Hello, I'm working on a visionOS project that uses Reality Composer Pro, and we are managing our project files with Git. We've noticed that simply opening and closing the Reality Composer Pro application consistently generates changes in the following files, even when no explicit modifications have been made by the developer: {ProjectName}/Packages/RealityKitContent/Package.realitycomposerpro/PluginData/*******/ShaderGraphEditorPluginID/ShaderGraphEditorPluginID {ProjectName}/Packages/RealityKitContent/Package.realitycomposerpro/WorkspaceData/SceneMetadataList.json Could you please clarify the purpose of these files? Why do they appear as modified when no direct changes are made from our end? More importantly, is it safe to add these files to our .gitignore to prevent them from being tracked by Git? We are concerned that ignoring these files might lead to unexpected issues or inconsistencies when other team members pull the latest changes, especially if these files contain critical project metadata or state that needs to be synchronized. Any insights or recommended best practices for managing Reality Composer Pro projects with Git would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

If I correctly understand, a new Enterprise API has been introduced In visionOS 26 allowing to fix windows to the user frame of reference, implementing a something like an "head up display", with the window tracking the user movements. Is this API only available to enterprise applications, and if so is there a plan to make it available for every kind of app?

Hi folks, I’m new to Vision Pro stack, still trying to learn all the nuances. Here is a problem I can’t seem to find an answer. I placed entity A( a small .02 radius sphere) inside entity B( size:.1 box). Both entities have HoverEffectComponent, and both inputcomponent is set to .direct. Entity A is NOT a child of Entity B. When I direct touch Entity B, I noticed that Entity A’s hover effect is fired as well. This only happens if Entity A‘s position is inside Entity B. The gesture that is only targeted at Entity A doesn’t work either. I double checked Entity A collider which sits inside entity B collider, my direct touch shouldn’t have trigger its hove effect. Having one collider inside another seems to produce unpredictable behavior? Thanks in advance 🙏🙏🙏 Context: I’m trying to create an invisible bound around Entity A, so when my hand approaches the bound to grab Entity A, a nice spotlight hover effect would fire first on the bound before hand reaching entity A.

This modifier in visionOS 2.5 works perfectly with LazyVgrid inside a Stack in ScrollView: .hoverEffect { effect, isActive, _ in effect.scaleEffect(isActive ? 1.1 : 1.0) But the grid does not scroll in visionOS 26 beta 1 unless the scaleEffect is commented out. FB17941468

my coworkers and i are guessing at what data defines an anchor. i tried searching but struggled to find anything helpful. our best guess was a combination Triangular Irregular Networks (TIN), gps, magnetic compass direction and maybe elevation sensors. is this documented anywhere? if not, can a definition or description be provided?

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!

How do I obtain the device's camera permissions when developing camera apps?

Hello, I'm unable to activate a timeline in my application through an OnTap, OnAddedToScene or OnNotification. In RCP I can test and play the timelines easily. When running in the simulator or on device the timelines simply do not run, regardless of the method through which I try to call the API. I have two questions: How can I check that my timelines are in my RCP project that's loaded into the scene? I don't see timelines in the entity hierarchy when I debug in RealityKit Debugger Is Behaviors a component I can manually set at runtime? I can very clearly see the behaviors component attached to my entity in RCP, but when running this code: .gesture( TapGesture() .targetedToAnyEntity() .onEnded { value in if value.entity.applyTapForBehaviors() { print("Success!") } else { print("Failure.") } } ) It prints "Failure." every time indicating to me that the entity does not have a Behavior attached to it (whether that's a component or however else the Behavior is associated with the entity) I also have not had success using the Notification system or even the OnAddedToScene behavior trigger which should theoretically work if a behavior is attached to the entity which the tap experiment indicates it's not. For context this is my notification trigger code: private let notificationTrigger = NotificationCenter.default .publisher(for: Notification.Name("RealityKit.NotificationTrigger")) @Environment(\.realityKitScene) var scene Attachment(id: "home") { Button { NotificationCenter.default.post( name: NSNotification.Name("RealityKit.NotificationTrigger"), object: nil, userInfo: [ "RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.Scene": scene, "RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.Identifier": "test" ] ) } label: { Text("Test") } .padding(20) .glassBackgroundEffect() } .onReceive(notificationTrigger) { _ in print("test notification received") I am receiving "test notification received" print statements as well. I'm using Xcode 16.0 with VisionOS 2.0 on MacOS 15.3.1

