I have no luck so far to make it work and need some guidance to move on.
I got the image file stored in the assets like below:
And from below is the source codes:
import SwiftUI
import RealityKit
import RealityKitContent
struct AnchorView: View {
@State var imageEntity: Entity = {
let anchorEntity = AnchorEntity(.image(group: "AR Resources", name: "reanchor"))
return anchorEntity
}()
var body: some View {
RealityView { content in
do
{
// Add the initial RealityKit content
if let scene = try? await Entity(named: "Scene", in: realityKitContentBundle)
{
imageEntity.addChild(scene)
content.add(imageEntity)
}
}
catch
{
print("Error occurs when adding reality view content: \(error)")
}
}
}
}
I have two apps released -- ReefScan and ReefBuild -- that are based on the WWDC21 sample photogrammetry apps for iOS and MacOS. Those run fine without LiDAR and are used mostly for underwater models where LiDAR does not work at all. It now appears that the updated photogrammetry session requires LiDAR data, and building my app on current xcode results in a non-working app. Has the "old" version of photgrammetry session been broken by this update? It worked very well previously so I would hate to see this regression to needing LiDAR. Most of my users do not have that.

I can't create any breakpoint in my Xcode after I upgraded to macOS 15.4
macOS: Version 15.4 (24E248)
visionOS Simulator: 2.3
Xcode: Version 16.2 (16C5032a)
My app works well without any breakpoints.
But if I create any breakpoint it shows me this:
Couldn't find the Objective-C runtime library in loaded images.

Hi, following the recent deprecation of SceneKit, I'm trying to move a couple of my SceneKit projects to RealityKit.
One thing I can't seem to find is how to change the content scale factor when using a RealityView in SwiftUI. It was really easy to do in SceneKit with just a SCNView property, and it seems that it's also possible when using ARView, but I can't find a way to do it with a RealityView. Maybe it's a SwiftUI limitation?
