Does Meta XR Simulator support Mac OS?

800B market cap but can't get staff to respond to a message.

Would love to have those tools on Mac ( M Series)! Hope to get an update soon

I'm having this problem too:

1. After clicking "Meta XR Simulator > Activate", The simulator itself does not show up when I click play. I just get the Unity Gameplay mode.
2. When I try to Launch a synthetic environment server, I get these errors:

ApplicationName='netstat.exe', CommandLine='-a -n -o', CurrentDirectory='', Native error= Cannot find the specified file

Seeing a "Win32" error makes me think this does not work on Mac OS - Meta should definitely make it clear what kinds of platforms are supported with the XR simulator.

Troubleshooting I've tried:

The XR Simulator Troubleshooting section recommends one thing:

You may want to check the Standalone tab of XR Plugin Management settings, and enable the same XR Provider that is enabled in the Android tab

I don't know what the "Standalone" tab is - I only have tabs Windows,Mac,Linux, Android, and Dedicated Server. I made sure that Oculus has been checked on all of them. I also went through the trouble of checking Open XR on Windows,Mac,Linux - no success.

Meta XR Simulator currently only supports Windows at this time.

Mac support was added in the latest version

Has anyone gotten the Mac-supported Meta XR Simulator to work? I have been trying to get it to work for a while, but the Simulator window won't even open in the editor. I have tried changing the XR Plugin, editing the active runtime json file, and correcting the file path stored in the environment variable XR_RUNTIME_JSON. I have also followed all of the Mac installation instructions from the GitHub link that Meta recommends for Mac users. Additionally, I constantly run into an error stating that the netstat.exe file cannot be found when trying to run the simulator, but netstat.exe is a Windows-specific file. I'm having a hard time believing the simulator is intended to be this difficult to setup. I must be missing something, so if anyone has figured it out please let me know.

That is surprising to hear. I will reach out in private to gather more information, I may be able to help&debug your case

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

I have the exact same problem. I have done everything you said. But I'm still getting the error: 

Failed to load openxr runtime loader.
UnityEngine.XR.Management.XRGeneralSettings:AttemptInitializeXRSDKOnLoad () (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.xr.management@4.4.0/Runtime/XRGeneralSettings.cs:148)

Thank you JakeMaier and matej001 . I can run the simulator and the controls seem to work. I dont get all the graphics in the scene though (i.e. cant see some of the characters specially the ones with grab enabled).

But overall, thank you both as this saves me a lot of time and frustrations.
