iOS Closed Beta

Directions Open App Store Connect Select VRChat for iOS Navigate to the TestFlight tab For each group selected in the sidebar, under Test iPhone and iPad apps on Macs with Apple silicon click Enable Per instructions here: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/test-a-beta-version/test-iphone-and-ipad-apps-on-macs-with-apple-silicon Motivation Apple Silicon Macs can run unmodified iOS and iPadOS software without needing build support, Catalyst, or a separate Mac build. By allowing Apple Silicon Macs to test VRChat for iOS, this would allow a Desktop Mode experience for Mac users in which they can provide valuable feedback in regards to core features and stability, whilst having additional RAM at their disposal which will negate resource issues. Additionally, iOS world and avatar creators who also develop on Mac within this beta would have the ability to near-instantly test their content, without having to switch devices, giving creators a better testing environment, and improving the pace of iteration. This would be a net-positive for creators on Mac.

So I was wondering here if the closed beta testers would get something in return of their time to test and report the bugs. And it came to me... a badge. I've seen some folks with the "Early supporter" badge so I was thinking something like that but for those who helped to test and report bugs during iOS Closed beta. But hey.... it's just a stupid shower idea... but if the team wants to roll with it, go for it.

Normally, sliding across the menu tabs will simply navigate to each tab in sequence. On iOS, doing so spam-taps the tabs, resulting in things like the search menu popping up or the camera being summoned. This is especially noticeable if you start sliding across the big main menu, and then hold your finger in place. If it's over something like the social tab, it'll just rapidly open and close the search keyboard. iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18.0

Occasionally, the iOS app signs me out, and I have to log in again and use 2FA to get the code - the small problem is I have to open the Mail app to get the code as it does not fetch the message unless I open Mail. Hopefully there is a way to mitigate this by having a “Remember this device” checkbox for the app (maybe for the website, too).

I find that the menu button in the bottom right corner of the screen is too close to the corner edge of the screen, this often causes me to accidentally press it with my "thenar eminence" (joint connecting thumb to hand) while I'm trying to move the camera with my thumb. I am using an iPhone 14 Pro

Directions: Open VRChat and stay on the main menu Scroll up and down across the main menu The menu seems to jitter or stutter while scrolling through the menu I’m not sure if this is already an issue but it looks like iOS is having trouble identifying if it should be on 60 fps or 120 fps while scrolling in some parts of the menu, especially the hot worlds sections. It could just be reloading the images of the worlds causing it to lag or stutter. iPhone 13 Pro Max Version: 2024.3.2 (346) iOS Version: iOS 18.1 (Beta 5)

Test VRChat Home on iOS. Look at the Movement Instructions sign. Profit. This should easily be simple to fix on your end. Do note that I’m on the iOS 18 Public Beta (Release Candidate), if that helps. Specs: iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 18 Public Beta

Device: iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17.6.1 The notifications inbox only shows up in-game and on the website. It could be helpful to have an inbox in the iOS app for managing notifications that are not lost/disappear when they are clicked on from the main iOS Notifications screen.

When in an instance, the HUD has a hamburger button on the botton right of the screen. The edge-to-edge display of iPhones makes it easy to accidentally trigger while playing. One of the menu options is "Leave." I hit the hamburger button accidentally very frequently and the subsequent "Leave" command is directly where my thumb is when I move the camera. This causes me to leave an instance if I'm not actively paying special attention to avoid hitting the button. Please remove the "Leave" option from that menu.

Some nice stuff: The game works with a bluetooth gamepad connected. The issue: It has a one missing input, the gesture wheel, On steam deck bindings are set up for bumper buttons to open gestures, I'd love if you add those bindings!, they appear to be assigned on the controls menu but the button does not appear to work
