My visionOS requires access to users' personal photos. The trigger mechanism is: when user firstly opens a FooView, a task attached to that FooView and calling let status = PHPhotoLibrary.authorizationStatus(for: .readWrite), if the status is .notDetermined, then calling PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .readWrite, handler: authCompletionHandler) to let visionOS pop out a window to request Photo access. However, the app crashes every time when user selects Limited Access and the system try to pop out a photo library picker. And btw, I have set Prevent limited photos access alert to Yes, but it shouldn't affect the behavior here I guess. There was a debugger message here: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Presentations are not permitted within volumetric window scenes.' However, the window this view belongs to is a .plain style window (though there were 3D object appearing in the other view of same windowgroup) This is my code snippet if this helps: checkAndUpdatePhotoAuthorization is just a wrapper of PHPhotoLibrary.authorizationStatus(for: .readWrite) private func checkAndUpdatePhotoAuthorization() -> PHAuthorizationStatus { let currentStatus = PHPhotoLibrary.authorizationStatus(for: .readWrite) switch currentStatus { case .authorized: print("Photo library access authorized.") isPhotoGalleryAuthorized = true isPhotoGalleryLimited = false isPhotoGalleryAccessRestricted = false isPhotoGalleryDetermined = true case .limited: print("Photo library access limited.") isPhotoGalleryLimited = true isPhotoGalleryAuthorized = false isPhotoGalleryAccessRestricted = false isPhotoGalleryDetermined = true case .notDetermined: isPhotoGalleryDetermined = false print("Photo library access not determined.") case .denied: print("Photo library access denied.") isPhotoGalleryAuthorized = false isPhotoGalleryLimited = false isPhotoGalleryAccessRestricted = false showSettingsAlert = true isPhotoGalleryDetermined = true case .restricted: print("Photo library access restricted.") isPhotoGalleryAuthorized = false isPhotoGalleryLimited = false isPhotoGalleryAccessRestricted = true showPhotoAuthExplainationAlert = true isPhotoGalleryDetermined = true @unknown default: print("Photo library Unknown authorization status.") isPhotoGalleryAuthorized = false isPhotoGalleryLimited = false isPhotoGalleryAccessRestricted = false isPhotoGalleryDetermined = true } return currentStatus } And then FooView attaches task to fire up checkAndUpdatePhotoAuthorization() var body: some View { EmptyView() } .task { try? await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(1.0)) let status = self.checkAndUpdatePhotoAuthorization() if status == .notDetermined { DispatchQueue.main.async { PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .readWrite, handler: authCompletionHandler) } } Another thing worth to mention is that SOMETIMES it won't crash when running on a debug build. But it crashes when it comes to TF. Any other idea? Big thanks in advance XCode version: 16.2 beta 3 VisionOS version: 2.2

Hi I'm trying to create a water shader using the shader graph in Reality Composer Pro, but quite a few of the features you would need for realistic water rendering appear to be missing. One big issue is the lack of a way to create refraction. We can easily control the transparency of the water by changing the opacity, but how can we distort what we see through the water? I can't find any obvious solution for that. In Unity, they provide a node called HD Scene Color which is basically the scene rendered to an offscreen buffer which you can apply to the water and then distort to get a refraction effect. I guess the Background Blur node could be used for something like this if we could turn off the blur and distort it, but there's no control for the blur and no control for the texture coordinates. Am I missing something? Any ideas are welcome :)

I’m currently using the RealityKit/ObjectCaptureSession API to develop my app, and I’ve noticed that Apple’s official Reality Composer app also uses the same API. However, both my app and the Reality Composer app crash if the device doesn’t have enough storage space (approximately 4 GB free). Here is the debug log I’m seeing: Insufficient storage: required 4000000000 Switch to error state. Got error = insufficientStorage(requiredBytes: 4000000000) fromState == toState so punting transition! from=disabled toState=disabled Punting transition since states match: disabled Got error starting session! insufficientStorage(requiredBytes: 4000000000) I would like to request: A fix for the crash in the official Reality Composer app. Guidance on how to properly handle this crash or error when using the ObjectCaptureSession API in my own app. Thank you!

