How to create a visionOS project in Xcode15.0beta

Does visionOS support mapkit?

Is there support for using multiple UV channels in AR QuickLook in iOS17? One important use case would be to put a tiling texture in an overlapping tiling UV set while mapping Ambient Occlusion to a separate unwrapped non-overlapping UV set. This is very important to author 3D content combining high-resolution surface detail and high-quality Ambient Occlusion data while keeping file size to a minimum.

Hi, I was wondering after watching the WWDC23 session, Meet Core Location for spatial computing, does the Apple Vision Pro have GPS? Or does it provide Core Location functionality via Wi-Fi? Also, in Unity, we use Input.location to get latitude and longitude. When developing in Unity with Apple Vision Pro, do we use Input.location to get latitude and longitude? Best regards.

I just grabbed the portal code made available for testing and ran into this error when trying to run in simulator Vision Pro Thread 1: Fatal error: SwiftUI Scene ImmersiveSpace requires a UISceneSessionRole of "UISceneSessionRoleImmersiveSpaceApplication" for key UIApplicationPreferredDefaultSceneSessionRole in the Application Scene Manifest.

There is a project tutorial for visionOS Metal rendering in immersive mode here (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/compositorservices/drawing_fully_immersive_content_using_metal?language=objc), but there is no downloadable sample project. Would Apple please provide sample code? The set-up is non-trivial.

Is MTKView intentionally unavailable on visionOS or is this an issue with the current beta?

The documentation is very sparse

I was starting to test visionOS SDK on an existing project that has been running fine on iPad (iOS 17) with Xcode 15. It can be configured to run on visionOS simulator on a MacBook that runs M1 chip without any change in Xcode’s project Build Settings. However the Apple Vision Pro simulator doesn’t appear when I run Xcode 15 on Intel MacBook Pro, unless I change the SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS key on the Xcode’s project Build Settings to visionOS. Although, I can understand that a MacBook pro running M1 / M2 chip would be the ideal platform to run the visionOS simulator, it’s so much better if we can run the visionOS simulator on iPadOS, as it has the same arm64 architecture, and it has all the hardware needed to run camera, GPS, and Lidar. The Mac is not a good simulator, even though it has an M1 / M2 chip, first of all: It doesn’t have a dual facing camera (front and back) It doesn’t have a Lidar It doesn’t have GPS It doesn’t have a 5G cellular radio It’s not portable enough for developers to design use cases around spatial computing Last but not least, I have problems or not very clear on simulating ARKit with actual camera frames on a VisionPro simulator, while I would estimate this can be simulated perfectly on an iPadOS. My suggestion is to provide us developers with a simulator that can be run on iPadOS, that will increase developers adoption and improve the design and prototyping phase of apps running on the actual Vision Pro device.

Hi Is anyone aware of a way to emulate the digital crown within the Vision Pro Simulator? I've tried various key/scrolling combinations without any luck. I am interested to see how the progressive immersion mode works. Thanks

Hi all, Does anyone know the dimensions of screenshots from Vision Pro? Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to run the visionOS simulator, however all I'm seeing is a black screen. I tried running the tvOS simulator and it's working fine, so seems to just be an issue with visionOS. The Xcode preview doesn't work either for visionOS.

Is it possible to specify a default window size for a 2D window in visionOS? I know this is normally achieved by modifying the WindowGroup with .defaultSize(width:height:), but I get an error that this was not included in "xrOS". I am able to specify .defaultSize(width:height:depth:) for a volumetric window, but this doesn't have any effect when applied to a 2D one.

Planning to use 3D video in "windows" and "volumes" in my visionOS app, what's the easiest method to capture 3D video for this need? Thanks and cheers!

I have an iPad app I've just started testing in visionOS and it's gone pretty good so far except one issue, none of the long-press or swipe gestures in my List work. The app is SwiftUI based. so I'm using a List with the swipeActions and contextMenu modifiers. Could these be broke, unsupported or am I not understand how to initiate these in the simulator? For a long press I'd assume just holding down on the mouse button should work. This appears to work in Safari.

After taking a look at the Deliver Video Content for Spatial Experiences session, alongside the Destination Video sample code, I'm a bit unclear on how one might go about creating stereoscopic content that can be bundled up as a MV-HEVC file and played on Vision Pro. I see the ISO Base Media File Format and Apple HEVC Stereo Video format specifications, alongside new mvhevc1440x1440 output presets in AVFoundation, but I'm unclear what sort of camera equipment could be used to create stereoscopic content and how one might be able to create a MV-HEVC using a command-line tool that leverages AVFoundation/VideoToolbox, or something like Final Cut Pro. Is such guidance available on how to film and create this type of file? Thanks!

For those with existing projects that rely on a SceneDelegate and are primarily UIKit-based, I am curious how one might launch a window with a style of volumetric or an ImmersiveSpace. Is this possible without having a SwiftUI-based @Main entry point?
