Website environment disappears suddenly
After I updated to visionOS 26.4, I noticed my website environment would suddenly turn off occasionally while I was watching YouTube in Safari. My M2 AVP was still warm after the update. Is turning off a website environment expected behavior when the headset gets warm (e.g., perhaps to reduce load)? If not, anyone have an idea this might happen?

The folding and unfolding effect of the NBA sand table
Seeing this magical sand table, the unfolding and folding effects are similar to spreading out cards, which is very interesting. But I don't know how to achieve it. I want to see if there are any ways to achieve this effect and give some ideas. May I ask if this effect can be achieved under the existing API

RoomCaptureView runs on the latest system with a serious bug causing errors
I am using RoomCaptureView for house scanning and modeling On the latest iOS 26, the following issues were encountered The program runs well on iOS 26 and below, but on iOS 26 and above, the probability of scene localization failure becomes abnormally high, and accurate indoor localization cannot be obtained. Additionally, the probability of using RoomBuilder to merge models is also high After compiling the program using xcode 26 or above, a necessary bug appeared when running it on iOS 26, RoomCaptureView is completely unable to run The error message is {RoomCaptureSession. Capture Error's' Internal error '} And the camera interface of RoomCaptureView has turned into a splash screen Another Debug error occurred:{ -[MTLDebugRenderCommandEncoder validateCommonDrawErrors:]:5970: failed assertion `Draw Errors Validation Fragment Function(realitykit::fsSurfaceShadow): incorrect type of texture (MTLTextureType2D) bound at Texture binding at index 14 (expect MTLTextureType1D) for tonemapLUT[0]. } When using programs compiled under xcode 26 and running on iOS 26, this issue will not occur

Cursor display issue on attachment view in immersive space
While using Screen Mirroring in developer mode within my immersive space, I noticed an alignment issue with the computer cursor (transparent circle). When I move it toward an attachment view, the cursor remains horizontal instead of aligning with the surface of the attachment view. It shows correctly on a 2D window only wrong on attachment view. Is this behavior a bug, or could it be caused by a missing or incorrect configuration on the attachment view? Want help, thanks.

Extending or disabling the 1.5-meter boundary in ImmersiveSpace
I’m currently developing an app for visionOS and working with an ImmersiveSpace. I’ve noticed that the system automatically enforces a safety boundary at approximately 1.5 meters. If the user moves beyond this limit, the content fades out or the system reverts to Passthrough. Is there any way to disable this boundary or extend its radius? This app is currently in the experimental/verification phase, and it is intended to be run on a Vision Pro in Developer Mode. Since the primary goal is to test large-scale spatial interactions during development, I am looking for any way—including developer-specific settings or configurations—to bypass or expand this limit. If there isn't a direct API to change the boundary size, are there any recommended workarounds for testing movement within large environments? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

ImmersiveSpace orphaned when WindowGroup closes
Environment visionOS 26.1, Xcode 26.1.1 Problem When a WindowGroup opens an ImmersiveSpace and the user closes the window via X button, the async Task in .onDisappear gets cancelled before dismissImmersiveSpace() completes, leaving the ImmersiveSpace active with no way to exit. Steps WindowGroup opens ImmersiveSpace in .onAppear User clicks X to close window .onDisappear fires but async cleanup cancelled ImmersiveSpace remains active, user trapped Expected ImmersiveSpace dismissed when window closes Actual ImmersiveSpace remains active Code .onAppear { Task { await openImmersiveSpace(id: "VideoCallMainCamera") } } .onDisappear { Task { await dismissImmersiveSpace() // Gets cancelled } } What I've Tried Task in .onDisappear ❌ scenePhase monitoring ❌ High priority Task ❌ .restorationBehavior(.disabled) + .defaultLaunchBehavior(.suppressed) ✅ (prevents restoration but doesn't fix immediate cleanup) Question What's the recommended pattern for ensuring ImmersiveSpace cleanup when WindowGroup closes? Is there a way to block window closure until async cleanup completes, or should ImmersiveSpaces automatically dismiss with their parent window?

