I’d support this but maybe more practical than making specific examples, it would be awesome if you could “tag” anything which also works on iOS, macOS, and/or tvOS… since we have RealityView on all three of these with tvOS 26.

Here is a method to scale RealityView content based on the size of a Volume.

Today I learned that a GeometryProxy3D will trigger an update to RealityView when the user moves the a Volume. Not just when they resize it, when they move it. I added a condition to only apply scaling changes over a given threshold.

Have you ever had a SwiftUI view in a window or volume that gets blocked by 3D objects or RealityView content? The new breakthroughEffect modifier in visionOS 26 solves this by making sure content stays visible.

Posted a new open source mini-app last night: Dice Roll
Shows a technique for determining which way is “up” for a cube in RealityView on macOS, visionOS, and iOS.
The key code is:
die.convert(direction: [0,1,0], from: baseEntity)
returns “up direction” for the die cube

Having a bit more fun with custom layouts in Lab 068. This is all SwiftUI, no RealityView needed.
✅ Custom Layouts to position items
✅ Model3D and spatialOverlay for each item
✅ Simple rotation and offset modifiers to adjust the layout in 3D

ARUnderstanding 18 can be linked on all platforms. v18 properly loads visionOS 26 captured HandAnchors.
ARUnderstanding 26 can be linked by Xcode 26, and provides the HandAnchor.Fidelity attribute.
Visualizations supported on all platforms supporting RealityView (yay tvOS 26).

Figured out the problem with memory usage on my #RealityKit iOS app! I have a list of entities a user can add to their scene, and I was using a RealityView for each one to provide a preview of what that entity looked like. However, apparently the performance on RealityView is… not great…

We have a new modifier that controls frame and alignment for RealityView.
realityViewSizingBehavior has options for flexible, centered, and fixed size.

Working on a new tile selection screen for the terrain editing workflow. SwiftUI makes me appreciate the seamless design in the apps I use everyday! I think I might be overusing the RealityView component, since it seems to be impacting performance. Might need to do more profiling tomorrow. #iosdev

Finally figured out why my camera input was getting blocked in my ARView!! Now I can actually see my model train maps in my space. RealityView and ARView absolutely do not play nice 😅. Feel like I’ve been working this bug for awhile with not much to show, until today. #buildinpublic #iosdev #ar

I ended up projecting position to a SwiftUI View layered on top of my RealityView in a ZStack, then I update positions during physics update calls

Not sure if I’m missing something, but it looks like ViewAttachmentComponent only works on visionOS.
Any ideas for the best way to attach a SwiftUI View to an Entity in a RealityView on other platforms (iOS, iPadOS)?

If a user makes a Drag Gesture on the screen housing the RealityView, it’ll update the rotation of the map Entity accordingly! This was surprisingly difficult to get working 😅 and still has a problem where if the entity rotates 180 on one axis, the controls get flipped. Whoops. #buildinpublic

I didn't expect it to work, but I had to at least try!
RealityKit is not supported in Widgets. Using RealityView crashes on run, with no errors.
It would be so neat if it was though, even if it didn't run a frame loop. Portal scenes in widgets would be such a great addition to the Shared Space.

This was originally a RealityView with the 3d map tiles directly add to the wrist view, but this would occlude the controls. By using a PortalComponent the view keeps the steroscopic depth, but appears sunken into the panel. Avoding control occlusion.

I’m exhausted but the projects I’m working on are both challenging in a good way! Learning a lot about limitations of visionOS 2 I never knew existed. Especially regarding View attachements in a RealityView 😅 A lot is not available or not working well such as TabView for example!

Preview of my latest open source for visionOS, macOS, and iOS: EntityView
Why
1. Multiple overlapping RealityViews on visionOS aren’t really possible on iOS and macOS
2. Combining several clusters of Entities in the same RealityView doesn’t have a good pattern
What would you want to add to this?

Took me a while to figure it out but I managed to create a 3D text that takes a size of a font in point then convert it to the correct size in the context of a RealityView 😅
Will be much easier to use 3D Texts on top of SwiftUI Windows with this 😁

Since discovering that I can bring .STL files directly in to RealityView with ModelEntity, I’ve started using OpenSCAD for some of my layout thinking. This “programmer” style tool suits my thought process better for laying out and manipulating 3D elements.

Today, to hopefully save other developers some time, some bugs / workarounds I found over the last days in visionOS.
When using a RealityView inside a LazyHGrid, the window / volume does not get dismissed correctly, leading to memory leaks -> use HStack instead, FB16930710.
