[Resolved] Load times are extremely long on first open

When building to vision pro, the first time the app is installed, it is taking upwards of minutes to finally open the app. Once loaded for the first time tho, subsequent app opens (including after force closing) is near instant. Edit: Even after a device reset, the load time is less than 2 seconds. Total file size is 2gb. Also after submitting to app store, we found that after the app finished installing, it took another 20 seconds of waiting to finally open.

I’m loading in a scene with nothing first, then preloading the main scene and this is still happening. I would like for the user to at least know what is being loaded, but currently nothing is displayed, just their own surroundings.

Is this happening to anyone else? Is this behavior expected?

Edit: When downloaded from app store, it opens nearly instantly. I think this was just xcode doing something slow.

Yeah, if subsequent opens are fast, it’s nothing that Unity is doing. I’ve seen this myself as well from Xcode. I’d report it via Feedback Assistant.

Another thing to note is that VisionOS 1.1 Beta 3 makes this about 10x faster.
