Reality Composer Pro lives in a tense intersection given its users' wildly different technical backgrounds and expectations. Many have expressed frustration, especially about the obscure and silent errors. To better understand the difficulties and decisions that produced RCP, I'm creating a clone of it: https://elkraneo.com/deconstructing-reality-composer-pro-intro/
Deconstructing Reality Composer Pro (Intro)

Reality Composer Pro prioritizes the transition of elements over direct emphasis on creation and debugging tasks. It's a portal where you transport raw, wild formats to more manageable, controlled, static-defined files that can be represented on RealityKit.

Who else got this email in 2024? I think about 600 devs and companies were there with native apps on day one.

Apple Vision Pro was released two years ago today! I was there on day one with an app and I've been building ever since.

Later today, the Step Into Vision community is hosting an event to look back at the last two years and to consider the path ahead.

A simple solution to one of the most common issues I see in visionOS apps: Swapping between a window and an immersive space.

✨ Observable + ScenePhase ✨

✅ Launch with a window
✅ Enter a space, close the window
✅ Exit the space, reopen the window

Understanding these simple concepts will unlock a lot features for managing windows and space.
