Hello, When testing GameKit "Manage Game Progress" in Xcode 26: On iOS devices, achievements, leaderboards, and party code data display and work correctly. On macOS devices, none of these data appear in "Manage Game Progress." Is this a known issue with macOS GameKit, or is there a limitation compared to iOS? If it is not a bug, is there any additional configuration needed to make achievements and leaderboards visible on macOS? I also included the GameKit bundle in my macOS app and enabled Enable Debug Mode in GameKit Configuration in the scheme options. Thank you.

In the SceneKit framework, I want to render a point cloud and need to set the minimumPointScreenSpaceRadius property of the SCNGeometryElement class, but it doesn't work. I searched for related issues on the Internet, but didn't get a final solution. Here is my code: - (SCNGeometry *)createGeometryWithVector3Data:(NSData *)vData colorData: (NSData * _Nullable)cData{ int stride = sizeof(SCNVector3); long count = vData.length / stride; SCNGeometrySource *dataSource = [SCNGeometrySource geometrySourceWithData:vData semantic:SCNGeometrySourceSemanticVertex vectorCount:count floatComponents:YES componentsPerVector:3 bytesPerComponent:sizeof(float) dataOffset:0 dataStride:stride]; SCNGeometryElement *element = [SCNGeometryElement geometryElementWithData:nil primitiveType:SCNGeometryPrimitiveTypePoint primitiveCount:count bytesPerIndex:sizeof(int)]; element.minimumPointScreenSpaceRadius = 1.0; // not work element.maximumPointScreenSpaceRadius = 20.0; SCNGeometry *pointCloudGeometry; SCNGeometrySource *colorSource; if (cData && cData.length != 0) { colorSource = [SCNGeometrySource geometrySourceWithData:cData semantic:SCNGeometrySourceSemanticColor vectorCount:count floatComponents:YES componentsPerVector:3 bytesPerComponent:sizeof(float) dataOffset:0 dataStride:stride]; pointCloudGeometry = [SCNGeometry geometryWithSources:@[dataSource, colorSource] elements:@[element]]; } else { pointCloudGeometry = [SCNGeometry geometryWithSources:@[dataSource] elements:@[element]]; } return pointCloudGeometry; }

I have a scene built up in RealityComposerPro, in which I've added a ParticleEmitter with isEmitting set to False and 'Loop' set to True. In my app, when I toggle isEmitting to True there can be a delay of a few seconds before the ParticleEmitter starts. However, if I programatically add the emitter in code at that point, it starts immediately. To be clear, I'm seeing this on the VisionOS simulator - I don't have access to a device at this time. Am I misunderstanding how to control the ParticleEmitter when I need precise control on when it starts.

Hello there, I'm having trouble matching what I see in the scenekit editor and the output of the resulting scene in a scnview. For a glitter effect I have set a high value on the diffuse intensity which looks fine in the editor but when running the game the colors are much darker. To see if the intensity value is merely capped I have set the same multiplier on the hat below - but it is blown out which looks to me like there is some grading going on I have tried to switch on hdr rendering but that didn't make a difference. I tried disabling linear rendering and that simply made everything darker still - which I expect. Does someone have an idea what else this could be? What rendering is the scenekit editor using and how can I match it? Interestingly when I take a screenshot of the editor window for this post, the image is also blown out... what is going on? :) Thanks so much for any pointers, Seb

I am working on a custom resolve tile shader for a client. I see a big difference in performance depending on where we write to: 1- the resolve texture of the color attachment 2- a rw tile shader texture set via [renderEncoder setTileTexture: myResolvedTexture] Option 2 is more than twice as slow than option 1. Our compute shader writes to 4 UAVs so just using the resolve texture entry is not possible. Why such a difference as there is no more data being written? Can option 2 be as fast as option 1? I can demonstrate the issue in a modified version of the Multisample code sample.

My app is being rejected and all I'm being told is that it is spam. I've tried improving various aspects of the game, but I just receive the same copy and paste rejection message each time. I have no idea if I'm moving in the right direction or what part of my game needs to be changed or improved. Is there a game quality benchmark document or some kind of resource I can use to better understand why my game is being rejected and how to bring it to a level that meets apple's standards.