Ornaments in Presentations
We can add ornaments to popovers shown by PresentationComponent, but I’m not sure if we should. While working on the editor for entities in a Volume-based app, I had the idea to add ornaments to the presented views. The entire app exists inside a volume. A user can tap a item to present a popoverUI to edit it. This is displayed using the new PresentationComponent in visionOS 26. Ornaments have a new attachment anchor option this year: .parent(). .ornament(attachmentAnchor: .parent(.top), ornament: {...}) This works well in the Simulator. We can add ornaments around this popover view just like we would with a window. Unfortunately, when I run this on device I get a different experience. Any part of the ornament that overlaps with the popover content isn’t rendered correctly. Sometimes it entirely disappears, other times it becomes partially transparent. We could use content alignment to try to make sure the ornament doesn’t overlap the popover content. .ornament(attachmentAnchor: .parent(.top), contentAlignment: .bottom, ornament: {...}) This works sometimes–but not all the time. It’s not clear if this is a bug or not, because I’m not sure if we are even supposed to be able to use ornaments in this way. Here is my hierarchy: An app opens as a Volume Volume presenting a RealityView, with its own ornament using .scene() anchor Multiple Entities with Presentation Component show an edit view The view uses .parent() anchor to add ornaments. What makes me unsure is that other methods for drawing UI in RealityView don’t seem to work with ornaments. For example, if I add an attachment to show a view with the ornament–even when I use the .parent() anchor–the ornament is anchor to the volume, not the attachment view. So what do we think? Is this a rendering bug? Are ornaments intended to work with attachments and presentations?

Why VideoMaterial can't show transparency on Apple Vision Pro
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/videomaterial The documentation: "Video materials support transparency if the source video’s file format also supports transparency." I have a transparency video(Hand.mov, HEVC with alpha), I can show the video with transparency background correctly on Vision Pro Simulates, but on physic Device the video has a black background. I'm sure the video format is ok because I can see get the texture from video and display it on an UnlitMaterial. How can I show the transparency video correctly with the RealityKit/VideoMaterial?

Misaligned visionOS Simulator Home Position
Using Xcode v26 Beta 6 on macOS v26 Beta 25a5349a When pressing on the home button of the visionOS simulator, I am not positioned in the middle of the room like would normally be. This occurred when moving a lot in the space to find an element added to an ImmersiveSpace. How to resolve: restart simulator device. See attached the pictures of the visionOSSimulatorCorrectHomePosition and the visionOSSimulatorMisallignedHomePosition.

Hello, I was wondering how I can initialize an ImageAnchoringSource using https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/anchoringcomponent/imageanchoringsource/init(_:) When I construct one using a URL, it doesn't seem to be tracked and I see in the following when I debug print the component: ▿ 0 : AnchoringComponent ▿ target : Target ▿ referenceImage : 1 element ▿ from : ImageAnchoringSource ▿ url : Optional<URL> ▿ some : file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/D1126EA0-A1D7-468F-A40C-8578B7F5BDDF/Library/Caches/CodeCache/0E457AA7-2195-48B9-9DD4-58CEB9397F69.png - _url : file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/D1126EA0-A1D7-468F-A40C-8578B7F5BDDF/Library/Caches/CodeCache/0E457AA7-2195-48B9-9DD4-58CEB9397F69.png - _parseInfo : nil - _baseParseInfo : nil - name : nil - group : nil ▿ trackingMode : TrackingMode - trackingMode : 2 Is there a specific format for the parseInfo?

.hoverEffect scaleEffect breaks scrolling in visionOS 26 beta 1
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

Can't observe Entity's orientation properties in Slider
On Xcode 26 and visionOS 26, apple provides observable property for Entity, so we can easily interact with Entity between RealityScene and SwiftUI, but there is a issue: It's fine to observe Entity's position and scale properties in Slider, but can't observe orientation properties in Slider.

Volumetric Maps in VisionOS
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?
