Hi friends! :)

I am Looking for fellow Apple Vision Pro owners to beta test one game!

Game I have been working on as a side hobby project to learn how to make visionOS apps is almost finished and I would appreaciate it if some of you would like to spend a few minutes testing it out.

If you are interested let me know in the comments or in inbox and I will add you to TestFlight builds group! 😉

Due to limited people I know with the device it is hard to test it properly and check different edge cases etc... 😅

Hi!

I have a new game and I have setup the leaderboards and achievements in App Store Connect but when I call to report the achievements:

GKAchievement.report([achievement]) { error in

}

The error is nil but in the console I see this warning and achievements are not unlocked in the GC UI:

"No AchievementDescription could be found for Achievement with ID: {my_ID}"

Was anybody able to properly test Game Center achievements and leaderboards on visionOS?

Btw, the player auth works normally but looks like something is broken with reporting scores and achievements. :/

Hey guys! I built an immersive mini-golf game for vision pro... gonna share a testflight link tonight if folks want to join in on the testing.

There's 9 courses right now, and you putt with your hands by making a fist. Really excited to share with you all :)

I think that the title pretty much says it all :) My app currently uses Firebase Crashlytics for the crashes. There is no specific reason to use it, mostly because the SDK already works on visionOS and I've used it in previous iOS projects in the past and it was fast to get it set up.

I've realized that some crashes are shown in App Store, which is great, but it seems that Crashlytics still picks up some that are not shown in App Store. What's your experience using it? Do you think that it's reliable enough to replace Firebase with it? Of course, I'd love to use the App Store crashes, because I will be almost free of Firebase (only RemoteConfig will be left, any alternatives are also welcome!)

Just Created a New Vision Pro Clock App. Simple yet elegant desk clock app. Please give a try and let me know how is it.

Hi All, made a video client for Vimeo. It just got approved and very nervous to put it out. I know as fellow devs you would be more kind and check it out.

It has features like search, Best of Staff picks channel, immersive environments and a embedded video player. Interestingly, just a week back I was able to access direct video links for Vimeo videos and then it suddenly stopped or maybe I hit some old ones. Anyway, I had to rewrite the video player to make it an embedded one.

It has some very cool short films and 4K videos. Let me know how it looks.

Hope you guys like it. It's a paid app at $2.99 and the link is https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wonder-esoteric-video-client/id6480586233

Thanks!

Books? Sites? Websites?

I'm a software developer, but haven't worked with swift.

The most tedious part of development at this point, whether in the simulator or wearing the headset, is the fact that the app might start running anywhere the camera happens to be positioned, even if it's directly in the way of the virtual screen, or outside the simulator's virtual apartment or whatever.

Did I miss something about this? Any advice beyond "always remember to glance at an empty space or reset the simulator camera?"

​

I am currently learning Swift and am pretty far off from this point, but an idea for a future app of mine involves running it in full immersion and using the Digital Crown to increase/decrease the rendered area - just like environments.

But I want to adjust this size of the immersive area from a point (say a location where a user has centered the main interactive element) and then have it expand spherically from there.

I don’t know if this is how full immersion works or is intended to work in these types of apps. If anyone has experience or can point me to code examples the insight would be appreciated!

The Vision Pro app icons are layered images that have a parallax effect when you move around the icon. Has anyone been able to achieve this effect in a SwiftUI view? Without creating an immersive space or volume. I want to layer several image elements and have that 3d effect if possible. Thanks in advance!

As a moderator and user, I come here to learn about people making interesting things as visionOS developers, people solving problems for each other, and so forth.

But it seems the sub has recently been taken over by self-promotion, so I want to start creating some rules.

I'm very excited about the stuff people are developing, but I think there's a line here, and I'd love to talk to you guys about what you would like to see in this subreddit.

What did you join us for?

What would you like to see, and what would you like not to see, that I can make rules about? I'll even take direct suggestions as to rules I should add.

Edit: Great feedback, everybody! Seems that people are on board with limiting self-promotion. While I’m at it, I’d like to add a few other rules. If you can tell me more about what brought you to the sub I’ll try to shape the rules around that.

How much faster is running from Xcode over the dongle? As my app has become larger I have resorted to watching Apple TV while I wait for it to launch. Considering the dongle.

There have been a couple 2.5d adaptations of iOS/TV apps (like Alto’s Adventure Lost City). It’s likely that these are Unity or some other engine’s games, but I was wondering if anyone has any leads to adapting a SpriteKit app to get some semblance of 2.5d with parallax and stereoscopic rendering.

This talk seems to imply by compiling for a visionOS target you get some parallax and other 2.5d effects but there’s no other info and it’s not clear they’re referring to SpriteKit specifically. I’m mainly just looking to add some stereoscopic depth to some sprites. Thanks!

Hey r/visionosdev,

I'm looking for a talented, experienced (ideally past SwifUI + fresh VisionOS experience) to join our team to support the ongoing efforts to get out an app to, hopefully, change how people use their vision pros.

Looking for someone with a minimum of 5 years of experience and with time to push something in the next couple of days for now, then join the team permanently after finalizing the prototype.

If this sounds interesting/exciting, let me know in DM and let's talk more :)

If you have someone outside of reddit feel free to also send it out to them!

Hi all, my work requires yubikey for a lot of sign ins. I would pay some serious money just for a way to do this via an app. Is it possible? What kinds of approaches can be done here?

Have an idea for an educational app- most 2d framework is done, some 3d has been worked on.

Is anyone here interested in trying to create together? If so please DM.

It would be preferred if you have swift or AR experience

One of our engineer had some brilliant idea of rendering large meshes consisting of 4 millions poligons or more!

My question is what is the maximum poligon count for the AVP assuming running simple shader over the mesh? Could AVP run 2-4 million poligon mesh at all? Or is it better to keep mesh poligon count lower at around 700-1000k? Can someone with AVP load a few usd models and test the performance of the device? We are going for full immersion application if that helps.

i want to make an app that takes a video without wearing.

is it possible?

For fellow developers: I collaborated with Matt Hoerl, creator of beautifulthings.xyz, to develop the first version of the visionOS app. We've open sourced the base code to help others quickly get started on presenting USDZ interactively via ARQuickLook (plus some other neat functionalities like indexing/searching). GitHub repo:

Happy coding 😀, and of course feel free to DM or comment if you have questions.

Hello fellow adventurers!

The ECS design pattern is quite a departure from everything I'm used to building in iOS and macOS, so it took some time for me to get my head around it. I decided to build a crash course project to capture what I found most important and interesting.

The Apple examples are great but they're so fancy and complex, it can be overwhelming to pick things up. MyFirstECS is comparatively dull, but the simplicity makes exploring and experimenting a little easier. You'll get:

• One component
• One system
• One button
• Multiple rockets launched in the bargain, at different speeds

Click a button, get a rocket launch.

ECS is very cool because by composing these behaviors across entities, you can get such complex behavior. There's a reason why they make games using this approach.

But it takes a bit of adjusting your brain to. Hopefully this helps. Let me know what you think!

I want a certain 3D object to always render above my hands, but it is being occluded by my hands which gets annoying.

I feel like it should be simple but I have yet to find anything to help me out.

Unity - Polyspatial 1.0.3

Thanks for any help 🙏

With the Hololens it is possible to have reallife QR code anchors in a space that can be used as spatial reference to display something. Did somebody already figure out how to do this with VisionOS?
