Does anyone know if we will be able to airplay content from another Apple device, say an iPad or iPhone to the Vision Pro?

Hello, I’m porting my UIKit/SceneKit app to SwiftUI/RealityKit and I’m wondering how to change the camera target programmatically. I created a simple scene in Reality Composer Pro with two spheres. My goal is straightforward: when the user taps a sphere, the camera should look at it as the main target. Following Apple’s videos, I implemented the .gesture modifier and it is printing the tapped sphere correctly, but updating my targetEntity state doesn’t change anything, so the camera won't update its target. Is there a way to access the scene content at that level? Or what else should I do? Here’s my current code implementation: Thanks!

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?

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?

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'm trying to build an MDLMesh then add normals let mdlMesh = MDLMesh.newBox(withDimensions: SIMD3<Float>(1, 1, 1), segments: SIMD3<UInt32>(2, 2, 2), geometryType: MDLGeometryType.triangles, inwardNormals:false, allocator: allocator) mdlMesh.addNormals(withAttributeNamed: MDLVertexAttributeNormal, creaseThreshold: 0) When I render the mesh, some normals are (0,0,0). I don't know if the problem is in the mesh, or in the conversion to MTKMesh. Is there a way to examine an MDLMesh with the geometry viewer? When I look at the variable values for my mdlMesh I get this: Not too useful. I don't know how to track down the normals. What's the best way to find out where the normals getting broken?

In this video, tile fragment shading is recommended for image processing. In this example, the unpack function takes two arguments, one of which is RasterizerData. As I understand it, this is the data passed to us from the previous stage (Vertex) of the graphics pipeline. However, the properties of MTLTileRenderPipelineDescriptor do not include an option for specifying a Vertex function. Therefore, in this render pass, a mix of commands is used: first, a draw command is executed to obtain UV coordinates, and then threads are dispatched. My question is: without using a draw command, only dispatch, how can I get pixel coordinates in the fragment tile function? For the kernel tile function, everything is clear. typedef struct { float4 OPTexture [[ color(0) ]]; float4 IntermediateTex [[ color(1) ]]; } FragmentIO; fragment FragmentIO Unpack(RasterizerData in [[ stage_in ]], texture2d<float, access::sample> srcImageTexture [[texture(0)]]) { FragmentIO out; //... // Run necessary per-pixel operations out.OPTexture = // assign computed value; out.IntermediateTex = // assign computed value; return out; }

Hey, I've been struggling with this for some days now. I am trying to write to a sparse texture in a compute shader. I'm performing the following steps: Set up a sparse heap and create a texture from it Map the whole area of the sparse texture using updateTextureMapping(..) Overwrite every value with the value "4" in a compute shader Blit the texture to a shared buffer Assert that the values in the buffer are "4". I have a minimal example (which is still pretty long unfortunately). It works perfectly when removing the line heapDesc.type = .sparse. What am I missing? I could not find any information that writes to sparse textures are unsupported. Any help would be greatly appreciated. import Metal func sparseTexture64x64Demo() throws { // ── Metal objects guard let device = MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice() else { throw NSError(domain: "SparseNotSupported", code: -1) } let queue = device.makeCommandQueue()! let lib = device.makeDefaultLibrary()! let pipeline = try device.makeComputePipelineState(function: lib.makeFunction(name: "addOne")!) // ── Texture descriptor let width = 64, height = 64 let format: MTLPixelFormat = .r32Uint // 4 B per texel let desc = MTLTextureDescriptor() desc.textureType = .type2D desc.pixelFormat = format desc.width = width desc.height = height desc.storageMode = .private desc.usage = [.shaderWrite, .shaderRead] // ── Sparse heap let bytesPerTile = device.sparseTileSizeInBytes let meta = device.heapTextureSizeAndAlign(descriptor: desc) let heapBytes = ((bytesPerTile + meta.size + bytesPerTile - 1) / bytesPerTile) * bytesPerTile let heapDesc = MTLHeapDescriptor() heapDesc.type = .sparse heapDesc.storageMode = .private heapDesc.size = heapBytes let heap = device.makeHeap(descriptor: heapDesc)! let tex = heap.makeTexture(descriptor: desc)! // ── CPU buffers let bytesPerPixel = MemoryLayout<UInt32>.stride let rowStride = width * bytesPerPixel let totalBytes = rowStride * height let dstBuf = device.makeBuffer(length: totalBytes, options: .storageModeShared)! let cb = queue.makeCommandBuffer()! let fence = device.makeFence()! // 2.

