Hi, I'm looking to build something similar to the header blur in the App Store and Apple TV app settings. Does anyone know the best way to achieve this so that when there is nothing behind the header it looks the same as the rest of the view background but when content goes underneath it has a blur effect. I've seen .scrollEdgeEffect on IOS26 is there something similar for visionOS? Thanks!

Hi, after upgrading to 2.4.1 (from 1.0) my vision stucks on "Retrieving configuration" screen. Apple Store didn't support my case since it has been sold in USA and the product isn't still present in italian market. I don't have dev strap, how can I manage the issue? Thank you

I've encountered an unexpected crash with RoomPlan on iOS 16 devices. The odd part is the code is protected by an available check, since I'm using newer RoomPlan features. Xcode error dyld[40588]: Symbol not found: _$s8RoomPlan08CapturedA0V16USDExportOptionsV5modelAEvgZ I can repro using the Apple sample code. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/roomplan/create-a-3d-model-of-an-interior-room-by-guiding-the-user-through-an-ar-experience Modify RoomCaptureViewController.swift as follows. Remove try finalResults?.export(to: destinationURL, exportOptions: .parametric) Add if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { try finalResults?.export(to: destinationURL, exportOptions: .model) } else { try finalResults?.export(to: destinationURL, exportOptions: .parametric) } I would have expected this code to at least compile and run on older devices. When the app was targeting iOS 15, the available checks worked as expected and the app is able to launch properly.

According to the official documentation, the .blur(radius:) modifier could apply gaussian blur to a realityview. However, when applied directly to a RealityView, nothing inside it (neither 2D attachments nor 3D entities) appears to be blurred. Here’s the test code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Above the RealityView") .font(.title) RealityView { content, attachments in if let text = attachments.entity(for: "2dView") { text.position.y = 0.1 content.add(text) } let box = ModelEntity( mesh: .generateBox(size: 0.1), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .red, isMetallic: true)] ) content.add(box) } attachments: { Attachment(id: "2dView") { Text("Above the Box") .font(.title) } } .frame(width: 300, height: 300) .border(.blue) .blur(radius: 99) // Has no visual effect Text("Below the RealityView") .font(.subheadline) } .padding() } } My question: How can I make .blur(radius:) visually affect the content rendered in a RealityView? Can you provide a working example that .blur() to visually affect any part of a RealityView? Thanks!

Hello, There are odd artifacts (one looks like an image placeholder) appearing when dismissing an immersive space which is displaying an ImagePresentationComponent. Both artifacts look like widgets.. See below our simple code displaying the ImagePresentationComponent and the images of the odd artifacts that appear briefly when dismissing the immersive space. import OSLog import RealityKit import SwiftUI struct ImmersiveImageView: View { let logger = Logger(subsystem: AppConstant.SUBSYSTEM, category: "ImmersiveImageView") @Environment(AppModel.self) private var appModel var body: some View { RealityView { content in if let currentMedia = appModel.currentMedia, var imagePresentationComponent = currentMedia.imagePresentationComponent { let imagePresentationComponentEntity = Entity() switch currentMedia.type { case .iphoneSpatialMovie: logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) spatial3DImmersive display for \(String(describing: currentMedia))") imagePresentationComponent.desiredViewingMode = .spatial3DImmersive case .twoD: logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) spatial3DImmersive display for \(String(describing: currentMedia))") imagePresentationComponent.desiredViewingMode = .spatial3DImmersive case .visionProConvertedSpatialPhoto: logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) spatialStereoImmersive display for \(String(describing: currentMedia))") imagePresentationComponent.desiredViewingMode = .spatialStereoImmersive default : logger.error("\(#function) \(#line) Unsupported media type \(currentMedia.type)") assertionFailure("Unsupported media type \(currentMedia.type)") } imagePresentationComponentEntity.components.set(imagePresentationComponent) imagePresentationComponentEntity.position = AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition content.add(imagePresentationComponentEntity) } let toggleViewAttachmentComponent = ViewAttachmentComponent(rootView: ToggleImmersiveSpaceButton()) let toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity = Entity(components: toggleViewAttachmentComponent) toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity.position = SIMD3<Float>( AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition.x + 1, AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition.y, AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition.z ) toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity.scale = AppConstant.Scale.attachments content.add(toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity) } } }

I am considering adding finger pad haptics (Data flow for haptic feedback is directed from the AVP to the fingers, not vice versa). Simple piezos wired to a wrist connection holding the driver/battery. But I'm concerned it will impact the hand tracking. Any guidance regarding gloves and/or the size of any peripherals attached to fingers? Or, if anyone has another (inexpensive) low profile option on the market please LMK. Thanks

it looks like one week after accepting as a nearby other AVP device... it expires since we are providing our clients for a timeless app to walk inside archtiecture, it's a shame that not technical staff should connect every week 5 devices to work together is there any roundabout for this issue or straight to the wishlist ? thanks for the support !!

