AVPlayer not playing well with Dropbox
So I have an app that has been around for years now and recently with the iOS 15 update it's support to play videos hosted on Dropbox has stopped working. What I do is query dropbox for the temporary link. Then I create a AVPlayerItem and give it to the player which is inside of a OpenGL view, since it is a VR player. Then it should just work, but right now i'm getting the error Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11828 \"Cannot Open\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=This media format is not supported., NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot Open, NSUnderlyingError=0x280597990 {Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-12847 Now i've tried to troubleshoot this, but I can Download the file from inside the app (not with the player) and play the file locally. Place the same file on a UPNP server and it plays (Does not transcode) If I run the app on Mac OS as an Ipad app, it works. But I suspect something with running on a mac makes it play different. So i'm kind of lost, it feels like iOS 15 is acting strange on the iPhone, but on the Mav it's fine.

CMMotionManager Device Motion Wobbles under iOS 14
I have an old iOS app that doesn't use GoogleVR, instead it rolls it's own VR framework, but once I upgraded to iOS 14 the data coming from CMMotionManager is very wobbly, or shaky, even if I place the phone flat on a table. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to use a different way to access the data? I've seen the Official Google VR team state they had to fix a similar issue, but I'm unable to find their changes, since it is buried inside compiled code for their Unity Plugin. The code in question is at: https://github.com/mgatelabs/SCN-VR/blob/master/scn-vr/CoreMotionTracker.m But the main parts would be as follows But i'm starting the process with: [self.motionManager startDeviceMotionUpdatesUsingReferenceFrame: CMAttitudeReferenceFrameXArbitraryZVertical]; And then i'm reading and transforming the data like this: CMQuaternion currentAttitude_noQ = self.motionManager.deviceMotion.attitude.quaternion; GLKQuaternion baseRotation = GLKQuaternionMake(currentAttitude_noQ.x, currentAttitude_noQ.y, currentAttitude_noQ.z, currentAttitude_noQ.w); GLKQuaternion rotationFix = GLKQuaternionMakeWithAngleAndAxis(-M_PI_2, 0, 0, 1); if (self.landscape) {     self.orientation = GLKQuaternionMultiply(baseRotation, rotationFix);   } else {     self.orientation = GLKQuaternionMultiply(rotationFix, baseRotation);   } And it is all wobbly, which isn't that great for VR.

Draw WKWebView into OpenGL Texture
I'm trying to figure out how to display a Web Browser inside my iOS VR app (Obj-c, SceneKit and raw OpenGL), and the part i'm not fully understanding is how to get the WKWebView to draw it's content into a Pixel Buffer of some sort, so I can use the speed of CVOpenGLESTextureCacheCreateTextureFromImage to convert the pixel data into a OpenGl Texture quickly/efficently and display it on a floating surface.I'm already doing something simular with the video portion of my app, but it has a AVPlayerItemVideoOutput, which produced the pixel buffer, but I can't figure out how to massage the CALayer into a Buffer so I can convert it into a texture to then draw in opengl.I know it has something to do with drawLayer:(Layer) ,(Context), but searching online hasn't been very fruitful.And i'm not using SceneKit like you would assume, the app was built before GVR for Scenekit was a thing, so every part of VR is handled manually (scenekit to textures, textures to opengl for Left/Right eye distortion mesh).
