I work on a team that provides an SDK for another game to handle various tasks like authentication. They are experiencing a case where devices using iOS 17 are failing to authenticate with GameCenter, receiving the message "The requested operation could not be completed because local player has not been authenticated." We imagine this is because they still have some setup to finish regarding GameCenter itself, and we're working with them to take care of that.
However, on iOS 18, their app ends up waiting indefinitely for GameCenter authentication messages that it never receives. That's where we're puzzled. We expect them to have the same outcome regardless of OS version.
We initiate GameCenter authentication by setting an authenticateHandler after some initial application setup. The handler has code to account for UI, errors, and successful authentication.
On iOS 17, it's clear that it's getting called as expected because they receive an indication that the player isn't authenticated. But on iOS 18, it looks like the same handler code on iOS 18 isn't being called at all. Are there differences in how iOS 18 interacts with the authenticationHandler that we somehow aren't accounting for? Or is there potentially something else that we're doing incorrectly that is manifesting only on iOS 18?
Here's a simplified version of our login function code (in Obj-C++). There is no OS-specific code, and the job that owns this function does stay in scope until after authentication is complete.
void beginLogin()
{
// Snip: Check if the user is already logged in.
// Snip: Prevent multiple concurrent calls to this function.
auto authenticateHandler = ^(UIViewController* gcViewController, NSError* error)
{
if (gcViewController != nil)
{
// Snip: Display the UI
}
else if (error != nil)
{
// Snip: Handle the error.
}
else
{
if ([[GKLocalPlayer localPlayer] isAuthenticated])
{
// Snip: Handle successful authentication.
}
else
{
// Snip: Handle other case.
}
}
};
[[GKLocalPlayer localPlayer] setAuthenticateHandler: authenticateHandler];
}

Issue
When an Entity with a ViewAttachmentComponent is:
disabled using isEnabled = false
removed using removeFromParent()
and then enabled or added back again, the attached SwiftUI view is rendered correctly, but tap interactions stop working.
Specifically:
Button actions inside the attached view do not fire
TapGesture closures on child views do not respond
Expected Behavior
Tap interactions inside the attached view should continue to work after the Entity is re-enabled or re-added.
Actual Behavior
After being disabled or removed once, all tap interactions stop responding.
Comparison
When displaying the same SwiftUI view using RealityViewAttachments, this issue does not occur.
Removing and re-displaying the attachment still allows taps to work correctly.
Reproduction
Attached sample code reproduces the issue:
A RealityView with an Entity that has a ViewAttachmentComponent
The attached SwiftUI view contains a Toggle
The toggle updates isEnabled on the Entity
After toggling off and on, tap interactions stop responding
Environment
Xcode 26
visionOS 26
Question
Is this expected behavior of ViewAttachmentComponent, or a bug?
Is there a recommended way to temporarily hide or disable an Entity with ViewAttachmentComponent without breaking tap interactions?
import SwiftUI
import RealityKit
struct GestureTestView: View {
@State var sampleEnabled = true
@State var sampleEntity: Entity?
var body: some View {
RealityView { contents, attachments in
// After deleting and re-displaying it, taps no longer respond.
let sample = Entity(components: ViewAttachmentComponent(rootView: SampleView()))
// Executed successfully
//let sample = attachments.entity(for: "SampleView")!
contents.add(sample)
sample.position = [0, 1.2, -1]
sampleEntity = sample
let toggleButton = Entity(components: ViewAttachmentComponent(rootView: ToggleButtonView(isOn: $sampleEnabled)))
contents.add(toggleButton)
toggleButton.position = [0, 1, -1]
} update: { _, _ in
// run update closure
print(sampleEnabled)
// update sample entity enable
sampleEntity?.isEnabled = sampleEnabled
} attachments: {
Attachment(id: "SampleView") {
SampleView()
}
}
}
}

Hi everyone,
I’m currently learning about ParticleEmitterComponentParticleEmitterComponent and exploring the sample app provided in the Simulating particles in your visionOS app documentation.
In the sample app, when I set the EmitterPreset to fireworks from the settings panel on the left side of the window and choose SystemImage, I noticed two issues:
The image applied to mainEmitter appears clipped or cropped.
The image on spawnedEmitter does not update to the selected SystemImage.
What I want to achieve:
Apply the same SystemImage to both mainEmittermainEmitter and spawnedEmitterspawnedEmitter so that it displays correctly without clipping.
Remove the animation that changes the size of spawnedEmitterspawnedEmitter over time and keep it at a constant size.
Could someone explain which properties should be adjusted to achieve this behavior? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
after launching a nearby exoerience on quick look or inside our app, all the user in the group watch sometimes teh model blinking abd becoming transparet...
... just one user hasnt the issue, either the one who launched shareplay or the user who force align the immersive space in front
weird
The simplest realityView (content, attachments in ...
causes Contextual closure expects 1 argument but 2 were used in closure body. I have checked every example and i cannot understand why i get this error regardless of any content. Note: i have added Attachment(id: "test") to the attachment closure and get Attachment not is scope.
imported both realityKit and SwiftUI.
I'm using RealityView in my iOS game mxied with SwiftUI. For the following 2 example usages, the simulator will only render the first RealityView, and the second one is either super laggy or show a black model. Running on the real device is all good, just simualtor has this issue.
Have a TabView and each tab has a RealityView.
Have a root view and detail view connected via a push navigation, both root and detail have a RealityView.
In the Simulator, the second RealityView is going to be very choppy and basically unusable, but on a real iPhone everything looks great.
Is this a known simulator issue or I did something bad?