Hi I am trying to implement something simple as people can share their Spatial Photos with others (just like this post). I encountered the same issue with him, but his answer doesn't help me out here. Briefly speaking, I am using CGImgaeSoruce to extract paired leftImage and rightImage from one fetched spatial photo let photos = PHAsset.fetchAssets(with: .image, options: nil) // enumerating photos .... if asset.mediaSubtypes.contains(PHAssetMediaSubtype.spatialMedia) { spatialAsset = asset } // other code show below I can fetch left and right images from native Spatial Photo (taken by Apple Vision Pro or iPhone 15+), but it didn't work on generated spatial photo (2D -> 3D feat in Photos). // imageCount is 1 when it comes to generated spatial photo let imageCount = CGImageSourceGetCount(source) I searched over the net and someone says the generated version is having a depth image instead of left/right pair. But still I cannot extract any depth image from imageSource. The full code below, the imagePair extraction will stop at "no groups found": func extractPairedImage(phAsset: PHAsset, completion: @escaping (StereoImagePair?) -> Void) { let options = PHImageRequestOptions() options.isNetworkAccessAllowed = true options.deliveryMode = .highQualityFormat options.resizeMode = .none options.version = .original return PHImageManager.default().requestImageDataAndOrientation(for: phAsset, options: options) { imageData, _, _, _ in guard let imageData, let imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(imageData as CFData, nil) else { completion(nil) return } let stereoImagePair = stereoImagePair(from: imageSource) completion(stereoImagePair) } } } func stereoImagePair(from source: CGImageSource) -> StereoImagePair? { guard let properties = CGImageSourceCopyProperties(source, nil) as? [CFString: Any] else { return nil } let imageCount = CGImageSourceGetCount(source) print(String(format: "%d images found", imageCount)) guard let groups = properties[kCGImagePropertyGroups] as? [[CFString: Any]] else { /// function returns here print("no groups found") return nil } guard let stereoGroup = groups.first(where: { let groupType = $0[kCGImagePropertyGroupType] as! CFString return groupType == kCGImagePropertyGroupTypeStereoPair }) else { return nil } guard let leftIndex = stereoGroup[kCGImagePropertyGroupImageIndexLeft] as? Int, let rightIndex = stereoGroup[kCGImagePropertyGroupImageIndexRight] as? Int, let leftImage = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, leftIndex, nil), let rightImage = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, rightIndex, nil), let leftProperties = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(source, leftIndex, nil), let rightProperties = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(source, rightIndex, nil) else { return nil } return (leftImage, rightImage, self.identifier) } Any suggestion? Thanks visionOS 2.4

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

I am trying to run widgets on visionOS 26. Specifically I am trying to pin them to the simulator room's walls, however I am unable to do so. Is this a limitation with the visionOS simulator right now, or am I missing a trick here?

I found some snapshot API in developer documents, like blows: RealityKit / Views and attachments / ARView / /snapshot(saveToHDR:completion:) SceneKit / SCNView / snapshot() Is there a similar API in visionOS？and if not, how can I implement snapshot for realityview and usdz?

Is it possible to use a local wifi router connecting Vision Pro and Mac for developing? I tried from Unity and Xcode. From Unity, the host app wouldn't open without WIFI (internet connection) From Xcode, I can see the Vision Pro paired, but while try to run there's no device listed. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot, /Ruiying

Hi, I've encountered a thread where an Apple engineer points out that there are 2 possible ways to anchor scenePhase, either App or View implementation: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/757429 This thread also links to documentation which states If you read the phase from within a custom Scene instance, the value similarly reflects an aggregation of all the scenes that make up the custom scene: This doesn't seem to be the case on visionOS 2, I tried the following code starting from an empty app template: import SwiftUI @main struct SceneTestApp: App { var body: some Scene { MyScene() WindowGroup(id: "extra") { Text("Extra window") } } } struct MyScene: Scene { @Environment(\.scenePhase) private var scenePhase @Environment(\.openWindow) private var openWindow var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .onAppear { openWindow(id: "extra") } } .onChange(of: scenePhase) { oldValue, newValue in print("scenePhase changed") } } } The result was that I didn't get onChange callback if I only closed the extra window, the callback only came after I closed both windows and the whole app was suspended. Is this expected behavior?

I am using RealityKit's ObjectCaptureSession API to capture objects, presenting the process with ObjectCaptureView. During the object capture session, there is default background audio that plays automatically. I noticed this same audio behavior in Apple's official Composer app, which seems to use the same API. I'd like to disable this audio in my app, but I have not been able to find any API or configuration option to do so. However, the audio persists, and I cannot find a way to turn it off. Is there an official method or workaround to disable this default audio in the ObjectCaptureSession API? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey there, I am working on an app that displays environmental data using PNG color channels to represent data ranges, which gets overlayed on a map. The sampled values aren't what I'm expecting though... for example an RGB value of 0x7f0000 (R = 0.5, G = 0, B = 0) would be seen as 0.21, 0, 0 in the shader. This basically makes it unusable if I'm trying to show scientific data... I'm half wondering if I am completely misunderstanding how sampling works in RealityKit / RealityComposerPro. Anybody have any idea why it works like this? Actual result (chart labels added in photoshop): Expected: Red > 0.1 Shader Graph

Is there a suitable UTType type to satisfy the need to pick up only SpatialVideo in UIDocumentPickerViewController? I already know that PHPickerFilter in PHPickerViewController can do this, but not in UIDocumentPickerViewController. Our app needs to adapt both of these ways to pick spatial videos So is there anything that I can try in UIDocumentPickerViewController to fulfill such picker functionality?

Is it possible to create a button in my app that will turn on the spatial personas for the user? Currently the only way I know of turning on spatial personas is by selecting the cube icon in the FaceTime window which is quite clunky for people unfamiliar with the Vision Pro's UI. Any help would be appreciated.
