What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers implement ARKit workflows on visionOS by managing ARKitSession lifecycles and data providers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• ARKitSession setup and lifecycle management for immersive experiences in visionOS.
• Data provider selection (world tracking, plane detection, hand tracking, scene reconstruction, etc.), authorization handling, and anchor processing.
• Bridge to RealityKit to render anchors and content; debugging ARKit data flow across providers.

Quick Start

1. Add NSWorldSensingUsageDescription and NSHandsTrackingUsageDescription to Info.plist as needed.
2. Ensure the experience runs in a Full Space (ARKit data is unavailable in Shared Space).
3. Create a long-lived ARKitSession and the data providers you need.
4. Request authorization for provider-required data types before running the session.
5. Run the session with your providers and observe anchorUpdates streams.
6. Map anchors to RealityKit entities and keep state in a model layer.
7. Observe ARKitSession.events for authorization changes and errors.
8. Stop the session and cancel tasks when leaving the immersive space.