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?

How do I configure a Unity project for a fully immersive VR app on Apple Vision Pro using Metal Rendering, and add a simple pinch-to-teleport-where-looking feature? I've tried the available samples and docs, but they don't cover this clearly (to me). So far, I've reviewed Unity XR docs, Apple dev guides, and tutorials, but most emphasize spatial apps. Metal examples exist but don't include teleportation. Specifically: visionOS sample "XRI_SimpleRig" – Deploys to device/simulator, but no full immersion or teleport. XRI Toolkit sample "XR Origin Hands (XR Rig)" – Pinch gestures detect, but not linked to movement. visionOS "XR Plugin" sample "Metal Sample URP" – Metal setup works, but static scene without locomotion. I'm new in Unity XR development and would appreciate a simple, standalone scene or document focused only on the essentials for "teleport to gaze on pinch" in VR mode—no extra features. I do have some experience in unreal, world toolkit, cosmo, etc from the 90's and I'm ok with code. Please include steps for: Setting up immersive VR (disabling spatial defaults if needed). Integrating pinch detection with ray-based teleport. Any config changes or basic scripts.

当我进入混合空间时，出现一个模型，但模型后面有一个 windowGroup，无法完全查看。如果我想点击进入 mix 空间，我需要使用代码将 windowGroup 移动到另一个位置，而不是手动移动 ![]（“https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/0471ead0-4c74-43a7-9ecc-12e67e81cec6” “title=WechatIMG31.jpg;宽度=915;高度=777”）

Environment Xcode: 16.2 VisionOS SDK 2.4 Swift 6.1 Targets: Apple Vision Pro (immersive space) Frameworks: ARKit, RealityKit, SwiftUI What I’m Trying to Do I have a view-model class PlacementManager that holds two AR providers: private var worldTracking: WorldTrackingProvider private var planeDetection: PlaneDetectionProvider I want to dynamically replace these providers in a setEnvironment(_:) method (so I can save/clear a JSON scene and restart ARKit). What’s Happening If I declare them as : private let worldTracking = WorldTrackingProvider() private let planeDetection = PlaneDetectionProvider() I get compile-errors when I later do: self.worldTracking = newWorldTracking // Cannot assign to property: 'worldTracking' is a 'let' constant If I change them to un-initialized vars: private var worldTracking: WorldTrackingProvider private var planeDetection: PlaneDetectionProvider then in my init() I get: self used in property access 'worldTracking' before all stored properties are initialized Code snipet @Observable final class PlacementManager : ObservableObject { private var worldTracking: WorldTrackingProvider private var planeDetection: PlaneDetectionProvider // … other props … @MainActor init() { // error: self.worldTracking used before init… planeAnchorHandler = PlaneAnchorHandler(rootEntity: root) persistenceManager = PersistenceManager( worldTracking: worldTracking, rootEntity: root ) // … } @MainActor func setEnvironment(env: Environnement) async { let newWorldTracking = WorldTrackingProvider() let newPlaneDetection = PlaneDetectionProvider() try await appState!.arkitSession.run( [ newWorldTracking, newPlaneDetection ] ) self.worldTracking = newWorldTracking self.planeDetection = newPlaneDetection // … } } What I’ve Tried Giving them default values at declaration (= WorldTrackingProvider()) Initializing them at the top of init() before any use Passing the new providers into arkitSession.run(...) My Question What is the recommended Swift-style pattern to declare and reassign these ARKit provider properties so that: They’re fully initialized before use in init(), and I can swap them out later in setEnvironment(...) without compiler errors? Any pointers (or links to forum threads / docs) would be greatly appreciated!

Spatial photo in RealityView has a default corner radius. I made a parallel effect with spatial photos in ScrollView(like Spatial Gallery), but the corner radius disappeared on left and right spatial photos. I've tried .clipShape and .mask modifiers, but they did't work. How to clip or mask spatial photo with corner radius effect?