When I take a frame capture of my application in Xcode, it shows a warning that reads "Your application created separate command encoders which can be combined into a single encoder. By combining these encoders you may reduce your application's load/store bandwidth usage." In the minimal reproduction case I've identified for this warning, I have two render pipeline states: The first writes to the current drawable, the depth buffer, and a secondary color buffer. The second writes only to the current drawable. Because these are writing to a different set of outputs, I was initially creating two separate render command encoders to handle the draws under each of these states. My understanding is that Xcode is telling me I could only create one, however when I try to do that, I get runtime asserts when attempting to apply the second render pipeline state since it doesn't have a matching attachment configured for the second color buffer or for the depth buffer, so I can't just combine the encoders. Is the only solution here to detect and propagate forward the color/depth attachments from the first state into the creation of the second state? Is there any way to suppress this specific warning in Xcode?

Following the post on https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/custommaterial it's simple to use shader for materials and get uniforms and params from each vertex. However it's not available for visionOS. Any alternative to use in this case? I want to write shader to fill material by myself. (I have shader experience from web, familiar with fragment shader)

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.

TLDR; I can't get QueueName to work with matchmaking a turn-based match in Unity using matchmaking rules. Long version: I'm using the apple unity plugin found here: https://github.com/apple/unityplugins/blob/main/plug-ins/Apple.GameKit/Apple.GameKit_Unity/Assets/Apple.GameKit/Documentation~/Apple.GameKit.md I have created a Queue, RuleSet and a simple Rule to match players by following these docs tightly: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/gamekit/finding-players-using-matchmaking-rules. Here is the single rule I have that drives matchmaking: { "data" : { "type" : "gameCenterMatchmakingRules", "id" : "[hiddden-rule-id]", "attributes" : { "referenceName" : "ComplimentaryFactionPreference", "description" : "default desc", "type" : "MATCH", "expression" : "requests[0].properties.preference != requests[1].properties.preference", "weight" : null }, "links" : { "self" : "https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/gameCenterMatchmakingRules/[hidden-rule-id]" } }, "links" : { "self" : "https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/gameCenterMatchmakingRules" } } which belongs to a rule set which belongs to a queue. I have verified these are setup and linked via the App Store Connect API. Additionally, when I tested queue-based matchmaking without a queue established, I got an error in Unity. Now, with this, I do not. However there is a problem when I attempt to use the queue for matchmaking. I have the basic C# function here: public override void StartSearch(NSMutableDictionary<NSString, NSObject> properties) { if (searching) return; base.StartSearch(properties); //Establish matchmaking requests _matchRequest = GKMatchRequest.Init(); _matchRequest.QueueName = _PreferencesToQueue(GetSerializedPreferences()); _matchRequest.Properties = properties; _matchRequest.MaxPlayers = PLAYERS_COUNT; _matchRequest.MinPlayers = PLAYERS_COUNT; _matchTask = GKTurnBasedMatch.Find(_matchRequest); } The _PreferencesToQueue(GetSerializedPreferences()); returns the exact name of the queue I added my ruleset to. After this function is called, I poll the task generated from the .Find(...) function. Every time I run this function, a new match is created almost instantly. No two players are ever added to the same match. Further, I'm running two built game instances, one on a mac and another on an ipad and when I simultaneously test, I am unable to join games this way. Can someone help me debug why I cannot seem to match make when using a queue based approach?

Hello, **I'm Using ** Unity 6 LTS Unity Apple GameKit + Core plugins Turn-based matchmaking interface w/ 2 players max App Store Connect API for rule-based matchmaking I have already enabled game center in app store connect (I think) authenticated players and matched via friend request I am stuck Using queues to match players automatically I'm working on a rule-based matchmaking system which aims to place two players against each other into a GKTurnBasedMatch. I have a simple Unity Project that correctly authenticates a user and proceeds to send a matchmaking request. The matchmaking script utilizes the Unity plugins' GKTurnBasedMatchmakerViewController.Request(...) request function with a GKMatchRequest.Init() request configured with a QueueName equal to the App Store Connect API Queue I created. The queue I created is also linked to a ruleset with a very basic rule that checks if the properties contains a key called 'preference' that contains a string value for what side the player wants to play for this match. If during the matchmaking, the preferences between players are different, then the match is made and both players should join the match; each player gets to play the side they have chosen. I have my rule expression designed to just check if the preferences are not equal: requests[0].properties.faction_preference != requests[1].properties.faction_preference When I launch the game with two physical iPads and begin the matchmaking request, each player is immediately presented with two options: Invite a friend, or Start game The Problem: Inviting a friend works to get two players into a game, but queue seems to not matter, and clicking start game will just put the current player into its own match (no one joins). The Question: How do I get queue based matchmaking to work in Unity for a Turn-based match with only two players who are able to select the enemy side they want to play dictated by a rule that compares enemy play-side preferences? Resources I've used: Apple Unity GameKit Plugin: https://github.com/apple/unityplugins Matchmaking: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/gamekit/matchmaking-rules Multiplayer rulesets: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/gamekit/finding-players-using-matchmaking-rules