Hello ! We are working on a real-time 2-player online game targeting multiple Apple devices. The following issue only occurs on tvOS: When selecting matchmaking to connect with another random player, the native Game Center interface opens and begins the matchmaking process. Almost immediately after clicking "start", the following log appears in the console, and the matchmaking screen remains indefinitely without completing: Timeout while starting matching with request: <GKMatchRequestInternal 0x30d62f690> { defaultNumberOfPlayers : 0 isLateJoin : 0 localPlayerID : U:bea182d69b85f0839e3958742fbc4609 matchType : 0 maxPlayers : 2 minPlayers : 2 playerAttributes : 4294967295 playerGroup : 1 preloadedMatch : 0 recipientPlayerIDs : <__NSArrayM 0x3034ed5c0> {} recipients : <__NSArrayM 0x3034ee280> {} restrictToAutomatch : 0 version : 1 archivedSharePlayInviteeTokensFromProgrammaticInvite, inviteMessage, localizableInviteMessage, messagesBasedRecipients, properties, queueName, recipientProperties, rid, sessionToken : (null) } . Error: (null) However, as shown in the code snippet below, the task does not complete when the log appears. But when we manually cancel the matchmaking process, the "User cancel" log is correctly triggered. var gkMatchRequest = GKMatchRequest.Init(); gkMatchRequest.MinPlayers = 2; gkMatchRequest.MaxPlayers = 2; var matchRequestTask = GKMatchmakerViewController.Request(gkMatchRequest); matchRequestTask.ContinueWith(t => { Debug.LogException(t.Exception); }, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnFaulted); matchRequestTask.ContinueWith(t => { Debug.Log("User cancel"); }, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnCanceled); matchRequestTask.ContinueWith(t => { Debug.Log("Success"); }, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnRanToCompletion); We have tested this on multiple Apple TV and network types (Wi-Fi, 5G, Ethernet), but we consistently encounter this bug along with the same log message. Could you please help us understand or resolve this issue? Thank you.

Hi, is there any way to use front camera to do the motion capture? I want recognize if the user raised there hands up with the front camera on iPhone. I was able to do it with the back camera, not the front. Also, if there is any sample code, or document, I would be super happy. Waiting for your reply!!

Developing a prototype Vision Pro app and would like to render a 3D scene made from Reality Composer Pro on an image anchor in a RealityView. But I have no luck so far to make it work and need some guidance to move on. I got the image file stored in the assets like below: And from below is the source codes: import SwiftUI import RealityKit import RealityKitContent struct AnchorView: View { @State var imageEntity: Entity = { let anchorEntity = AnchorEntity(.image(group: "AR Resources", name: "reanchor")) return anchorEntity }() var body: some View { RealityView { content in do { // Add the initial RealityKit content if let scene = try? await Entity(named: "Scene", in: realityKitContentBundle) { imageEntity.addChild(scene) content.add(imageEntity) } } catch { print("Error occurs when adding reality view content: \(error)") } } } }

I want to display the refresh rate on the screen of the iPhone (14 Pro Max), but each app of the App Store's "Floating Clock", "Floating Clock Premium" and "Screen Renewal Rate - RefreshRate Realtime" can only display two of 60Hz and 120Hz, and I wonder if it can display numbers of 1Hz, 10Hz, tens of Hz, or more than 3 levels. Does anyone know how to do it?

Hi, I’m learning MAUI and was trying to use VNDocumentCameraViewController provided by Vision Kit to scan documents and it is working fine but I realized that I was not able to customize some of the options provided by default like, disabling the auto scan option. Is there any way to disable the auto scan option or are there any other alternatives with the same founctionalities as VNDocumentCameraViewController that are more customizable?

I am suspecting that setting GCController.shouldMonitorBackgroundEvents = true does not actually make the game controllers inputs accessible to the app when it is in the background. About this value the official documentation says: A Boolean value that indicates whether the app needs to respond to controller events when it isn’t the frontmost app. Now the behavior is that when the app is in focus the users inputs do get correctly recognized but as soon as the app enters the background no inputs get recognized. The controller does not get reported as disconnecting and still works for example in launchpad. I am sure that about 2 months ago when I first used this it did work as one would expect. I also have seen that an app which lets users execute certain actions using their controller has stoped working recently, adding to my suspicion of the feature being broken. Here is a minimum reproducible example: import SwiftUI import GameController @main struct TestingControllerConnectionApp: App { @NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { var statusItem: NSStatusItem? var controller: GCController? func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ notification: Notification) { setupMenuBar() GCController.shouldMonitorBackgroundEvents = true NotificationCenter.default.addObserver( self, selector: #selector(controllerDidConnect), name: .GCControllerDidConnect, object: nil ) NotificationCenter.default.addObserver( self, selector: #selector(controllerDidDisconnect), name: .GCControllerDidDisconnect, object: nil ) } @objc private func setupMenuBar() { let menu = NSMenu() menu.addItem(NSMenuItem(title: "Quit", action: #selector(quitApp), keyEquivalent: "q")) statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength) statusItem?.button?.image = NSImage(resource: .controllerBar) statusItem?.menu = menu } @objc private func quitApp() { NSApp.terminate(nil) } @objc private func controllerDidConnect(_ notification: Notification) { if let controller = notification.object as? GCController { print("Controller connected") self.controller = controller if let gamepad = controller.extendedGamepad { gamepad.buttonA.pressedChangedHandler = { _, _, pressed in print("Button A pressed: \(pressed)") } } } } @objc private func controllerDidDisconnect(_ notification: Notification) { print("Controller disconnected") } } This is created in a completely fresh Xcode project and NSHumanInterfaceDeviceUsageDescription has been added. I am using a PS5 Controller and a Mac running MacOS 15.4.1 which has been restarted and only Xcode and the app have been opened. I have tested this with setting a multitude of different entitlements and capabilities including: NSHumanInterfaceDeviceUsageDescription Supports Controller User Interaction Required background modes -> App communicates with an accessory com.apple.security.device.bluetooth com.apple.security.device.hid com.apple.security.device.usb I have also set this value at different points in the code with no change of effect. Does anybody see if there is any fault in my code or my understanding of the effect of the value 'shouldMonitorBackgroundEvents'? Or is this the functionality actually being broken on Apples part?

