The “explore spatial accessory input on visionOS” presentation from WDC25 interests me. I bought both the MUSE Logitech stylus and the PS VR2 sense controllers to try out with the sculpting app presented by the author, engineer Amanda Han. Unfortunately the app itself was not included. Could the app be made available for downloading as well as the Xcode project? I appreciate any assistance the author and your team could provide. Thank you.

My app has a number of heterogeneous GPU workloads that all run concurrently. Some of these should be executed with the highest priority because the app’s responsiveness depends on them, while others are triggered by file imports and the like which should have a low priority. If this was running on the CPU I’d assign the former User Interactive QoS and the latter Utility QoS. Is there an equivalent to this for GPU work?

How can I paste a string to the findNavigator of a TextEditor ?

I have a game built in Unreal Engine 5.6 which uses tilt motion controls to rotate an object. I've restricted the app to only run in portrait for iPhone, and everything works fine, however for iPad I've had a few issues relating to multitasking and I can't seem to solve it. Forcing the app to portrait only still allows the app to run in landscape mode, but shows black bars either side of the game, and the axes for the motion controls are incorrect. X becomes Y and Y becomes X, and there's no way for my app to know which orientation it is because the container is still technically portrait. Allowing my game to run in all orientations makes the whole app more presentable, it doesn't add black bars and the game is still functional and I'm able to map the controls correctly because the game knows it's landscape rather than portrait. The problem with allowing my app to run in landscape mode is if multitasking is enabled on the ipad, you can resize the app to be portrait, and then I run into the same problem again where the game thinks it's portrait mode and all of the axes are wrong again. I tried getting the true orientation of the device rather than the scene, but the game is intended to be played flat so instead of returning the orientation of the OS the orientation is FaceUp, which doesn't help. I need to either disable multitasking or find a way of getting the orientation of the OS (not the scene or the device). I haven't found how to get the OS orientation so I've been trying to disable multitasking. I've got Requires Fullscreen true and UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScreens false in my info.plist but my iPad still seems to allow the window to be resized in landscape view. Opening the IOS workspace of my project Requires Fullscreen is ticked but under that it says "Supports Multiple Windows" and the arrow button next to it takes my to my info.plist values, but no indication of how I can change it. I'm using Unreal Engine 5.6 and Xcode 16.0. Xcode is old I know, but this version of unreal engine doesn't seem to support any newer.

My app is live but the leaderboards still aren’t updating. App was built with unreal engine 5 with blueprints. I have the leaderboard stat info entered into the node for write integer to leaderboard and a node for show platform specific leaderboard. The leaderboards are shown as live on app connect. When I run the app, the Game Center login functions and the leaderboard interface launches as expected but it just lists a group of friends to invite. There are no scores listed and it says number of players 0 even though I have scored on two different devices and accounts. I have the Game Center entitlement added in Xcode. Not sure where else to look.

Hi all, I'm encountering an issue with Metal raytracing on my M5 MacBook Pro regarding Instance Acceleration Structure (IAS). Intersection tests suddenly stop working after a certain point in the sampling loop. Situation I implemented an offline GPU path tracer that runs the same kernel multiple times per pixel (sampleCount) using metal::raytracing. Intersection tests are performed using an IAS. Since this is an offline path tracer, geometries inside the IAS never changes across samples (no transforms or updates). As sampleCount increases, there comes a point where the number of intersections drops to zero, and remains zero for all subsequent samples. Here's a code sketch: let sampleCount: UInt16 = 1024 for sampleIndex: UInt16 in 0..<sampleCount { // ... do { let commandBuffer = commandQueue.makeCommandBuffer() // Dispatch the intersection kernel. await commandBuffer.completed() } do { let commandBuffer = commandQueue.makeCommandBuffer() // Use the intersection test results from the previous command buffer. await commandBuffer.completed() } // ... } kernel void intersectAlongRay( const metal::uint32_t threadIndex [[thread_position_in_grid]], // ... const metal::raytracing::instance_acceleration_structure accelerationStructure [[buffer(2)]], // ... ) { // ... const auto result = intersector.intersect(ray, accelerationStructure); switch (result.type) { case metal::raytracing::intersection_type::triangle: { // Write intersection result to device buffers. break; } default: break; } Observations Encoding both the intersection kernel and the subsequent result usage in the same command buffer does not resolve the problem. Switching from IAS to Primitive Acceleration Structure (PAS) fixes the problem. Rebuilding the IAS for each sample also resolves the issue. Intersections produce inconsistent results even though the IAS and rays are identical — Image 1 shows a hit, while Image 2 shows a miss. Questions Am I misusing IAS in some way ? Could this be a Metal bug ? Any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated.

