visionOS 26 Beta 7 Release Notes

If you were hoping for shiny new features… this one’s about polish, not pop.

For Vision Pro users, beta 7 doesn’t add anything you’ll immediately notice. Your day-to-day feels like beta 6. The same small quirks are still listed in the notes— occasional rough edges with Mac Virtual Display, and a few Safari oddities. Bottom line: if you’re just looking to use the headset, this build is about stability, not new toys.

No Jupiter environment and No curved panoramic Virtual displays

For developers, there is one new callout: Apple flags a Memory Tools known issue where leak detectors can falsely report leaks in some Swift/Objective-C bridged cases. Translation: if your leak graph suddenly lights up after updating, take a breath—it might be the tools, not your app. Otherwise, the dev sections largely mirror beta 6—ARKIt, Metal, RemoteImmersiveSpace, StoreKit/SwiftUI—steady as she goes.

• Users: install if you want polish; don’t expect features.
• Devs: keep testing, but treat new “leaks” with suspicion and focus on regression passes.

What’s new for Vision Pro users

• No newly announced features or UI changes.
• Experience should feel the same as beta 6.
• A few small quirks still listed (e.g., occasional Mac Virtual Display edge artifacts; some Safari behavior).

Practical tip: If you were happy on beta 6, beta 7 is safe for polish; don’t install just to chase features.

What’s new for developers

• Memory Tools: Possible false leak positives after updating—validate before refactoring.
• Most framework notes (ARKit, Metal, RemoteImmersiveSpace, StoreKit/SwiftUI) are effectively unchanged from beta 6.
• Good week for regression testing and performance measurements rather than API exploration.