Hi. I am mixing content destined for Vision Pro. Locked to video. I have the AAX installer and the ASAF video player demonstrated in the quicktimes is nit included in the install package for pro tools. Would it be possible to post a link ?

I am building a 360 photo viewer in VisionOS 26. Which allows the user to choose a 2 by 1 jpg and then renders it with a sphere mesh entity. And I use: TextureResource(contentsOf: url, options: options). I noticed two situations here in terms of mipmaps options. When setting "mipmapsMode: .none": The graphic quality within the "gaze area" looks sharp and clear The two poles (top and bottom) are perfectly rendered Massive shimmer around the "gaze area" When setting "mipmapsMode: .allocateAndGenerateAll": The graphic looks slightly blurrier than in ".none" within the "gaze area" The two poles are very blurry and hard to recognize the texture Much less shimmer around the "gaze area" My question would be: Is there a way to have the perfect graphic quality in ".none" without the massive shimmer? Thank you! Screenshots: mipmapsMode: .none mipmapsMode: .allocateAndGenerateAll

Can we constrain or clamp translation with the new ManipulationComponent? For example, allow free movement within certain bounds.

In Vision OS app, I have two types of windows: Main App Window – This is the default window that launches when the app starts. It displays the video listings and other primary content. Immersive Space Window – This opens only when a user starts streaming or playing a video. Issue: When entering the immersive space, the main app window remains visible in front of it unless manually closed. To avoid this, I currently close the main window when transitioning to immersive space and reopen it when exiting from immersive space. However, this causes the app to restart instead of resuming from its previous state. Desired Behavior: I want the main app window to retain its state and seamlessly resume from where it was before entering immersive mode, rather than restarting. Attempts & Challenges: Tried managing opacity, visibility but none worked as expected. Couldn’t find a way to push the main window to the background while bringing the immersive space to the foreground. Looking for a solution to keep the main window’s state intact while transitioning between immersive and normal modes.

iOS currently restricts background Bluetooth advertising and scanning in order to preserve battery life and protect user privacy. While these restrictions serve important purposes, they also limit legitimate use cases where users have explicitly opted in to proximity-based experiences. The core challenge is that modern social applications need a way to detect when users are physically present at the same location or event without requiring every participant to keep their app in the foreground. Under the current system, background BLE advertising is heavily throttled and can only transmit a limited payload, background scanning intervals are sparse and unpredictable, peer-to-peer proximity detection cannot be maintained reliably when apps are in the background, and Background App Refresh is non-deterministic, making any kind of time-based proximity validation impossible. A proposed enhancement would be to introduce an “Enhanced Proximity Permission.” This would allow developers to enable reliable background BLE advertising and scanning for declared time windows, such as a maximum of eight hours. It would also allow devices running the same app to detect each other’s proximity using ephemeral, rotating identifiers that preserve privacy, with clear user consent and prominent indicators whenever the feature is active. Unlocking this capability would open up new categories of applications. Live events could offer automatic attendance tracking at concerts, conferences, or sports venues. Retail environments could support opt-in foot traffic analysis and dwell-time insights. Social apps could allow users to find friends at festivals, campuses, or other large venues. Safety applications could extend to crowd density monitoring and contact tracing beyond COVID-era needs. Gaming could offer real-world multiplayer experiences based on physical proximity, and transportation providers could verify rideshare pickups or measure public transit flows automatically. Privacy safeguards would remain central. Permissions would be time-boxed and expire after an event or session. A mandatory visual indicator would be displayed whenever proximity tracking is active. A user-facing dashboard would show all apps granted enhanced proximity access. Permissions would automatically be revoked after a period of non-use, and only ephemeral tokens not permanent identifiers would be broadcast. The industry impact would be significant. With this enhancement, iOS could power the next generation of location-aware social platforms while maintaining Apple’s leadership in privacy through explicit user control and transparency. Current alternatives, such as requiring users to keep apps in the foreground or deploying dedicated hardware beacons, produce poor user experiences and constrain innovation in spatial computing and social applications. Can anyone from Apple consider this change? Having to buy iBeacons is brutal and means slower adoption. Please reconsider this for users who opt in.

I want to display a model image in the windowGroup window. This image is not unique. To display the model image, how should I convert it into an image

Hi team I don't know from this error has popped up any suggestions please Thanks Zippy Games

Hi, When closing a WindowGroup, I want to show a prompt, and only dismiss the window when the user confirms. How to do it? WindowGroup(id: "A") { ContentView() }
