In the Creating A 3D Application With Hydra Rendering tutorial on the Apple Developer website, on the last step where I execute this command:
cmake -S ~/Users/macuser/CreatingA3DApplicationWithHydraRendering/ -B ~/Users/macuser/CreatingA3DApplicationWithHydraRendering/
I keep getting an error:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (include):
include could not find requested file:
/Users/macuser/USDInstall/bin/pxrConfig.cmake
I've tried to follow the instructions as mentioned in the README.md file included in the project files at least 5 times as well as moving the pxrConfig.cmake file around and copying it in different folders, then executed the command and was still unsuccessful into generating the proper file expected to compile and render the HydraPlayer renderer. How do I get cmake to generate the Xcode file to create the HydraPlayer renderer?

So if I drag an entity in RealityView I have to disable the PhysicsBodyComponent to make sure nothing fights dragging the entity around. This makes sense.
When I finish a drag, this closure gets executed:
.gesture(
DragGesture()
.targetedToAnyEntity()
.onChanged { e in
// ...
}
.onEnded { e in
let velocity: CGSize = e.gestureValue.velocity
}
If I now re-add PhysicsBodyComponent to the component I just dragged, and I make it mode: .dynamic it will loose all velocity and drop straight down through gravity.
Instead the solution is to apply mode: .kinematic and also apply a PhysicsMotionComponent component to the entity. This should retain velocity after letting go of the object.
However, I need to instatiate it with PhysicsMotionComponent(linearVelocity: SIMD3<Float>, angularVelocity: SIMD3<Float>).
How can I calculate the linearVelocity and angularVelocity when the e.gestureValue.velocity I get is just a CGSize?
Is there another prop of gestureValue I should be looking at?
I'm using RealityView in my iOS game mxied with SwiftUI. For the following 2 example usages, the simulator will only render the first RealityView, and the second one is either super laggy or show a black model. Running on the real device is all good, just simualtor has this issue.
Have a TabView and each tab has a RealityView.
Have a root view and detail view connected via a push navigation, both root and detail have a RealityView.
In the Simulator, the second RealityView is going to be very choppy and basically unusable, but on a real iPhone everything looks great.
Is this a known simulator issue or I did something bad?
macOS 15.2, MBP M1, built-in display.
The following code produces a line outside the bounds of my clipping region when drawing to CGLayers, to produce a clockwise arc:
CGContextBeginPath(m_s.outContext);
CGContextAddArc(m_s.outContext, leftX + radius, topY - radius, radius, -startRads, -endRads, 1);
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(m_s.outContext, col.fRed(), col.fGreen(), col.fBlue(), col.fAlpha());
CGContextSetLineWidth(m_s.outContext, width);
CGContextStrokePath(m_s.outContext);
Drawing other shapes such as rects or ellipses doesn't cause a problem.
I can work around the issue by bringing the path back to the start of the arc:
CGContextBeginPath(m_s.outContext);
CGContextAddArc(m_s.outContext, leftX + radius, topY - radius, radius, -startRads, -endRads, 1);
// add a second arc back to the start
CGContextAddArc(m_s.outContext, leftX + radius, topY - radius, radius, -endRads, -startRads, 0);
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(m_s.outContext, col.fRed(), col.fGreen(), col.fBlue(), col.fAlpha());
CGContextSetLineWidth(m_s.outContext, width);
CGContextStrokePath(m_s.outContext);
But this does appear to be a bug.
Hi!
Using ARView in UIKit or through a UIViewRepresentable in SwiftUI, we can do:
arView.debugOptions = [.showPhysics, .showStatistics]
What is the equivalent in RealityView?

I have been tasked with creating content for the Apple Vision Pro. Just the 3D content and animation, not the programming end of things.
I can't seem to get any kind of mesh deformation animation to import into Reality Composer Pro. By that I mean bones/skin, or even point cache.
I work on PC, and my main software is 3DS Max, but I'm borrowing an iMac for this job, and was instructed to use RCP on it for testing before handing things off to the programmer. My files open and play fine in other USD programs, like Omniverse, or USD View, just not Reality Composer Pro.
I've seen the dinosaur demo in AVP, so I know mesh deformation is possible. If there are other essential tools that might make this possible, I have not been made aware of them.
I am experimenting with bouncing things off of Blender, in case that exports better, but not really having luck there either -though my results are different.
Thanks.

