Comment on Does the Apple Vision Pro have GPS?
After watching the session, I believe the device has only WIFI-based location access, but can improve this to precise location data if an iPhone is connected. However, I am wondering how this deals with heading, i.e. if it also takes the compass into account. For location-based AR, this is crucial. Deriving compass data from the phone would be tricky, because you would have to take the relative position between the Vision Pro and the phone into account as well. In realtime.

Comment on AVFoundation on visionOS?
You say: "Apps will not have access to cameras.", but the cited text says "many of these cameras are not available for app use." This gives room for at least one camera to be usable. So my question is: Will it be possible to capture a photo or a video using the Vision Pro? I would mainly need this for capturing the real world, without any AR content.

Comment on Background uploads with NSURLSession
I am doing the very same right now (replacing the S3 TransferUtililty with my own implementation, since they buried it under the whole Amplify stuff). I am pretty far with my implementation, but I am wondering how to deal with app suspension and relaunches. Since this is not really documented anywhere: can you pls share more details on this, especially what happens if uploads fail in these cases? Would I have to retry everything myself, or does the system handle that?

Comment on Is it possible to develop apps for Vision Pro on an Intel Mac?
Thanks, Quinn. The fun thing is: The visionOS simulator DID work on my Intel Mac, but not in combination with Unity. AND, it stopped working after I upgraded to macOS Sonoma, even when I used the very same configuration as on Ventura. I just wanted to try at least taking the "native route" (i.e. without Unity), but now I am blocked again. This is pretty disappointing. And I don't even know if Sonoma actually is the problem or not :/
