I have been trying to run an open source Windows executable that I would like to help porting to macOS using the Game Porting Toolkit but I stumbled on an issue quite early in the application lifecycle. It looks like the funtion GetThreadDpiHostingBehavior is missing in USER32.dll Has anyone any idea how to solve that? During the startup, it fails with the following error: TiXL crashed. We're really sorry. The last backup was saved Unknown time to... C:\users\crossover\AppData\Roaming\TiXL\Backup Please refer to Help > Using Backups on what to do next.

Hi, I’m testing Unity’s Spaceship HDRP demo on iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPad Pro M4 (iOS 26.1). Everything renders correctly, and my custom MetalFX Spatial plugin initializes successfully — it briefly reports active scaling (e.g. 1434×660 → 2868×1320 at 50% scaling), then reverts to native rendering a few frames later. Setup: Xcode 16.1 (targeting iOS 18) Unity 2022.3.62f3 (HDRP) Metal backend Dynamic Resolution enabled in HDRP assets and cameras Relevant Xcode console excerpt: [MetalFXPlugin] MetalFX_Enable(True) called. [SpaceshipOptions] MetalFX enabled with HDRP dynamic resolution integration. [SpaceshipOptions] Disabled TAA for MetalFX Spatial. [SpaceshipOptions] Created runtime RenderTexture: 1434x660 [MetalFX] Spatial scaler created (1434x660 → 2868x1320). [MetalFX] Processed frame with scaler. [MetalFXPlugin] Sent RenderTexture (1434x660) to MetalFX. Output target 2868x1320. [SpaceshipOptions] MetalFX target set: 1434x660 [SpaceshipOptions] Camera targetTexture cleared after MetalFX handoff. It looks like HDRP clears the camera’s target texture right after MetalFX submits the frame, which causes it to revert to native rendering. Is there a recommended way to persist or rebind the MetalFX output texture when using HDRP on iOS? Unity doesn’t appear to support MetalFX in the Editor either: Thanks!

In the process of using ARKit's image tracking, we found that different images have significant differences in recognizability. How can we judge the quality of this image in ARKit's image tracking for this situation?

Hi Looking at the documentation for screenSpaceAmbientOcclusionIntensity, I noticed that it says this is supported on visionOS 1.0+: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/scenekit/scncamera/screenspaceambientocclusionintensity Could someone enlighten me as to how that would work? As far as I know, we don't use an SCNCamera on visionOS. So, what's the idea here? Can we activate SSAO on visionOS?

I want to use reality to create a custom material that can use my own shader and support Mesh instancing (for rendering 3D Gaussian splating), but I found that CustomMaterial does not support VisionOS. Is there any other interface that can achieve my needs? Where can I find examples?

The title is self-exploratory. I wasn't able to find the CAMetalDisplayLink on the most recent metal-cpp release (metal-cpp_macOS15_iOS18-beta). Are there any plans to include it in the next release?

Hello, Could someone post code that shows how to implement GCVirtualController to move a box around the screen? I've been poking around with GCVirtualController and gotten as far as having the D-pad and A B buttons appear on the display. But how do I make it do anything?

