Polyspatial Build Support for Linux

Unity Engine

Hi PolySpatial Team,

We need Linux Support for compiling Unity visionOS Builds via CI/CD Pipeline. Currently only Silicon Macs are possible.
When is it possible to provide visionOS Build Support for Linux?

Best regards
David

Hi David! I’m afraid we don’t have any plans to support building visionOS apps on Linux. As far as I know, building any application for visionOS (or for iOS) requires using Xcode on macOS. You might want to look into cloud-based options for performing builds on Apple Silicon machines.

Hi @kapolka ,

Thank you for the reply.

Let me clarify my question better, for iOS you can build aswell with Windows, Linux machine at least the unity xcode project which will contain all the Il2CPP binaries and unityframework (C++). Obviously you need then an Mac machine (another pipeline) to compile Xcode to an iOS App, since Apple provides support for Xcode for Windows, Linux.

So there will no build support for compiling just the Unity build on Linux or Windows which outputs the Xcode project with UnityFramework/Il2cpp binaries?

Do you have Unity iOS support installed on the CI/CD machine that is trying to build your visionOS Xcode project?

@joejo yes we have iOS Support installed on the linux build vms which are running the unity build commands and tests, but since their is currently no VisionOS Build Module for Linux we can’t try out.
The visionOS/iOS Xcode Build happens on a separate certified mobile CI/CD which runs on Silicon Macs, since we are using Unity as Library to integrate the compiled Unity Framework into a standard iOS App/visionOS App.

Got it, thanks. Can you file a bug for this and post the issue id here?

@joejo Due to the NDA I think we aren’t allowed to create an official bug report or an ISS Support ticket on this.
Can you tell me where we should create a unity issue “ticket”?

You should be fine to submit a bug report through Unity QA - Bug Reporting - Unity

@joejo we have created an bug report ticket:

IN-57645 - No VisionOS Build support for Linux

I hope the ticket finds his way to your team, and will not be directly blocked by QA

Thank you. We’ll try to help it get routed correctly.