I’ve added two recurring leaderboards to my app and the user interface for the Game Center leaderboards pops up when expected and it lists the leaderboards but when you click on them it says “Have Fun With Friends” and lists some of my contacts instead of any scores. The status under Apple Connect is “Not Live” and I’m wondering how to activate them. App has been approved for external beta testing. On a related note, on my iPad it doesn’t display correctly, it says “Game Center” at the top but the rest of the UI doesn’t appear, just blackness.
Hi all,
I've developed some code that enables an arcball camera interaction with my scene. I've done this using components and systems. The implementation feels a bit messy as I've got gesture code on my realityView, and then a bunch of other code that uses those gesture inputs in my component and system.
Is there a demo app, or some example code that shows a nice way to encapsulate these things in to one item for custom cameras, something like Apple's .realityViewCameraControls(.orbit)
If not can anyone recommend an approach to take?

I mean…I want to use defaults rather than launching apps via open with the saved environment variables.
This is pretty easy on iOS and other platforms. So what about in macOS?
So I'm trying to use SpriteKit to make the background of my game. The walls have alpha 1.0, and the safe area alpha 0 and fully transparent. (e.g. a big black square with a smaller transparent square in the middle of it). Yet sprite kit always assume the entire image is either fully opaque or fully transparent. That defies its purpose isn't it? Is there a way to make this work?

Hi,
I'm working with a very simple app that tries to read a coordinates card and past the data into diferent fields. The card's layout is COLUMNS from 1-10, ROWs from A-J and a two digit number for each cell. In my app, I have field for each of those cells (A1, A2...). I want that OCR to read that card and paste the info but I just cant. I have two problems. The camera won't close. It remains open until I press the button SAVE (this is not good because a user could take 3, 4, 5... pictures of the same card with, maybe, different results, and then? Which is the good one?). Then, after I press save, I can see the OCR kinda works ( the console prints all the date read) but the info is not pasted at all.
Any idea? I know is hard to know what's wrong but I've tried chatgpt and all it does... just doesn't work

What evidence exists that it's safe to call nextDrawable() on CAMetalLayer off the main thread? I have seen developers claiming that it's OK, but the official docs are silent on the topic. Attempting to do so with Strict Concurrency Checking set to Complete complains that CAMetalLayer is not @Sendable.
I want to call it off the main thread since there doesn't seem to be any way to prevent it from blocking the UI for up to a second. I have read hints and allegations that this won't happen if you avoid asking for too many drawables, but that doesn't seem to be true 100% of the time in my experience.
Supposing it is allowed, I wonder how races are handled such as when the layer's size is changed on the main thread, or if the layer is removed from the layer hierarchy.