I'm running into a persistent visual issue while deploying a floral corridor scene to Apple Vision Pro using Unity 6.0 with URP and Metal. The issue only appears on the Vision Pro device — everything looks fine in the Unity Editor. Issue Description When the frame rate drops to around 60–70 FPS, noticeable distortion artifacts appear around the edges of foliage models. It seems like the background meshes (behind the plants) get warped and leak through the edges of the foliage. Although this is most visible around the leaves, even solid objects like standard URP wall or box models show distorted edges when the issue occurs. All the foliage uses Opaque or Alpha Clipping materials. Things I've Tried Changing the foliage materials to Transparent mode —distortion around edges disappears, but using Transparent for a large number of foliage assets is not ideal for performance or sorting complexity. Reducing the number of foliage objects — with only a few plants in the scene and the frame rate staying around 100 FPS, the distortion disappears. However, this isn’t a practical solution for a full environment. Possible Cause? I came across this note in the Unity documentation: "Ensure depth-buffer for each pixel is non-zero - on visionOS, the depth buffer is used for reprojection. To ensure visual effects like skyboxes and shaders are displayed beautifully, ensure that some value is written to the depth for each pixel." Could this be related to the issue? Is it possible that Alpha Clipping with low pixel coverage leads to some pixels not writing to the depth buffer, which then causes problems during Vision Pro’s reprojection or foveated rendering? However, even when I disable Alpha Clipping entirely, the distortion issue still persists, so it may not be solely caused by clipping itself. Project Setup Unity 6.0 (URP) Depth Texture: Enable Using Metal as the graphics backend Running on real Vision Pro hardware (not simulator) Any advice on how to avoid these distortion issues on Vision Pro would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all im having a variety of issues with gamekit matchmaking. On the simulator the matchmaking ui pops up and I can click Quick Match, then immediately "Failed to find Players" this is the same with a real Apple ID and a sandbox account. If I use real devices the app at least discovers a match, but then the match none of the delegate methods for the match ever get called and the logs are filled with socket not connected and various errors. My questions are: Should match making via quick match work in the simulator, I have seen tutorial videos etc of this working, but I can't seem to get it to work. How do people debug issues with GameCenter / Gamekit to find out why its not able to connect? Many thanks in advance

Hello I am trying to get thread group memory access in fragment shader. In essence, I would like to have all the fragments in a tile to bitwiseOR some value. My idea was to use simd_or across the SIMD group, then make each SIMD group thread 0 to atomic or the value into thread group memory. Finally very first thread of the tile would be tasked with writing the value down to texture with write access. Now, I can allocate the thread group memory argument to the fragment function all right. MTLRenderEncoder has setThreadgroupMemoryLength call, which I am using the following way [renderEncoder setThreagroupMemoryLength: 16 offset: 0 atIndex:0] Unfortunately, all I am getting is the following error (runtime assertion) -[MTLDebugRenderCommandEncoder setThreadgroupMemoryLength:offset:atIndex:]:3487: failed assertion Set Threadgroup Memory Length Validation offset + length(16) must be <= threadgroupMemoryLength(0).` What I am doing wrong? How I can get thread group memory in the fragment shader? I know I could use tile shading and compute function but the problem is that here I really like to use fragment stuff. Will be grateful for help.

Hello, I created a new project with the provided template for Immersive Environments. Straight out of box I build to both the Simulator and to Vision Pro and the provided Environment looks like this. What's interesting is that in Reality Composer Pro, it looks correct so how do I achieve the same look? Thank you in advance!

