Hi, I'm working with CameraFrameProvider from Enterprise API. Is it always capped at 30fps, or is there something I can switch to get more?
I assume it is capped at 30, so let me cram in additional question here :). If I'd get a developer strap and attach an external camera capable of doing >30fps, will I get the full stream, or some other limitation will kick in?
I really love the immersive environments, but I don’t have experience with creating them. Do you have resources or tutorials you can recommend for creating these from scratch? I’ve seen the sample projects and videos, but they usually start in the middle, assuming you already have the assets created.

While using Screen Mirroring in developer mode within my immersive space, I noticed an alignment issue with the computer cursor (transparent circle). When I move it toward an attachment view, the cursor remains horizontal instead of aligning with the surface of the attachment view. It shows correctly on a 2D window only wrong on attachment view.
Is this behavior a bug, or could it be caused by a missing or incorrect configuration on the attachment view?
Want help, thanks.
I’ve submitted the following feedback:
FB13820942 (List Outline View Not Using Accent Color on Disclosure Caret for visionOS)
I’d appreciate help on this to see if I’m doing something wrong or indeed it’s the way visionOS currently works and it’s a suggested feedback.
Seeing this magical sand table, the unfolding and folding effects are similar to spreading out cards, which is very interesting. But I don't know how to achieve it. I want to see if there are any ways to achieve this effect and give some ideas. May I ask if this effect can be achieved under the existing API
I noticed in the latest macOS beta 3 that there was this update:
A new algorithm significantly improves PhotogrammetrySession reconstruction quality of low-texture objects not captured with the ObjectCaptureSession front end. It will be downloaded and cached once in the background when the PhotogrammetrySession is used at runtime. If network isn’t available at that time, the old low quality model will be used until the new one can be downloaded. There is no code change needed to get this improved model. (145220451)
I am not noticing any difference to before with the reconstructions I tested so I am assuming it's reverting to the old model but in the logs there is no way to see if it succeeds or fails to download that new model.
do you have any more information on what was improved here with some examples and what we should be looking for? also how can confirm the download of that new model has not failed?
I am a developer working on developing a space journal application. During the development process, I encountered several crucial strategic and technical decisions, and I would like to hear the experiences of those who have gone through similar situations. Here are the simplified versions of several questions I have.
Resource allocation: Which problem should I address first?
Design direction: In terms of interaction and UI design, how should I balance "immersion" and "usability"?
Market selection: Was it easier for a business to survive in the early stages as a B2B or B2C entity?
Cost estimation: How can I reasonably present to my investors the development costs of this project?
In order to avoid relying solely on intuition in my decisions, I created a short questionnaire, hoping to gather more structured opinions from my colleagues. If you are also exploring VisionOS, I sincerely hope you can take a few minutes to fill it out. The results are extremely important to me, and I would be more than happy to share the final summary findings with you.
Is it possible to achieve sub-second end-to-end latency when displaying live streaming video using APMP (Apple Projected Media Profile) with Wide FoV?
APMP supports HLS playback, but my understanding is that standard HLS introduces several seconds of latency. I would like to know whether APMP (especially Wide FoV) supports Low-Latency HLS, or if there are inherent limitations that make sub-second latency impractical.
If APMP is not suitable for this use case, are there any recommended alternatives within AVFoundation or related frameworks for rendering wide-FoV live video with very low latency?
Thank you for any insights.
VideoMaterial Black Screen on Vision Pro Device (Works in Simulator)
App Overview
App Name: Extn Browser
Bundle ID: ai.extn.browser
Purpose: A visionOS web browser that plays 360°/180° VR videos in an immersive sphere environment
Development Environment & SDK Versions
Component
Version
Xcode
26.2
Swift
6.2
visionOS Deployment Target
26.2
Swift Concurrency
MainActor isolation enabled
App is released in the TestFlight.
Frameworks Used
SwiftUI - UI framework
RealityKit - 3D rendering, MeshResource, ModelEntity, VideoMaterial
AVFoundation - AVPlayer, AVAudioSession
WebKit - WKWebView for browser functionality
Network - NWListener for local proxy server
Sphere Video Mechanism
The app creates an immersive 360° video experience using the following approach:
// 1. Create sphere mesh (10 meter radius for immersive viewing)
let mesh = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 10.0)
// 2. Create initial transparent material
var material = UnlitMaterial()
material.color = .init(tint: .clear)
// 3. Create entity and invert sphere (negative X scale)
let sphere = ModelEntity(mesh: mesh, materials: [material])
sphere.scale = SIMD3<Float>(-1, 1, 1) // Inverts normals for inside-out viewing
sphere.position = SIMD3<Float>(0, 1.5, 0) // Eye level
// 4. Create AVPlayer with video URL
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
// 5. Configure audio session for visionOS
let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
try audioSession.setCategory(.playback, mode: .moviePlayback, options: [.mixWithOthers])
try audioSession.setActive(true)
// 6. Create VideoMaterial and apply to sphere
let videoMaterial = VideoMaterial(avPlayer: player)
if var modelComponent = sphere.components[ModelComponent.self] {
modelComponent.materials = [videoMaterial]
sphere.components.set(modelComponent)
}
// 7. Start playback
player.play()
ImmersiveSpace Configuration
// browserApp.swift
ImmersiveSpace(id: appModel.immersiveSpaceID) {
ImmersiveView()
.environment(appModel)
}
.immersionStyle(selection: .constant(.mixed), in: .mixed)

