✨ Features
- Added an **XR/AR Foundation** section to the **Component** menu to make it easier to add AR Foundation components to a GameObject.
- Added a project validation rule to validate **Script Compilation During Play** setting for XR simulation.
- Added support for simulated bounding box detection to XR Environment via the [SimulatedBoundingBox](xref:UnityEngine.XR.Simulation.SimulatedBoundingBox) component.
- Added three new APIs to the `XRSessionSubsystem` and provider class which can be extended by AR session providers to handle Universal Render Pipeline rendering events signaled by the `ARCommandBufferSupportRendererFeature` when it is included in the renderer features list for the `Universal Renderer` asset.
- - [XRSessionSubsystem.requiresCommandBuffer](xref:UnityEngine.XR.ARSubsystems.XRSessionSubsystem.requiresCommandBuffer*)
- - [XRSessionSubsystem.OnCommandBufferSupportEnabled](xref:UnityEngine.XR.ARSubsystems.XRSessionSubsystem.OnCommandBufferSupportEnabled*)
- - [XRSessionSubsystem.OnCommandBufferExecute](xref:UnityEngine.XR.ARSubsystems.XRSessionSubsystem.OnCommandBufferExecute*)
- Added a new `ARCommandBufferSupportRendererFeature` which calls the newly exposed `XRSessionSubsystem` APIs for integration into **Universal Render Pipeline** command buffer execution.
- Changed documentation for Universal Render Pipeline setup to indicate that the `ARCommandBufferSupportRendererFeature` is required when using the Vulkan Graphics API.
📈 Improvements
- Updated documentation to reflect that the Apple visionOS XR Plug-in now supports AR Foundation 6.
- Changed: Removed a 1mm depth offset from `DepthCopy.shader`. To avoid z-fighting issues with other shaders, use the Offset command instead.
- Changed [BoundingBoxClassifications](xref:UnityEngine.XR.ARSubsystems.BoundingBoxClassifications) to add additional labels provided by Apple RoomPlan.
🔧 Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the Build AssetBundles window (**Assets** > **AR Foundation** > **Build AssetBundles**) threw a `NullReferenceException` if no AssetBundles were built.
- Fixed XR Simulation components so they now behave correctly if you disable the **Reload Domain** option in Configurable Enter Play Mode settings.
- Fixed the native XR Simulation Input provider so that it now explicitly sets **Device** mode as its only supported [Tracking Origin Mode](xref:Unity.XR.CoreUtils.XROrigin.TrackingOriginMode). The [XR Origin component](xref:xr-core-utils-xr-origin-reference) will always use **Device** mode as its Tracking Origin Mode and apply the [XROrigin.CameraYOffset](xref:Unity.XR.CoreUtils.XROrigin.CameraYOffset) value.
- Fixed the `SimulationSessionSubsystem` so it doesn't log an error if you call `ARSession.Reset` before the session is initialized.
- Fixed the `SimulationRaycastSubsystem` to correctly state via `XRRaycastSubsystemDescriptor.supportedTrackableTypes` that casting rays against planes is supported in XR Simulation.
- Fixed `SimulatedAnchor` and `SimulatedLight` so it is no longer possible for these components to log a non-deterministic error when you unload an XR Simulation environment.
- Fixed XR Simulation occlusion on Apple silicon Macs so that occlusion now renders correctly regardless of whether URP Render Graph is enabled or disabled.