I play this game called Sonic Forces: Speed Battle that's available in the app store and I completed a quest outside of the app on this site called TapResearch for some rewards as I've done before and has worked, but after this one time I can no longer enter back into the game without crashing immediately. I tried deleting and reinstalling but nothing. I even tried signing into a different account but that didn't work either. So then I tried to make a new game center account to try and see if it works, and it did, though all my progress has been restarted. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi all, I’m running into an issue when trying to reconstruct a 3D model using PhotogrammetrySession on macOS from a set of images captured via the iOS Object Capture sample app, specifically in Area mode. When I attempt to create the model from these images (using the raw Images/ folder exported directly from the capture session), I get the following errors: ERROR cv3dapi.pg: Internal error codes (2): 4011 4012 WARN cv3dapi.pg: Internal warning codes (1): 4507 Output error with code = -15 requestError: CoreOC.PhotogrammetrySession.Error.processError I use the "Images" directory directly exported from Object Capture with my iphone 12 pro max (has lidar) set to "area mode" in the object capture app here is an example heic image metadata from the sequence. heif-info Images/00044.869568833.HEIC MIME type: image/heic main brand: heic compatible brands: mif1, MiHE, MiPr, miaf, MiHB, heic image: 3024x4032 (id=49), primary tiles: 6x8, tile size: 512x512 colorspace: YCbCr, 4:2:0 bit depth: 8 thumbnail: 240x320 color profile: nclx alpha channel: no depth channel: yes size: 192x256 bits per pixel: 8 z-near: 1.173828 z-far: 2.552734 d-min: undefined d-max: undefined representation: uniform Z metadata: Exif: 960 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#CameraTrackingState: 4 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#CameraCalibrationData: 1015 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#ObjectTransform: 48 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#ObjectBoundingBox: 48 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#RawFeaturePoints: 832 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#PointCloudData: 23984 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#BundleVersion: 5 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#SegmentID: 4 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2024:ObjectCapture#SessionUUID: 36 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2024:ObjectCapture#CaptureMode: 4 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#Feedback: 4 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#WideToDepthCameraTransform: 48 bytes uri /tag:apple.com,2023:ObjectCapture#TemporalDepthPointClouds: 864026 bytes transformations: angle (ccw): 270 region annotations: none properties: camera intrinsic matrix: focal length: 2813.695557; 2813.695557 principal point: 1522.338502; 2002.843018 skew: 0.000000 camera extrinsic matrix: rotation matrix: -0.695 0.344 -0.632 0.007 -0.875 -0.483 -0.719 -0.340 0.606 Questions: • What do internal error codes 4011 and 4012 refer to? • Is there something specific about Area mode captures that require preprocessing before they’re compatible with PhotogrammetrySession? • Has anyone successfully reconstructed a model from an Area mode session using the stock Apple tools?

I am trying to convert a JPG image to a JP2 (JPEG 2000) format using the ImageMagick library on iOS. However, although the file extension is changing to .jp2, the format of the image does not seem to be changing. The output image is still being treated as a JPG file, and not as a true JP2 format. Here is the code (IBAction)convertButtonClicked:(id)sender { NSString *jpgPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Example" ofType:@"jpg"]; NSString *tempFilePath = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Converted.jp2"]; MagickWand *wand = NewMagickWand(); if (MagickReadImage(wand, [jpgPath UTF8String]) == MagickFalse) { char *description; ExceptionType severity; description = MagickGetException(wand, &severity); NSLog(@"Error reading image: %s", description); MagickRelinquishMemory(description); return; } if (MagickSetFormat(wand, "JP2") == MagickFalse) { char *description; ExceptionType severity; description = MagickGetException(wand, &severity); NSLog(@"Error setting image format to JP2: %s", description); MagickRelinquishMemory(description); } if (MagickWriteImage(wand, [tempFilePath UTF8String]) == MagickFalse) { NSLog(@"Error writing JP2 image"); return; } NSLog(@"Image successfully converted."); } @end

Starting with iOS 18.0 beta 1, I've noticed that RealityKit frequently crashes in the simulator when an app launches and presents an ARView. I was able to create a small sample app with repro steps that demonstrates the issue, and I've submitted feedback: FB16144085 I've included a crash log with the feedback. If possible, I'd appreciate it if an Apple engineer could investigate and suggest a workaround. It's awkward to be restricted to the iOS 17 simulator, which does not exhibit this behavior. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Thank you.

I am trying to install the Game Porting Toolkit 2.1 according to the Readme file provided with the toolkit. When I run the following command: WINEPREFIX=~/my-game-prefix brew --prefix game-porting-toolkit/bin/wine64 winecfg I get an error message: zsh: no such file or directory: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit/bin/wine64 I don't know how to resolve this. When I type in the command which brew , I get the path /usr/local/bin/brew What am I doing wrong?

If I have one portal on the ceiling and one on the floor, can a tall Entity cross multiple portals at once? Will the opposing portal directions cause it to fail? No matter what I try for the crossingMode and clippingMode of the PortalComponent I can only get it to fully work for one portal at a time. I have tried flipping the normals for the crossingMode and clippingMode planes. I have also tried creating a ceiling portal plane with inverted normals. It seems like whatever Entity is passing through a portal has one portal it wants to deal with at a time and that's it. My other option is to create portals using occlusion but I prefer the simplest way.