I'm encountering a build failure when trying to install the Game Porting Toolkit via Homebrew. The installation fails during the game-porting-toolkit-compiler dependency build phase with a CMake compatibility error. Error Message: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_minimum_required): Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake. Update the VERSION argument <min> value. Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier. Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway. -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Modern CMake versions (3.5+) have removed backward compatibility with these older version requirements. Potential Solutions: Update the Homebrew formula to patch the CMakeLists.txt with cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5) or higher Update to newer CrossOver sources with updated CMake requirements Add the -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 flag to the CMake build command in the formula Is this a known issue? Are there plans to update the formula or the source package to resolve this compatibility problem? Any guidance on a workaround would be appreciated.

Just found out this key available for visionOS https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.low-latency-streaming It seems to keep video streaming from being interrupted by AWDL, our community needs it badly for self-hosted game streaming (PC to iPhone / iPad). Related apps: Moonlight / VoidLink / SteamLink. Can we expect this on iOS/iPadOS 26, or even iOS/iPadOS 18 ?

Dear Apple Color Management Team, I’m a professional visual creator working on color-critical photo and graphic projects using macOS (currently 26.1 Tahoe). In recent macOS releases, LUT-based ICC display profiles (such as XYZ LUT + Matrix types generated by DisplayCAL or professional spectrophotometers) can no longer be installed or activated via ColorSync. This limitation significantly affects professional workflows in photography, graphic design, prepress, and video color grading — fields that rely on precise display profiling. The current workaround (converting LUT profiles to simple shaper/matrix ICC v2) results in less accurate tone response and color reproduction, particularly in the dark range and wide-gamut displays. I kindly request Apple to restore or re-enable the ability to install and use ICC v2/v4 LUT-based display profiles under ColorSync, as was possible on macOS Monterey and Ventura. This would allow professionals to continue using trusted calibration tools such as DisplayCAL, X-Rite i1Profiler, and Calibrite Profiler to achieve accurate color management. macOS is widely used in professional creative industries, and restoring this feature would be a huge help for countless photographers, designers, and colorists. Thank you for your attention and commitment to professional users. Best regards, Richárd Deutsch Professional Photographer https://riccio.hu/ MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, macOS 26.1)

Hi, I’m testing Unity’s Spaceship HDRP demo on iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPad Pro M4 (iOS 26.1). Everything renders correctly, and my custom MetalFX Spatial plugin initializes successfully — it briefly reports active scaling (e.g. 1434×660 → 2868×1320 at 50% scaling), then reverts to native rendering a few frames later. Setup: Xcode 16.1 (targeting iOS 18) Unity 2022.3.62f3 (HDRP) Metal backend Dynamic Resolution enabled in HDRP assets and cameras Relevant Xcode console excerpt: [MetalFXPlugin] MetalFX_Enable(True) called. [SpaceshipOptions] MetalFX enabled with HDRP dynamic resolution integration. [SpaceshipOptions] Disabled TAA for MetalFX Spatial. [SpaceshipOptions] Created runtime RenderTexture: 1434x660 [MetalFX] Spatial scaler created (1434x660 → 2868x1320). [MetalFX] Processed frame with scaler. [MetalFXPlugin] Sent RenderTexture (1434x660) to MetalFX. Output target 2868x1320. [SpaceshipOptions] MetalFX target set: 1434x660 [SpaceshipOptions] Camera targetTexture cleared after MetalFX handoff. It looks like HDRP clears the camera’s target texture right after MetalFX submits the frame, which causes it to revert to native rendering. Is there a recommended way to persist or rebind the MetalFX output texture when using HDRP on iOS? Unity doesn’t appear to support MetalFX in the Editor either: Thanks!

