iOS 17 Safari will not successfully open .reality (Reality Composer) files from a weblink. For example, this code works fine on iOS 16: The same code generates this message on iOS 17 after clicking on the link: "Object requires a newer version of iOS." QuickLook fails to render anything. I validated that the .reality file works fine when opened from iOS 17 Files app, so it's not a damaged file.

I have various .reality files published on a website as part of a learning product, which I deployed Feb. 2023 using the latest Reality Composer at the time. Users informed me that none of the .reality files will open on iOS 17, which I have confirmed. They still open fine on iOS 16. On iOS 17 the QuickLook viewer says "Object requires a newer version of iOS." What gives? Did Apple deprecated .reality, or are these designed only to work on one version of iOS only?
