I've submitted my first AR app for iPhone and iPad to iTunes Connect. After sending a binary to iTunes Connect, I've received the following warning message. The app contains the following UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities values, which aren’t supported in visionOS: [arkit]. No. 1, my app doesn't support visionOS. No. 2, I don't have the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities dictionary in info.plist. Why am I receiving this warning? One article related to this issue that I've read suggests that I remove the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities dictionary. Well, I don't have it in my plist. What can I do with this warning message? Thanks.

Apple's WWDC video What’s new for the spatial web says the spatial-backdrop markup may change as it goes through the standards process (at 27:26 mark). I have started adding spatial-backdrops to web pages, so I want to keep an eye out for status updates by Apple and follow the standards progress. Is there any place I can keep an eye on this standards process? Has Apple announced any feature updates or news on spatial-backdrops?

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.

How do I convert a blend shape/morphed 3D lip-synced model into a usdz that will play in AR on an iPhone?

Is there any size guidance for the new WidgetKit integration on visionOS? The Widget HIG provides dimensions for all the widget size classes on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS, but has not been updated for visionOS. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/widgets My potential widget use case is image based, so I'm looking to better understand the optimal size, resolution etc I would need, particularly for the new visionOS specific extra large widget size.

Hello Community, I’m currently working with the sample code “CapturingDepthUsingTheLiDARCamera” and using it to capture the depth map of an image taken with the iPhone 14 Pro. From this depth map, I generate a point cloud using the intrinsic camera parameters. I've noticed that objects not facing the camera directly appear distorted in the resulting point cloud. For example: An object with surfaces that are perpendicular to each other appears with a sharper angle in the point cloud — around 60° instead of 90°. My question is: Is this due to the general accuracy limitations of the LiDAR sensor? Or could it be related to the sample code? To obtain the depth map, I’m using: AVCapturePhoto.depthData.converting(toDepthDataType: kCVPixelFormatType_DepthFloat32) Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, We have been experimenting with VisionOS and we are in need to query the field of view values for each eye of the device. We are currently using drawable.views[0].tangents and drawable.views[1].tangents respectively which is labeled as 'Depreceated' . We wonder is there an alternative function for obrtaining FOVs since we had no luck to calcuate them out of the projection matrix we obtain from drawables. Thanks

Hi Apple Team, I’m working on a human portrait scanning application using PhotogrammetrySession, and I’ve been very impressed by the results. Thank you for building such a powerful and accessible photogrammetry solution into macOS! I do, however, have a question regarding mesh detail limitations on different Mac hardware configurations. When using PhotogrammetrySession.Request.Detail.custom and trying to set maximumPolygonCount = 1000000, I see the following log message: Clamped max poly count: 1000000 to device limit. 250000 is used. This is on an M1 Max with 32 GB RAM. I’m aware that PhotogrammetrySession.limits can report values like maximumInputImageDimension and maximumNumberOfInputImages, but I haven’t found documentation on how the maximumPolygonCount is determined, and what hardware specs influence it. Is it tied more to: • GPU performance (e.g. neural/graphics cores)? • CPU architecture? • Memory size or bandwidth? • Or is it fixed per SoC generation? I’d love to understand what kind of hardware upgrades (e.g. moving to M4 Pro or increasing RAM) could allow me to increase mesh complexity and generate more detailed models. Any insights would be greatly appreciated—and if this is covered in upcoming WWDC sessions or documentation, I’d be happy to tune in. Thanks in advance! KitCheng

Hello, We've been working for months now on an App for the Vision Pro. (it's been great btw!) We already have an App in the App Store for iOS, and have been migrating our platform from the Microsoft Hololens 2 to the AVP: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NPPP031VHD1 We require the Main Camera access and already have gotten the Enterprise.license for development purposes. Unfortunately, we cannot publish our Business App (which uses an Enterprise API) under the same Name/Bundle ID as our iOS App because it would conflict with our current Distribution Method. We arrived at the conclusion that we need a new Enterprise.license under a different Bundle ID to create a new App for the Business Store. Has anyone been in the same boat as us, and tried to publish to the Business Store while already having an App in the Public App Store under the same name? We applied to get another license for distribution under another name (with "Pro" at the end), but it's been stuck in limbo for over a month now (probably because the new bundle ID doesn't have any track record). Anyhow, thanks for any help, we're open to suggestions as to how to proceed!

