Pinning Widgets in VisionOS Simulator

I am trying to run widgets on visionOS 26. Specifically I am trying to pin them to the simulator room's walls, however I am unable to do so.

Is this a limitation with the visionOS simulator right now, or am I missing a trick here?

It is not possible to surface pin in the simulator. I confirmed this with Apple engineers in a WidgetKit Lab during WWDC25.

However, as far as I can tell, that doesn’t actually make any functional difference to the widget itself, you just can’t see it in that frame
