[UE 5.5] Can't install VisionOS support on 5.5

Hi, I’m currently working on a VR app and I updated UE to the new 5.5 version. I saw that the VisionOS platform support can be installed now directly from the Options menu in Epic Game Launcher, but I don’t see it. I can see iOS, Android, Linux and TvOS but not VisionOS. I tried the beta version from Github but I had some issues with it so I would like to install the new version.

Thanks

Hi @lllBologlll! Let’s see if we can sort this out!

If you are following the VisionOS platform support, then the plugin should be ready to deploy on your engine, as seen here:

If this is not the case, please review this guide, step by step, to ensure your setup is correct. Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for your reply, I don’t see this plugin. I only see “Apple Vision API” and it is enabled.

EDIT : Btw I’m on Windows, but I don’t think this is a problem as I’ve always been working on my iOS app on Windows with Unreal connected to my Mac with ssh. And on the UE5.4 beta on Windows, the Open XR VisionOS plugin was working.

Understood! That is most likely due Open XR VisionOS not being included by default in your current 5.5 project. When creating the project, please make sure that the required installation options are enabled at launch.


Aditionally, working in a native Mac environment will yield the best results for this setup. Please check Epic’s support guide for Apple Vision Pro.

This is my issue, I don’t have the option to check Vision OS in the options

Thank you for the clarification!

If the option is not showing up, then the current version of either iOS or Xcode in your system do not correspond with their requirements.

The pre-requisites for this setup are:

  • Mac with Apple silicon m1/m2/m3 (to be sorted in your Windows iOS app)
  • Xcode 15.3 or above with visionOS support installed

Latest version for Xcode can be found at Apple Dev site. If after installing both iOS and VisionOS support from it, the issue persists, we will investigate further for other causes.

You would need to install Unreal Engine on a MacOS platform to have that option. I encountered the same thing on my windows PC as well.

Yes I tried today on my Mac and the option is there. The problem is the performances of my Mac are limited compared to my PC.
