Does Meta XR Simulator support Mac OS?
I've installed and activated the plugin, but it never launches. Running Sonoma on Apple Silicon if that makes a difference.
To everyone still looking for a solution: With the help of this kind Meta employee I have gotten Meta XR Simulator working on Mac. Here are things you MUST do:
- Install the simulator and Vulkan sdk through Homebrew and make sure to do the post-installation command
- Update OpenXR to experimental version!!!!!!! It is version 1.11.1-exp.1 (this was what finally got it working)
- Make sure OpenXR is ticked as plugin provider for PC, Mac, Linux tab in XR Plugin Management settings
Other things that I did, not sure if they were part of the solution:
- Set "Play Mode OpenXR Runtime" (in OpenXR plugin management settings) to the directory of your Homebrew installed XR Simulator -> meta_openxr_simulator.json
- Deleting Meta XR Simulator package(from the Meta XR All-In-One package) from my project entirely
Huge shoutout matej001 for helping me figure this out
Thanks Jake. You have really solved the problem. OpenXR is not installing version 1.11.1-exp.1 on default. So I have changed it on my manifest.json to "1.11.1-exp.1". And voila everything works.