The Issue
Behavior in Simulator: Video plays correctly on the inverted sphere surface - 360° video is visible and wraps around the user as expected.
Behavior on Physical Vision Pro: The sphere displays a black screen. No video content is visible, though the sphere entity itself is present.
Important: Not a DRM/Licensing Issue
This issue is NOT related to Digital Rights Management (DRM) or FairPlay. I have tested with:
Unlicensed raw MP4 video files (no DRM protection)
Self-hosted video content with no copy protection
Direct MP4 URLs from CDN without any licensing requirements
The same black screen behavior occurs with all unprotected video sources, ruling out DRM as the cause.
(Plain H.264 MP4, no DRM)
Screen Recording: Working in Simulator
The following screen recording demonstrates playing a 360° YouTube video in the immersive sphere on the visionOS Simulator:
https://cdn.commenda.kr/screen-001.mov
This confirms that the VideoMaterial and sphere rendering work correctly in the simulator, but the same setup shows a black screen on the physical Vision Pro device.
Observations
AVPlayer status reports .readyToPlay - The video appears to load successfully
VideoMaterial is created without errors - No exceptions thrown
Sphere entity renders - The geometry is visible (black surface)
Audio session is configured - No errors during audio session setup
Network requests succeed - The video URL is accessible from the device
Same result with local/unprotected content - DRM is not a factor
Console Logs (Device)
The logging shows:
Sphere created and added to scene
AVPlayer created with correct URL
VideoMaterial created and applied
Player status transitions to .readyToPlay
player.play() called successfully
Rate shows 1.0 (playing)
Despite all success indicators, the rendered output is black.
Questions for Apple
Are there known differences in VideoMaterial behavior between the visionOS Simulator and physical Vision Pro hardware?
Does VideoMaterial(avPlayer:) require specific video codec/format requirements that differ on device? (The test video is a standard H.264 MP4)
Is there a required Metal capability or GPU feature for VideoMaterial that may not be available in certain contexts on device?
Does the immersion style (.mixed) affect VideoMaterial rendering on hardware?
Are there additional entitlements required for video texture rendering in RealityKit on physical hardware?
Attempted Solutions
Configured AVAudioSession with .playback category
Added delay before player.play() to ensure material is applied
Verified sphere scale inversion (-1, 1, 1)
Tested multiple video URLs (including raw, unlicensed MP4 files)
Confirmed network connectivity on device
Ruled out DRM/FairPlay issues by testing unprotected content
Environment Details
Device: Apple Vision Pro
visionOS Version: 26.2
Xcode Version: 26.2
macOS Version: Darwin 25.2.0
Hi!
I'm currently trying to render another XR scene in front of a RealityKit one.
Actually, I'm anchoring a plane to the head with a shader to display for left/right eye side-by-side images. By default, the camera has a near plane so I can directly draw at z=0.
Is there a way to change the camera near plane? Or maybe there is a better solution to overlay image/texture for left/right eyes?
Ideally, I would layer some kind of CompositorLayer on RealityKit, but that's sadly not possible from what I know.
Thanks in advance and have a good day!
Hi ,
I'm struggling with visionOS window management and need help with closing child windows programmatically.
App Structure
My app has a Main-Sub window hierarchy:
AWindow (Home/Main)
BWindow (Main feature window)
CWindow (Tool window - child of BWindow)
Navigation flow:
AWindow → BWindow (switch, 1 window on screen)
BWindow → CWindow (opens child, 2 windows on screen)
I want BWindow and CWindow to be separate movable windows (not sheet/popover) so users can position them independently in space.
The Problem
CWindow doesn't close when BWindow closes by tapping the X button below the app (next to the window bar)
User clicks X on BWindow → BWindow closes but CWindow remains
CWindow becomes orphaned on screen
Can close CWindow programmatically when switching BWindow back to AWindow
App launch issue
After closing both windows, CWindow is remembered as last window
Reopening app shows only CWindow instead of BWindow
User gets stuck in CWindow with no way back to BWindow
I've Tried Environment dismissWindow in cleanup but its not working.
// In BWindow.swift
.onDisappear {
if windowManager.isWindowOpen("cWindow") {
dismissWindow(id: "cWindow")
}
}
My App Structure Code Now
// in MyNameApp.swift
@main
struct MyNameApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup(id: "aWindow") {
AWindow()
}
WindowGroup(id: "bWindow") {
BWindow()
}
WindowGroup(id: "cWindow") {
CWindow()
}
}
}
// WindowStateManager.swift
class WindowStateManager: ObservableObject {
static let shared = WindowStateManager()
@Published private var openWindows: Set<String> = []
@Published private var windowDependencies: [String: String] = [:]
private init() {}