Hello experts, I'm trying to implement a material with custom shader code, but I saw that visionOS doesn't allow you to inject custom Metal functions or use CustomMaterial like iOS/macOS, nor can you directly write Metal Shading Language (.metal) and use it through ShaderGraphMaterial. So my question is, if i want to implement your own shader code, how should i do it?
I'm trying to add support to PS5 DualSense controller.
when I try to use the API from here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/gamecontroller/gcdualsenseadaptivetrigger?language=objc
None of the API works, am I missed anything?
The code is like this:
if ( [ controller.extendedGamepad isKindOfClass:[ GCDualSenseGamepad class ] ] )
{
GCDualSenseGamepad * dualSenseGamePad = ( GCDualSenseGamepad * )controller.extendedGamepad;
auto funcSetEffectTrigger = []( TriggerEffectParams& params, GCDualSenseAdaptiveTrigger *trigger ) {
if ( params.m_mode == TriggerEffectMode::Off )
{
[ trigger setModeOff ];
NSLog(@"setModeOff trigger.mode:%d", trigger.mode );
}
else if ( params.m_mode == TriggerEffectMode::Feedback )
{
[ trigger setModeFeedbackWithStartPosition: 0.2f resistiveStrength: 0.5f ];
}
else if ( params.m_mode == TriggerEffectMode::Weapon )
{
[ trigger setModeWeaponWithStartPosition: 0.2f endPosition: 0.4f resistiveStrength: 0.5f ];
}
else if ( params.m_mode == TriggerEffectMode::Vibration )
{
[ trigger setModeVibrationWithStartPosition: position amplitude: amplitude frequency: frequency ];
}
};
if ( L2 )
{
funcSetEffectTrigger( params, dualSenseGamePad.leftTrigger );
}
if ( R2 )
{
funcSetEffectTrigger( params, dualSenseGamePad.rightTrigger );
}
}
I've also tested to add "Game Controllers" capability to Target, still not working.
Can't find anything else from the document or forums.
I've no idea what need to do.
Like many folks here, I've recently attempted to build Apple's Game Porting Toolkit on my machine and ran into compiler errors, but instead of going the usual route of downloading the prebuilt package (kindly provided by GCenX), I decided to see if I could force it to build (since it was obviously buildable at some point). Down below is the list of things I had to do to make it work.
Disclaimer: There are several dirty hacks I had to attempt to force the system to do what I needed. Use at your own risk.
Don't forget to run all brew commands from a Rosetta prompt:
arch -x86_64 zsh
Install openssl
This one is easy. Just run
brew tap rbenv/tap
brew install rbenv/tap/openssl@1.1
Install Command Line Tools 15.1
This specific version is required since newer versions come with the linker that is not compatible with the custom compiler (game-porting-toolkit-compiler) that GPTK is using. However, by default 15.1 tools won't install on Sequoia since the installer complains that macOS version is too new. Obviously, Apple has their reasons to not allow this, but all we need is a compiler which should be mostly indifferent to the OS version.
To trick the installer, we need to change OS requirement of the installer package. You can do it in four easy steps:
Copy Command Line Tools.pkg from the mounted Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_15.1.dmg to some other directory.
Expand the installer package:
pkgutil --expand "Command Line Tools.pkg" CLT
You might be prompted to install Command Line Tools when you call pkgutil, just install any version.
Go to the newly created CLT folder and edit the Distribution file (it may appear as executable but it's just an xml). You would want to change allowed-os-versions to something greater than 15. Removing this section altogether might also work.
When done, re-wrap the package:
pkgutil --flatten CLT "Command Line Tools 2.pkg"
Congratulations, now you should be able to install 15.1 tools on your OS! If you had to install newer Command Line Tools for pkgutil, delete them before installing 15.1:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Next step is to make Homebrew accept the outdated 15.1 tools, as by default it'll complain that they're outdated or corrupted. To shut it up, open
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/extend/os/Mac/diagnostic.rb
and remove references to check_if_supported_sdk_available from a couple of fatal build check collections.
Note - by default, Homebrew will auto-update on any invocation, which will overwrite any changes you've made to its internals. To disable this behavior, before running any brew commands in the terminal, run
export HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1
After these manipulations, Homebrew might still complain about outdated Command Line Tools, but it won't be a fatal error anymore.
Finally, we need to downgrade MinGW to 11.0.1, since the latest version spits out compiler errors when compiling Wine. Unfortunately, Homebrew does a bad job tracking versions of MinGW, so there is no automatic way to do it. Instead, you have to manually download and install old MinGW 11.0.1 formula from the Homebrew git repository. I used the commit from Sep 16, 2023:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/b95f4f9491394af667943bd92b081046ba3406f2/Formula/m/mingw-w64.rb
Download the file above, save it in your current working directory, and then run
brew install ./mingw-w64.rb
If you had a newer version of MinGW already installed from the previous build attempts, you can unlink it before installing the one above:
brew unlink mingw-w64
With Command Line Tools 15.1 and MinGW 11.0.1 you should now be able to build GPTK without errors:
brew -v install apple/apple/game-porting-toolkit
In the end, steps above worked for me, although more things could break in the future. I'm leaving the instructions here just to show that it's still possible to build GPTK manually instead of relying on third parties, but with all the hoops I had to jump through I can't really recommend it.
