A guide for using Apple's ARKit to understand and track the physical world in augmented-reality apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
It covers world tracking, planes, anchors, ray casting, depth, LiDAR meshes, environment mapping, saved world maps, relocalization, and visionOS provider setup.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right ARKit approach while handling tracking quality, permissions, privacy, and the handoff to rendering or scanning code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

arkit-spatial-sensing-workflow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ARKit Spatial Sensing Workflow

Purpose

Guide ARKit environment sensing while preserving the platform-specific session model, typed spatial data, tracking quality, authorization, privacy, and rendering/scanning handoffs.

When To Use

  • Use for world tracking, planes, anchors, ray casting, scene depth, LiDAR reconstruction, meshes, environment understanding, maps, relocalization, and visionOS ARKit providers.
  • Recommend camera-capture-depth-workflow for camera controls, photo/video capture, calibrated camera depth, or synchronized camera outputs.
  • Recommend arkit-face-body-tracking-workflow for TrueDepth face geometry or body skeleton tracking.

Single-Path Workflow

  1. Classify the spatial task:
    • world tracking and tracking-state repair
    • plane, image, object, or geographic detection
    • ray casting, hit testing, feature points, or measurement
    • scene depth or smoothed scene depth
    • scene reconstruction, mesh geometry, or classification
    • environment texturing or probes
    • world-map persistence, sharing, or relocalization
    • visionOS authorization and provider lifecycle
  2. Apply the Apple docs gate:
    • read current ARKit documentation for the selected platform and capability
    • state the documented behavior relied on
    • apply ../../shared/references/apple-spatial-data-privacy-contract.md
    • check supportsFrameSemantics, supportsSceneReconstruction, configuration support, provider support, authorization, and device capability before configuration
  3. Choose the platform shape:
    • on iOS/iPadOS, configure and own ARSession with the appropriate ARConfiguration
    • on visionOS, request the documented ARKitSession authorization and run only the required data providers
    • do not hide those different lifecycles behind a generic spatial session
  4. Preserve spatial evidence:
    • keep anchor identifiers, transforms, timestamps, tracking state, world origin, coordinate conventions, depth confidence, mesh geometry/classification, map state, and provider events typed
    • distinguish estimated geometry from measured truth
  5. Define presentation and scanning handoffs:
    • use RealityKit for entity/scene presentation and interaction when appropriate
    • use RoomPlan for documented room-capture and structured-room workflows
    • use SceneKit only for an existing SceneKit rendering surface or a documented requirement
    • use Metal for advanced rendering or compute that RealityKit/Core Image cannot express
  6. Return documented behavior, capability and authorization evidence, platform session/provider plan, coordinate and data lifecycle, privacy policy, diagnostics, validation, and handoffs.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