How can one match the walls and floor of a given CapturedRoom ?
The transform.eulerAngles of a floor z & y are always 0 !
And the polygons seems to have a different orientation than the walls.
So how to figure out the rotation and match the one from the walls ?
We used below method to resize image while compress the image,
Below method is correct or need to do the correction in method or "CGBitmapContextCreate"
-(UIImage *)resizeImage:(UIImage *)anImage width:(int)width height:(int)height
{
CGImageRef imageRef = [anImage CGImage];
CGImageAlphaInfo alphaInfo = CGImageGetAlphaInfo(imageRef);
if (alphaInfo == kCGImageAlphaNone)
alphaInfo = kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipLast;
CGContextRef bitmap = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL, width, height, CGImageGetBitsPerComponent(imageRef), 4 * width, CGImageGetColorSpace(imageRef), alphaInfo);
CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), imageRef);
CGImageRef ref = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(bitmap);
UIImage *result = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:ref];
CGContextRelease(bitmap);
CGImageRelease(ref);
return result;
}
I am trying to install the Game Porting Toolkit 2.1 according to the Readme file provided with the toolkit.
When I run the following command:
WINEPREFIX=~/my-game-prefix brew --prefix game-porting-toolkit/bin/wine64 winecfg
I get an error message:
zsh: no such file or directory: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit/bin/wine64
I don't know how to resolve this.
When I type in the command which brew , I get the path
/usr/local/bin/brew
What am I doing wrong?
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?
Hi,
Introducing Swift Concurrency to my Metal app has been a bit challenging as Swift Concurrency is limited by the cooperative thread pool.
GPU work is obviously not CPU bound and can block forward moving progress, especially when using waitUntilCompleted on the command buffer. For concurrent render work this has the potential of under utilizing the CPU and even creating dead locks.
My question is, what is the Metal's teams general recommendation when it comes to concurrency? It seems to me that Dispatch or OperationQueues are still the preferred way for Metal bound tasks in order to gain maximum performance?
To integrate with Swift Concurrency my idea is to use continuations that kick off render jobs via Dispatch or Queues? Would this be the best solution to bridge async tasks with Metal work?
Thanks!
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?

Hi,
I have an Unity game. I need to have multiple App Icons for my game for it to be able to be recognized in different countries.
In other words, is it possible to have an iOS app in which the App Icon changes based on device locale/language?
On Android this is possible using Unity Localization package "com.unity.localization"

Hello,
MacOS 26 Betas are limiting games (noticeably, games that use java) to the native display of the MacBook Pro (120hz). Even connecting an external display this is not changing. I have submitted a bug report, but I have not had any responses to it yet. I am looking to see if anyone may have an answer or fix to this issue.
Thanks!

Problem Summary
After upgrading to iOS 26.1 and 26.2, I'm experiencing a particle positioning bug in RealityKit where ParticleEmitterComponent particles render at an incorrect offset relative to their parent entity. This behavior does not occur on iOS 18.6.2 or earlier versions, suggesting a regression introduced in the newer OS builds.
Environment Details
Operating System: iOS 26.1 & iOS 26.2
Framework: RealityKit
Xcode Version: 16.2 (16C5032a)
Expected vs. Actual Behavior
Expected: Particles should render at the position of the entity to which the ParticleEmitterComponent is attached, matching the behavior on iOS 18.6.2 and earlier.
Actual: Particles appear away from their parent entity, creating a visual misalignment that breaks the intended AR experience.
Steps to Reproduce
Create or open an AR application with RealityKit that uses particle components
Attach a ParticleEmitterComponent to an entity via a custom system
Run the application on iOS 26.1 or iOS 26.2
Observe that particles render at an offset position away from the entity
Minimal Code Example
Here's the setup from my test case:
Custom Component & System:
struct SparkleComponent4: Component {}
class SparkleSystem4: System {
static let query = EntityQuery(where: .has(SparkleComponent4.self))
required init(scene: Scene) {}
func update(context: SceneUpdateContext) {
for entity in context.scene.performQuery(Self.query) {
// Only add once
if entity.components.has(ParticleEmitterComponent.self) { continue }
var newEmitter = ParticleEmitterComponent()
newEmitter.mainEmitter.color = .constant(.single(.red))
entity.components.set(newEmitter)
}
}
}
AR Setup:
let material = SimpleMaterial(color: .gray, roughness: 0.15, isMetallic: true)
let model = Entity()
model.components.set(ModelComponent(mesh: boxMesh, materials: [material]))
model.components.set(SparkleComponent4())
model.position = [0, 0.05, 0]
model.name = "MyCube"
let anchor = AnchorEntity(.plane(.horizontal, classification: .any, minimumBounds: [0.2, 0.2]))
anchor.addChild(model)
arView.scene.addAnchor(anchor)
Questions for the Community
Has anyone else encountered this particle positioning issue after updating to iOS 26.1/26.2?
Are there known workarounds or configuration changes to ParticleEmitterComponent that restore correct positioning?
Is this a confirmed bug, or could there be a change in coordinate system handling or transform inheritance that I'm missing?
Additional Information
I've already submitted this issue via Feedback Assistant(FB21346746)
Hi all,
I've developed some code that enables an arcball camera interaction with my scene. I've done this using components and systems. The implementation feels a bit messy as I've got gesture code on my realityView, and then a bunch of other code that uses those gesture inputs in my component and system.
Is there a demo app, or some example code that shows a nice way to encapsulate these things in to one item for custom cameras, something like Apple's .realityViewCameraControls(.orbit)
If not can anyone recommend an approach to take?