I have Mac mini M4 with 16GB memory, the Xcode is 16.1, when I test my Vision Pro App with the Simulator, it is very slow and system shows the memory is under the high pressure. How do I run/test/debug the application on Vision Pro directly? Tried to add my Vision Pro to my developer account, it didn't work due to cannot find UDID, when I hook the USB to the battery, it only shows Battery device ID.

Platform: iOS18 Tech: RealityView Hi! I was wondering if RealityView now provides ways for their session to persist Anchor data in a world such that the anchor locations in one session can be saved and loaded in a another session that persists the exact same anchor positions. I know that ARWorldMap in ARKit does that, but I was not able to find a way to use it with RealityView. I think it's because RealityView has ARKit under its hood but does not expose the ARKit session info publicly to the client code. So I was wondering if there's a SwiftUI + RealityView approach that can help me to achieve a similar goal: Come back to the same location and see the object in exactly the same place. Thanks!

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?

Hey Everyone, Happy New Year! I wanted to see if you have seen this before. I have added an attachment to the RealityView as a child on an entity that has a Billboard component set on it. I wanted to create the effect that the attachment is offset by .5 meters from center and follows the device as you move around it. IT works great until you try click a button. The attachment moves with the billboard, but the collision box around the attachment is not following it. If I position myself perfectly it works. Video Example: https://youtu.be/4d9Vx7K8MmU // // ImmersiveView.swift // Billboard Attachment // // Created by Justin Leger on 1/3/25. // import SwiftUI import RealityKit import RealityKitContent struct ImmersiveView: View { var rootEntity = Entity() var body: some View { RealityView { content, attachments in // Add the initial RealityKit content let sphereEntity = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 0.1), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .red, roughness: 1, isMetallic: false)]) sphereEntity.position = [0.0, 1.0, -2.0] let controlsPivotEntity = Entity() controlsPivotEntity.components[BillboardComponent.self] = .init() // Extract the attachemnt entity and disable it before its used. if let controlsViewAttachmentEntity = attachments.entity(for: PlacedThingControls.attachmentId) { controlsViewAttachmentEntity.position.z = 0.5 controlsPivotEntity.addChild(controlsViewAttachmentEntity) sphereEntity.addChild(controlsPivotEntity) } content.add(sphereEntity) } attachments: { Attachment(id: PlacedThingControls.attachmentId) { PlacedThingControls() } } } } #Preview(immersionStyle: .mixed) { ImmersiveView() .environment(AppModel()) } struct PlacedThingControls: View { static let attachmentId = "placed-thing-3D-controls" var body: some View { VStack { HStack(spacing: 0) { Button { print("🗺️🗺️🗺️ Map selected pieces") } label: { Text("\(Image(systemName: "plus.square.dashed")) Manage Mesh Maps") .fontWeight(.semibold) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } .padding(.leading, 20) Spacer() Button(role: .destructive) { print("🗑️🗑️🗑️ Delete selected pieces") } label: { Label { Text("Delete") } icon: { Image(systemName: "trash") } .labelStyle(.iconOnly) } .padding(.trailing, 20) } .padding(.vertical) .frame(minWidth: 320, maxWidth: 480) } .glassBackgroundEffect() } }

Is this behaviour expected? For example, if I'm using let materials = [SimpleMaterial(color: .red, isMetallic: false)] occlusion works normally, but with let materials = [SimpleMaterial(color: .red.withAlphaComponent(0.5), isMetallic: false)] i can see my cube through real-world objects, like tables, columns, etc. I'm getting the same behaviour if using CustomMaterial from shader and applying customMaterial.blending = .opaque and customMaterial.blending = .transparent(opacity: ) respectively