After following the instructions here: https://developer.apple.com/metal/cpp/ I attempted building my project and Xcode presented several errors. In essence it's complaining about some redeclarations in the Metal-CPP headers. NSBundle.hpp and NSError.hpp are included in the metal-cpp/foundation directory from the metal-cpp download. Any help in getting these issues resolved is appreciated. Thanks!

I’m trying to play an Apple Immersive video in the .aivu format using VideoPlayerComponent using the official documentation found here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/RealityKit/VideoPlayerComponent Here is a simplified version of the code I'm running in another application: import SwiftUI import RealityKit import AVFoundation struct ImmersiveView: View { var body: some View { RealityView { content in let player = AVPlayer(url: Bundle.main.url(forResource: "Apple_Immersive_Video_Beach", withExtension: "aivu")!) let videoEntity = Entity() var videoPlayerComponent = VideoPlayerComponent(avPlayer: player) videoPlayerComponent.desiredImmersiveViewingMode = .full videoPlayerComponent.desiredViewingMode = .stereo player.play() videoEntity.components.set(videoPlayerComponent) content.add(videoEntity) } } } Full code is here: https://github.com/tomkrikorian/AIVU-VideoPlayerComponentIssueSample But the video does not play in my project even though the file is correct (It can be played in Apple Immersive Video Utility) and I’m getting this error when the app crashes: App VideoPlayer+Component Caption: onComponentDidUpdate Media Type is invalid Domain=SpatialAudioServicesErrorDomain Code=2020631397 "xpc error" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=xpc error} CA_UISoundClient.cpp:436 Got error -4 attempting to SetIntendedSpatialAudioExperience [0x101257490|InputElement #0|Initialize] Number of channels = 0 in AudioChannelLayout does not match number of channels = 2 in stream format. Video I’m using is the official sample that can be found here but tried several different files shot from my clients and the same error are displayed so the issue is definitely not the files but on the RealityKit side of things: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/immersivemediasupport/authoring-apple-immersive-video Steps to reproduce the issue: - Open AIVUPlayerSample project and run. Look at the logs. All code can be found in ImmersiveView.swift Sample file is included in the project Expected results: If I followed the documentation and samples provided, I should see my video played in full immersive mode inside my ImmersiveSpace. Am i doing something wrong in the code? I'm basically following the documentation here. Feedback ticket: FB19971306

How many 32-bit variables can I use concurrently in a single thread of a Metal compute kernel without worrying about the variables getting spilled into the device memory? Alternatively: how many 32-bit registers does a single thread have available for itself? Let's say that each thread of my compute kernel needs to store and work with its own array of N float variables, where N can be 128, 256, 512 or more. To achieve maximum possible performance, I do not want to the local thread variables to get spilled into the slow device memory. I want all N variables to be stored "on-chip", in the thread memory space. To make my question more concrete, let's say there is an array thread float localArray[N]. Assuming an unrealistic hypothetical scenario where localArray is the only variable in the whole kernel, what is the maximum value of N for which no portion of localArray would get spilled into the device memory? I searched in the Metal feature set tables, but I could not find any details.

Our APP has integrated 3D function, in order to reduce the memory occupation of the APP in the background, we will uninstall the 3D after the APP enters the background. However, the uninstall also causes problems. When the uninstall process is executed in the background, the app will briefly trigger the background GPU rendering error warning with the error warning code: OGPUMetalError: Insufficient Permission (to submit GPU work from background) (00000006:kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorBackgroundExecutionNotPermitted) Execution of the command buffer was aborted due to an error during execution. Insufficient Permission (to submit GPU Work from background) (00000006: kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorBackgroundExecutionNotPermitted) excuse me this warning system will tighten APP permissions background?​ For example, limit or shorten the background survival time of the APP. In addition, will the background refresh function fail, resulting in the failure of Bluetooth Ibeacon activation?

I have used SceneKit for several years but recently have a problem where a scene with fewer than 50 nodes is partially drawn, i.e., some nodes are, some aren't, and greater than 50 nodes are always draw correctly. This seems to have happened since concurrency was introduced. (w.r.t. concurrency, I had been using DispatchQueue successfully before then.) Since all nodes (few or many) are constructed and implemented by the same functions etc. I'm baffled. When I print the node hierarchy all nodes are present whether few or many. SceneView() has [.rendersContinually] option selected. Every node created (few or many) has .opacity = 1.0, .isHidden = false I haven't tried setting-back the compiler version as that is not a long term solution, and I know the same code worked fine then.
