• Longplay for #visionOS is approved. I considered charging separately for the immersive experience, but I just don’t feel comfortable charging for something that I can’t support due to the US-only rollout. So it’s just part of the same universal purchase. Anyone got a USDZ of a tip jar that I can put in it? 🙃

  #indiedev

• Great to see so many folks jump on the Vision Pro preorders. The thing I am most looking forward to is developers and designers being able to openly share their insights and what they learn from using the device and experimenting with different ideas. (And I hope the #visionOS labs continue, especially for anyone outside the US.)

  And, yes, part of my hope for the labs to continue is so that I can occasionally immersive myself in this: https://indieapps.space/@longplay/111784865137236962

• Upside of many big companies not providing native app support for #visionOS could be that #WebKit gains support for hover effects for SVG elements that are annotated with cursor: pointer. Some love for FB13310281 please. Just saying. ❤️

• I always like to describe @longplay 's UI as an "album wall". Nowhere is that more accurate than in #visionOS.

  

• How cool would it be if #visionOS came with 3D extensions for Swift Charts.

• How to declare SPM packages that only support #visionOS:

  platforms: [.custom("xros", versionString: “1.0”)]
  
  #iOSDev #swift #SwiftPM

• One of my favourite features of SPM integration in Xcode is how easy it is to replace the official checkout with a local copy. Comes in very handy today to patch up libraries that don't yet compile for #visionOS and need a bit of #if !os(xrOS) sprinkled around everywhere.

  

• Great to see the "Hello World" sample app being released alongside the #visionOS SDK. It's the perfect starting point to what I want to explore with @maparoni.

  Pretty sweet to get the basics running quickly. Now onto lifting that globe out of the 2D window and into 3D…

  

  Woohoo. I'm a 3D app developer. I see a whole new dimension… of bugs headed my way.

  So much progress in so little time: 3D globe with live data – here earthquakes in the last month.

  #visionOS #iOSdev #BuildInPublic

  The new RealityView is super cool to bring SwiftUI views into 3D, but it's an area where the documentation really can be improved. It’s hard to figure out what to do if things don't quite work the way you expect them to. Can we have another round of #RealityKit labs, please?

  #visionOS

• Do I interpret that right that in order to use volumetric windows or "full spaces" in an iOS app, it needs to use the SwiftUI app life cycle and can't use UIKit-managed scenes?

  #WWDC23 #visionOS

  Confirmed in a lab: In order to use volumetric windows or the full immersion mode in a #visionOS app, you need to adapt the SwiftUI app life-cycle as that hasn't been ported (yet?) to UIKit-scene.