When using RoomPlan to collect data and processing it with StructureBuilder, the app crashes. Crash thread: RoomScanCore.offlineFloorPlanGeneration How should I deal with this issue? I’ve already implemented crash capture, but no crash was logged—the app just crashes directly. RoomScanCore.offlineFloorPlanGeneration

I was watching the Developer videos, and there was mention that RealityView handles persistent world data differently and also automatically for us. I am having an issue finding the material I need to get up to speed on that. In ARKit, I was able to place a model with the world data and recall that .map data. It even stored a reference image for the scene to help match the world data. I'm looking for the information on how to implement and work with those same features with RealityView, as it seems to be better/automatically integrated? I need help being pointed in the right direction. Sample code would be amazing.

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…

Hey, I'm building an interior design app In Vision OS 2.0. I'm fetching the planes detected by ARKit and I then proceed to add them with an "OcclusionMaterial" to make sure my object are occluded accordingly. However, I'm facing two problems with this: The ground shadows are completely disabled as soon as an occlusion material is added, even if I inset the planes doing the occlusion. I've looked into this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/shadergraph/realitykit/shadow-receiving-occlusion-surface-(realitykit) but when I tried to use it, it behaved exactly as "OcclusionMaterial". The planes are also occluding all windows (mines and the system ones), which is a behavior I'd like to avoid. I only want to occluded the Entity I added. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks in advance

I want to render a 3d/stereoscopic video in an Apple Vision Pro window using RealityKit/RealityView. The video is a left-right stereo. The straight forward approach would be to spawn a quad, and give it a custom Shader Graph material, which has a CameraIndexSwitch. The CameraIndexSwitch chooses between the right texture vs the left texture. https://i.sstatic.net/XawqjNcg.png The issue I have here is that I have to extract the video frames from my AVSampleBufferVideoRenderer. This should work ok, but not if I'm playing FairPlay content. So, my question is, how to render stereo FairPlay videos in a SwiftUI RealityView?

I want a sentence custom hover effect, not a button. I want a hover effect when you look at one sentence out of many sentences. So I searched for reference videos https://youtu.be/DftRTx1oX6E , https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10110/ on apple youtube and visionOS documentation. But I haven't gotten anywhere near my wish feature yet. I respectfully request someone to help me. :)

Here is the code snippets. struct RealityViewTestView: View { @State private var texts: [String] = [] var body: some View { RealityView { content, attachments in } update: { content, attachments in for text in texts { if let textEntity = attachments.entity(for: text) { textEntity.position.x = Float.random(in: -0.1...0.1) content.add(textEntity) } } } attachments: { ForEach(texts, id: \.self) { text in Attachment(id: text) { Text(text) .padding() .glassBackgroundEffect() } } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button("Add") { texts.append(String(UUID().uuidString.prefix(6))) } } ToolbarItem { Button("Remove") { texts.remove(at: Int.random(in: 0..<texts.count)) } } } } } struct RealityViewTestView: View { @State private var texts: [String] = [] @State private var entities: [Entity] = [] var body: some View { RealityView { content, attachments in } update: { content, attachments in // for text in texts { // if let textEntity = attachments.entity(for: text) { // textEntity.position.x = Float.random(in: -0.1...0.1) // content.add(textEntity) // } // } for entity in entities { content.add(entity) } } attachments: { ForEach(texts, id: \.self) { text in Attachment(id: text) { Text(text) .padding() .glassBackgroundEffect() } } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button("Add") { //texts.append(String(UUID().uuidString.prefix(6))) let m = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 0.1), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .white, isMetallic: false)]) m.position.x = Float.random(in: -0.2...0.2) entities.append(m) } } ToolbarItem { Button("Remove") { //texts.remove(at: Int.random(in: 0..<texts.count)) entities.removeLast() } } } } } About the first code snippet, when I remove an element from the texts, why content can automatically remove the corresponding entity? And about the second code snippet, content do not automatically remove the corresponding entity. I am very curious.
