Access main camera on Apple Vision Pro

From visionOS 2.0 we can access Apple Vision Pro's main camera but only for Enterprise account as it is enterprise API only, I have a normal Developer account and I want to use main camera and want to have a video call feature in app by using main camera of AVP, is it possible to do it using developer account only. Currently using that account I am not able to create entitlement certificate as there is no option.

Hi @visionosuser25

There is no way to access the main camera outside of enterprise apis for visionOS. However, your use case sounds like a good fit for SharePlay. Have you considered using the Group Activities framework? It enables shared experiences over FaceTime.

Here are some resources to help you get started:

Hi, Actually I want to build a use case where I can share my main screen camera on remote call and want to use AR overlay on top of the shared screen.

I'm in the same boat here. I'm developing an app where I'd like to do OCR style scanning of cards. I'm not in The position where I can get an enterprise agreement, but I don't believe that using screenshots or pasting photos is a good user experience or good enough of a user experience for me to even support the feature in the application.

I'd really love if we could get a way to get access to the main camera in like a sandboxed way So that we could safely access the main camera without gaining access to the user's entire feed forever.

For example, I think a decent user experience could be that they could enable a scan mode, and then the feed becomes active until they stop, and then they can turn it off, and in turning it off, we lose access to the feed. It would function much the same as The iPhone camera access, where you only get access to it for the period of time that you're using it.

In my situation, this is the first time for my app where the vision is just incapable of keeping up with the other platforms that I support.

And I'd really hate to drop support to any degree for the Vision. :(
