visionOS 26.4 Beta 1 Now Available for Apple Vision Pro Developers

Apple has released visionOS 26.4 beta 2 for developers, continuing the 26.4 test cycle that started about a week ago with the first developer beta.

This second seed is labeled build 23O5220e and is available now through the developer software channel.

Like most mid-cycle betas, this one targets testing and polishing. If you build or test apps on Apple Vision Pro, beta 2 gives you the latest platform bits to validate compatibility, performance, and any behavior changes ahead of the final release.

Changes in visionOS 26.4 beta 2

So far, there are no widely reported headline additions in beta 2. Early notes point to typical fixes and refinements rather than new user-facing features.

The more notable visionOS 26.4 change surfaced in beta 1, which unlocked a new foveated streaming capability aimed at apps and games. Beta 2 is the next step in stabilizing that work and anything else in the 26.4 branch.

If you spot a specific change in beta 2, especially around streaming performance, input, or window behavior, share what you are seeing in the comments.
