Crash in glDrawElements() on Apple Silicon Vision Pro Simulator
Hi, we've been developing an iOS game using OpenGL ES, trying running compatible iOS app on Vision Pro Simulator on M1 Mac, but we met a strange EXC_BAD_ACCESS crash in glDrawElements(), while the app run normally on ios or ipad simulators with the same developing environment. The stack like following: Our Mac is a Mac Studio(2022) with Apple M1 Max and MacOS 14.1.2. Xcode: Version 15.3 (15E204a) Simulator OS: Vision OS 1.1

iOS app running in compatibility mode on Apple Vision Pro does not apply hoverEffect to SwiftUI View
We tested our iOS app on visionOS and found that the hover effect works on most of UIKit views, but it does not work on most of SwiftUI views. SwiftUI views are used within UIHostingController. I created a new project (Storyboard based iOS app) and displayed the following SwiftUI view in UIHostingController and found that the buttons in the List were highlighted, but not the standalone buttons. struct SwiftUIView: View { var body: some View { List { // This button has the hover effect. Button { print("Hello") } label: { Text("Hello") } } // This button does't have the hover effect. Button { print("Hello") } label: { Text("Hello") } .hoverEffect() } } Is there a way to highlight any SwiftUI view?

How to create visionOS screenshots for the App Store with the Simulator?
For visionOS App Store listings, screenshots are supposed to be 3840 × 2160. However, when I save screenshots from the Simulator, they are only 2732  × 2048. Is there a setting to generate full-size screenshots from the simulator? Or is there a way to save screenshots of the app window without the scene background? As the Apple Vision Pro is not being sold yet (and won't be outside the US for a while) taking screenshots on the device is not really an option. Of course, we can add borders or scale up the Simulator screenshots, but it seems weird that the expected screenshot size does not match the Simulator output.

Force quit apps on Vision Pro simulator
How do you force quit apps on the Vision Pro simulator? I've read online you can double press the digital crown on a real Vision Pro device but there is no such button on the simulator. So far I've tried Pressing the home button twice (⇧⌘H) Pressing the Siri button twice (⌥⇧⌘H) None of them works I'm on Xcode 15.0 beta 5 (15A5209g) & visionOS 1.0 beta 2 (21N5207e)
