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'm seeing this error while attempting to compile my VisionOS app under Xcode 26. My existing code looks like: let (naturalSize, formatDescriptions, mediaCharacteristics) = try? await videoTrack.load(.naturalSize, .formatDescriptions, .mediaCharacteristics) This is now giving a compiler error: Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation I don't see that anything that was changed or deprecated in the latest version. Also loading the properties individually seems to work fine i.e.: let naturalSize = try? await videoTrack.load(.naturalSize) let formatDescriptions = try? await videoTrack.load(.formatDescriptions) let mediaCharacteristics = try? await videoTrack.load(.mediaCharacteristics)

Can I apply .scrollInputBehavior(.enabled, for: .look) to a WebView (wrapped UIViewRepresentable) in a visionOS 26 app? I tried it myself, but I couldn't do it, so I would like to know if there is any way to do this. Best regards.

With the new ImagePresentationComponent in visionOS 26, how can text/overlays be shown on top of the image as seen in the Spatial Gallery app?

Hi, since iOS 18 UnlitMaterial and ShaderGraphMaterial have the option to disable tone mapping, e.g via https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/unlitmaterial/init(applypostprocesstonemap:) Is it possible to do the same for CustomMaterial? I tried initializing a CustomMaterial based on an UnlitMaterial where tone mapping is disabled, like so: let unlitMat = UnlitMaterial(applyPostProcessToneMap: false) let customMaterial = try CustomMaterial( from: unlitMat, surfaceShader: surfaceShader, geometryModifier: geometryModifier ) but that does not seem to work. The colors of my texture still look altered in comparison to a plain UnlitMaterial or a ShaderGraphMaterial where its disabled. Any hints? Thank you!

Hi Nathaniel, I spoke with you yesterday in the WWDC lab. Thanks for chatting with me! Is it possible to get a link to a doc that has some key metrics I'd find in a RealityKit trace so I know if that metric is exceeding limits and probably causing a problem? Right now, I just see numbers and have no idea if a metric is high or low :). This is specifically for a VisionOS app. Thanks, Bob

I really love the immersive environments, but I don’t have experience with creating them. Do you have resources or tutorials you can recommend for creating these from scratch? I’ve seen the sample projects and videos, but they usually start in the middle, assuming you already have the assets created.

When viewing an immersive space and I open a spatial photo in Quick Look, which hides the entire app interface to show the photo. Is there a memory limit? If the inmersive space is not active, the application keep the interface.

There a way to use contentCaptureProtected with Quick Look on VisionOS 26? Or exist a way to see a spatial photo with Quick Look without sharing options ?

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?

At the moment the map kit APls only support non-volumetric maps (i.e. in a window or in a volume, but on a 2D surface). Is support for 3D volumetric maps in VisionOS in the works? And if so when can we expect it to be available?

Since using Quick Look exits you from both your app and Immersive Space. Is there a way to view immersive images within Immersive Space?

Are there any changes to RotationSystem: System and RotationComponent: Component that I should be aware of to see if I need to update my use in my visionOS app?

Can we constrain or clamp translation with the new ManipulationComponent? For example, allow free movement within certain bounds.

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

.glassEffect(.regular, in: .rect(cornerRadius: 24)) error; 'glassEffect(_:in:isEnabled:)' is unavailable in visionOS This is not surprising since visionOS already has a native glass interface that formed a model for the other OS's, but this error will create additional overhead for developers creating multi-platform apps that include visionOS.

Since only the user can take a screenshot using the Apple Vision Pro's top buttons, the only workaround available to an immersive app that needs a screenshot to document the user's creative interior design choices is ask the user to take a screenshot wait until the user taps a button indicating the screenshot has been taken then the app asks the user to select the screenshot when the app opens the PhotoPicker when the user presses Done, the screenshot is handed off to the app. One wonders why there is no Apple Api for doing this in a simple privacy protective way such as: When called, the Apple api captures the screenshot in Apple secured memory The api displays the screenshot to the user with appropriate privacy warnings and asks if the user wants to a. share this screenshot with the app, or b. cancel, c. retake the screenshot If the user approves, the app receives the screenshot

Has Roomplan been abandoned? Two years have gone by without comments from Apple on improvements. Are the improvements behind the scenes? Is there going to be any major updates?

With Xcode 26, loading ressources with RealityKit is extremely slow. Here my project takes almost 50 seconds to load. I also get multiple Hang detected messages in the console: When I uncheck "Debug executable" in the schema, the same project loads in 2 seconds. I'm using RealityKit asynchronous loading: private static func loadFromRealityComposerPro( named entityName: String, fromSceneNamed sceneName: String ) async -> Entity? { var entity: Entity? do { let scene = try await Entity( named: sceneName, in: visionPetsContentBundle ) entity = scene.findEntity(named: entityName) } catch { print( "Error loading \(entityName) from scene \(sceneName): \(error.localizedDescription)" ) } return entity } Anyone having the same problem?