Since macOS 15.3.2, we have observed that when another window is moved near the App Store's install button, the button disappears. We have attached a related video in the Feedback submission here https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/20444423 Our application overlays a transparent, watermark-window on top of the system window, which causes the install button in the App Store to be hidden when a user attempts to install an application.Could you advise on how to avoid this issue?

Is there any support pr plans for support for for raytraced reflections in RealityKit on the Vision Pro M5? I cannot find any documentation regarding this topic.

I’m trying to use EXR lightmaps to overlay baked lighting on top of a base texture in the RCP Shader Graph. When I multiply an EXR image set to Image(float) with an 8-bit base texture, the output becomes Image(float). I can’t connect that to the BaseColor input on the UnlitSurface node, since it only accepts Color3f. I expected to be able to use a Convert node between the Multiply node and the BaseColor input, but when I do that, the result becomes black and white instead of the expected outcome: the EXR multiplied with the base texture using a baseline value of 1, where values below 1 in the EXR would darken the base texture and values above 1 would brighten it. Is there any documentation on how to properly overlay a 32-bit EXR lightmap in the RCP Shader Graph, or is the black-and-white output from the Convert node a bug?

In the process of using ARKit's image tracking, we found that different images have significant differences in recognizability. How can we judge the quality of this image in ARKit's image tracking for this situation?

In a Unity game, if the assetBundle.Unloadinterface is called very frequently during normal gameplay, it can cause the game application's screen to freeze, although the background music continues to play normally. This issue only occurs on iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 models, with no problems on lower-version phones. How can this problem be resolved?

在正常游戏中，如果非常频繁的调用assetBundle.Unload接口，会导致游戏应用画面卡死，但是游戏的背景音乐仍然正常播放。这类问题仅发生在iphone16 和iphone17的手机上，低版本的手机没有任何问题，请问该如何解决这个问题？

Hello, Question re: iOS RealityView postProcess. I've got a working postProcess kernel and I'd like to add some depth-based effects to it. Theoretically I should be able to just do: encoder.setTexture(context.sourceDepthTexture, index: 1) and then in the kernel: texture2d<float, access::read> depthIn [[texture(1)]] ... outTexture.write(depthIn.read(gid), gid); And I consistently see all black rendered to the view. The postProcess shader works, so that's not the issue. It just seems to not be receiving actual depth information. (If I set a breakpoint at the encoder setTexture step, I can see preview the color texture of the scene, but the context's depthTexture looks like all NaN / blank.) I've looked at all the WWDC samples, but they include ARView for all the depth sample code, which has a different set of configuration options than RealityView. So far I haven't seen anywhere to explicitly tell RealityView "include the depth information". So I'm not sure if I'm missing something there. It appears that there is indeed a depth texture being passed, but it looks blank. Is there a working example somewhere that we can reference?

Hi, I'm Beginner with Metal 4 and Model I/O 🥺. I can render simple models with just one mesh, but when I try to render models with SubMeshes, nothing shows up on screen. Can anyone help me figure out how to properly render models with multiple submeshes? I think I'm not iterating through them correctly or maybe missing some buffers setup. Here's what I have so far: https://www.icloud.com.cn/iclouddrive/0a6x_NLwlWy-herPocExZ8g3Q#LoadModel

After watching WWDC 2025 session "Combine Metal 4 machine learning and graphics", I have decided to give it a shot to integrate the latest MTL4MachineLearningCommandEncoder to my existing render pipeline. After a lot of trial and errors, I managed to set up the pipeline and have the app compiled. However, I am now stuck on creating a MTLLibrary with .mtlpackage. Here is the code I have to create a MTLLibrary according the WWDC session https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/262/?time=550: let coreMLFilePath = bundle.path(forResource: "my_model", ofType: "mtlpackage")! let coreMLURL = URL(string: coreMLFilePath)! do { metalDevice.makeLibrary(URL: coreMLURL) } catch { print("error: \(error)") } With the above code, I am getting error: Error Domain=MTLLibraryErrorDomain Code=1 "Invalid metal package" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Invalid metal package} What is the correct way to create a MTLLibrary with .mtlpackage? Do I see this error because the .mtlpackage I am using is incorrect? How should I go with debugging this? I'd really appreciate if I could get some help on this as I have been stuck with it for some time now. Thanks in advance!