What is Game Mode? Game Mode optimizes your gaming experience by giving your game the highest priority access to your CPU and GPU, lowering usage for background tasks. And it doubles the Bluetooth sampling rate, which reduces input latency and audio latency for wireless accessories like game controllers and AirPods. See Use Game Mode on Mac See Port advanced games to Apple platforms How can I enable Game Mode in my game? Add the Supports Game Mode property (GCSupportsGameMode) to your game’s Info.plist and set to true Correctly identify your game’s Application Category with LSApplicationCategoryType (also Info.plist) Note: Enabling Game Mode makes your game eligible but is not a guarantee; the OS decides if it is ok to enable Game Mode at runtime An app that enables Game Mode but isn’t a game will be rejected by App Review. How can I disable Game Mode? Set GCSupportsGameMode to false. Note: On Mac Game Mode is automatically disabled if the game isn’t running full screen.

Hi, I've just moved my SpriteKit-based game from UIView to SwiftUI + SpriteView and I'm getting this mesage Adding 'GCControllerView' as a subview of UIHostingController.view is not supported and may result in a broken view hierarchy. Add your view above UIHostingController.view in a common superview or insert it into your SwiftUI content in a UIViewRepresentable instead. Here's how I'm doing this struct ContentView: View { @State var alreadyStarted = false let initialScene = GKScene(fileNamed: "StartScene")!.rootNode as! SKScene var body: some View { ZStack { SpriteView(scene: initialScene, transition: .crossFade(withDuration: 1), isPaused: false , preferredFramesPerSecond: 60) .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) .onAppear { if !self.alreadyStarted { self.alreadyStarted.toggle() initialScene.scaleMode = .aspectFit } } VirtualControllerView() .onAppear { let virtualController = BTTSUtilities.shared.makeVirtualController() BTTSSharedData.shared.virtualGameController = virtualController BTTSSharedData.shared.virtualGameController?.connect() } .onDisappear { BTTSSharedData.shared.virtualGameController?.disconnect() } } } } struct VirtualControllerView: UIViewRepresentable { func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIView { let result = PassthroughView() return result } func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context: Context) { } } class PassthroughView: UIView { override func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? { for subview in subviews.reversed() { let convertedPoint = convert(point, to: subview) if let hitView = subview.hitTest(convertedPoint, with: event) { return hitView } } return nil } }

Anyone else unable to download the "Rendering a Scene with Deferred Lighting in C++" (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/rendering-a-scene-with-deferred-lighting-in-c++?language=objc)? I just an error page: Is there another place to download this sample?

I think I really have tried everything and I did all according to official documentation to support game mode on iOS or iPadOS but it doesn't matter what I do it just doesn't get triggered. Funny enough it works during development when I install it via Xcode but as soon as it is live on the store and when I install it from there game mode doesn't get triggered anymore. What I have atm I have added (even though it is deprecated) <key>GCSupportsGameMode</key> <true/> I have set the (but it seems only supported for macOS) <key>LSApplicationCategoryType</key> <string>public.app-category.games</string> I have added <key>LSSupportsGameMode</key> <true/> It just doesn't work. Is there anything else what needs to be done? Should the flag LSSupportsGameMode not be enough normally? The reason why this is so annoying is that my app is a real time streaming app and I want to profit from minimised background activities for smoother gameplay and more consistent frame rates like mentioned in the documentation.

I am trying to use Broadcast upload extension but Broadcast picker starts countdown and stops (swiftUI). Steps i followed. added BroadcastUploadExtension as target same app group for for main app and extension added packages using SPM i seems the extension functions are not getting triggered, i check using UIScreen.main.isCaptured also which always comes as false. i tried Using Logs which never Appeared.