I'm getting the following error message when compiling the Apple provided sample, Spaceship game for the Apple Visio Pro. I've already tried deleting the derived data resetting the package cache and restarting Xcode but still getting the following error: [xrsimulator] Exception thrown during compile: Cannot get rkassets content for path /Users/myoungkang/Downloads/CreatingASpaceshipGame/Packages/Studio/Sources/Studio/Studio.rkassets because 'The file “Studio.rkassets” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it.' error: Tool exited with code 1

I'm developing an AR application for the iPad pro where the primary purpose is to overlay 3D design data on top of production parts. For alignment, we are using Vuforia (model targets) which work really well locally. The further the device is moved from the point of original alignment, we are seeing quite a bit of overlay error (drift?). My primary questions are: Are there any best practices to stabilize frame-to-frame tracking when using model targets? We are noticing drift as soon as the device starts moving (the drift appears to occur specifically in the direction the device is moving). After about 15 feet of movement, we are observing about 3-6" of overlay error These use cases can be over 100 feet long. In order to reset drift, we understand we'll need multiple alignment points (model targets) along the way. Is there a standard/best practice for this? Ex: have a new alignment point every x-feet? We are using plane anchors to set our alignment. Typically we attach it to the nearest plane; however, the anchor point can be very far away (the origin of the model, which often is not near where the virtual content is). Could this be the issue? The anchor is far from the plane that we attach it too. Would moving the anchor closer to the plane we attach it too improve stability? After a few steps, the plane we originally attach too will be out of FoV anyway. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm developing a visionOS application for Apple Vision Pro that aims to scan unknown physical objects, capture their 3D data (such as meshes or point clouds), and export them as 3D models. Ideally, I'd also like to visualize these reconstructions in real-time within the headset. This functionality is similar to what's available in Reality Composer on iPad and iPhone, but I'm seeking to implement it natively on Vision Pro. I've reviewed the visionOS documentation but haven't found clear guidance on accessing LiDAR depth data or performing scene reconstruction. Specifically, I'm interested in: 1.Accessing LiDAR or depth data from Vision Pro's sensors. 2.Utilizing ARKit's scene reconstruction capabilities on visionOS. 3.Exporting captured 3D data as models (e.g., USDZ or OBJ formats). Are there APIs or frameworks in visionOS that support these features?

Hi everyone, I am wondering under which settings the camera(s) were set by the time they were calibrated. For instance, one aspect that is easy to find is the reference resolution of the images taken when calibrating the intrinsics, this is by retrieving intrinsicMatrixReferenceDimensions. Making sure that the principal point is referenced to the by the time resolution used when the calibration was ongoing. However, recently I saw that there are focusing modes that potentially displace the lens' physical position. Settings like: AutoFocusRangeRestriction: none, near, far setFocusModeLocked: Locks the lens position at the specified value, and sets the focus mode to a locked state. My concern lies the impact this focusing lens displacements can have on the intrinsic matrix parameters, like these parameters no longer describe the camera since the lens position has changed. In simple words, what is the focus 'mode'/'range' the cameras were set when calibrating them for intrnisics?

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 am allowing users to go through and capture different rooms, and add a custom label to that room. Is there a way to store data about this in the captured room so that it persists into the final merge? As it is now, My users mark all their merges with custom labels, but after merging there is no way to remember which room is which in the merging process so they have to go through and manually add the labels back. For larger floor plans this is not ideal.

I'm using Unity 2022.3.56f, with Apple VisionOS App Mode set to 'Virtual Reality - Fully Immersive Space'. It seems that the render resolution of my game in the Apple Vision Pro when I build is well below the native resolution of the AVP displays. I can't see a setting in XR Plug-in Management Apple visionOS options, or in Quality settings, to increase the render resolutions. Is this possible? I tried setting: UnityEngine.XR.XRSettings.eyeTextureResolutionScale= 2.0f For example, but this doesn't seem to do anything to the render resolution in the build.

I have an entity that was created using Mixamo, and it has an animation. after the animation completes the mesh of the robot is not where the entity is positioned. I want to do something like when the animation finishes, I set the root entity's transform to the mesh's transform. There are no transformations applied to any of the children of this root of the model, which means that the transformations are applied to the skeleton due the the playing of animations. Is there a way where I can apply the final position of the root of the skeleton to the root entity to make sure to position the entity where the animation has ended just before the next animation plays?

Hi guys, In visionOS, when using a ZStack decorated with .glassBackgroundEffect(), you can see the 3D glass background from the front, but when viewed from the side, the view appears to have no thickness. However, I noticed that in an app built by Apple, when viewing a glass background view from the side, it appears to have thickness. I tried adding .frame(depth:) to a glass background view, but it appears as two separate layers spaced by the depth value. My question is: Is there a view modifier that adds visual thickness to a glass background view, as shown in the picture? Or, if not, how should I write a custom view modifier to achieve this effect? Thanks!

Hi, I would like to train Gaussian splats from my object captures. So I need a pointcloud and camera positions together with the original photos taken to train GS In an app like postShot. I could do this with Reality Capture, which supports exporting pointclouds and camera position but it does not do well with turntable photogrammetry. While the Apple object capture API does produce really solid results with turntable images. so my question is, can I export camera data from my object captures to use in another application? Or is there may be a plan to at this feature in the future? It would be really helpful in creating ultra realistic, 3-D objects in Gaussian splat format. Thanks for any isuggestions…

We use Unity6+VisonOS2.2 to develop an MR Application. App Mode: RealityKit with PolySpatial, In the actual test, we found that when my moving position is more than 80~100 meters away from the starting position of the application, my current position will be reset to Vector.zero, which will cause my application experience to be very bad. Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Is there a solution?