windowDependencies[id] = nil
}
func isWindowOpen(_ id: String) -> Bool {
let isOpen = openWindows.contains(id)
return isOpen
}
func markWindowAsOpen(_ id: String, parent: String? = nil) {
openWindows.insert(id)
if let parentId = parent {
windowDependencies[id] = parentId
}
}
func getParentWindow(of childId: String) -> String? {
let parent = windowDependencies[childId]
return parent
}
func getChildWindows(of parentId: String) -> [String] {

userInfo: ["windowId": child]
)
forceCloseChildWindows(of: child)
}
}
func hasMainWindowOpen() -> Bool {
let mainWindows = ["main", "bWindow"]
return mainWindows.contains { isWindowOpen($0) }
}
func cleanupOrphanWindows() {
for (child, parent) in windowDependencies {
if isWindowOpen(child) && !isWindowOpen(parent) {
NotificationCenter.default.post(
name: Notification.Name("ForceCloseWindow"),
object: nil,
userInfo: ["windowId": child]
)
markWindowAsClosed(child)
}
}
}
}
// BWindow.swift
struct BWindow: View {
@Environment(\.dismissWindow) private var dismissWindow
@ObservedObject private var windowManager = WindowStateManager.shared
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Open C Window") {
windowManager.setNextWindowParent("bWindow")
openWindow(id: "cWindow")
}
}
.onAppear {
windowManager.markWindowAsOpen("bWindow")
}
.onDisappear {
windowManager.markWindowAsClosed("bWindow")
windowManager.forceCloseChildWindows(of: "bWindow")
}
.onChange(of: scenePhase) { oldValue, newValue in
if newValue == .background || newValue == .inactive {
windowManager.forceCloseChildWindows(of: "bWindow")
}
}
}
}
// CWindow.swift
import SwiftUI
struct cWindow: View {
@ObservedObject private var windowManager = WindowStateManager.shared
@State private var shouldClose = false
var body: some View {
// Content
}
.onDisappear {
windowManager.markWindowAsClosed("cWindow")
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(
self,
name: Notification.Name("ForceCloseWindow"),
object: nil
)
}
.onChange(of: scenePhase) { oldValue, newValue in
if newValue == .background {
}
}
.onAppear {
let parent = windowManager.getAndClearNextWindowParent()
windowManager.markWindowAsOpen("cWindow", parent: parent)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
forName: Notification.Name("ForceCloseWindow"),
object: nil, queue: .main) { notification in
if let windowId = notification.userInfo?["windowId"] as? String, windowId == "cWindow" {
shouldClose = true
}
}
}
.onChange(of: shouldClose) { _, newValue in
if newValue {
dismissWindow()
}
}
}
The logs show everything executes correctly, but CWindow remains visible on screen.
Questions
Why doesn't dismissWindow(id:) work in cleanup scenarios?
Is there a proper way to create a window relationships like parent-child relationships in visionOS?
How can I ensure main windows open on app launch instead of tool windows?
What's the recommended pattern for dependent windows in visionOS?
Environment: Xcode 16.2, visionOS 2.0, SwiftUI
I want to display a huge image in RealityView in 3d space on Vision Pro. of course instead of one giant file I'm using a lot of big images.
to achieve this, I'm generating multiple planes exactly beside each others and put each image on them. although the planes are exactly beside each others but there is still a white gap between them.(image below)
**Does anybody know how to fix this issue? **

Here is my code in visionOS 2.3
NavigationSplitView {
List {
}
.navigationTitle("Passwords")
} detail: {
Text("Hello")
.navigationTitle("All")
}
The font size of "Passwords" and "All" are smaller than the ones in Passwords app.
If I long press on an element, the sidebar disappears and then a Done appears on the screen, but nothing else changes, so what are the Environments in Vision Pro's Simulator?
Hi everyone,
I'm creating an educational App that allows doing computational design in an immersive environment with the Vision Pro. The App is free and can be found here:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arcade-topology/id6742103633
The problem I have is that the mesh of voxels I currently create use ModelEntity and I recently read that this is horrible for scalability. I already start to see issues when I try to use thousands of voxels. I also read somewhere that I should then take advantage of GPUs and use metal to that end. I was wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial or article that discusses this. In essence, I need to create a 3D voxel mesh, and those voxels have to update their opacity within an iterative loop.
Thanks!

I am creating a vision pro app with a 3D model, it has a mesh hierarchy of head, hands, feet etc. I want the character to look towards the camera, but am not able to access head of character through sceneKit nor reality kit. when I try to print names of the child meshes, it only prints till the character, it does iterate through all the body parts. Can anyone help?
The initial startup of visionOS 26 after install is glacially slow.
Can we constrain or clamp translation with the new ManipulationComponent? For example, allow free movement within certain bounds.
Since using Quick Look exits you from both your app and Immersive Space. Is there a way to view immersive images within Immersive Space?
