Sample App Guide (iOS)

Build an iOS DAT app with camera streaming and photo capture.

This walkthrough covers app setup, registration, streaming, and capture. Pair it with the CameraAccess sample.

Project setup

  • Create a new Xcode project (SwiftUI App)
  • Add the SDK via SPM: https://github.com/facebook/meta-wearables-dat-ios
  • Add MWDATCore, MWDATCamera, and MWDATMockDevice to your target
  • Configure Info.plist (see Getting Started)

App architecture

A typical DAT app has these components:

MyDATApp/
├── MyDATApp.swift              # App entry point, SDK init
├── ViewModels/
│   ├── WearablesViewModel.swift    # Registration, device management
│   └── StreamViewModel.swift # Streaming, photo capture
└── Views/
    ├── MainAppView.swift           # Navigation
    ├── RegistrationView.swift      # Registration UI
    └── StreamView.swift            # Video preview, capture button

SDK initialization

import MWDATCore

@main
struct MyDATApp: App {
    init() {
        do {
            try Wearables.configure()
        } catch {
            assertionFailure("Wearables SDK configuration failed: \(error)")
        }
    }

    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            MainAppView()
                .onOpenURL { url in
                    Task {
                        _ = try? await Wearables.shared.handleUrl(url)
                    }
                }
        }
    }
}

Wearables ViewModel

import MWDATCore

@MainActor
class WearablesViewModel: ObservableObject {
    @Published var registrationState: String = "Unknown"
    @Published var devices: [DeviceIdentifier] = []

    private let wearables = Wearables.shared

    func observeState() {
        Task {
            for await state in wearables.registrationStateStream() {
                self.registrationState = "\(state)"
            }
        }
        Task {
            for await devices in wearables.devicesStream() {
                self.devices = devices.map { $0.identifier }
            }
        }
    }

    func register() async {
        try? await wearables.startRegistration()
    }

    func unregister() async {
        try? await wearables.startUnregistration()
    }
}

Stream ViewModel

import MWDATCamera
import MWDATCore

@MainActor
class StreamViewModel: ObservableObject {
    @Published var currentFrame: UIImage?
    @Published var streamState: String = "Stopped"
    @Published var capturedPhoto: Data?

    private let wearables = Wearables.shared
    private var deviceSession: DeviceSession?
    private var camera: Camera?
    private var stream: Stream?

    func startStream() async {
        let config = StreamConfiguration(
            videoCodec: .raw,
            resolution: .medium,
            frameRate: 24
        )
        let selector = AutoDeviceSelector(wearables: wearables)

        do {
            let deviceSession = try wearables.createSession(deviceSelector: selector)
            try deviceSession.start()
            // Wait for the device session to reach the started state
            for await state in deviceSession.stateStream() {
                if state == .started { break }
            }
            guard let camera = try deviceSession.addCamera(config: config) else { return }
            let stream = camera.stream
            self.deviceSession = deviceSession
            self.camera = camera
            self.stream = stream
        } catch {
            return
        }

        guard let stream else { return }

        _ = stream.statePublisher.listen { [weak self] state in
            Task { @MainActor in
                self?.streamState = "\(state)"
            }
        }

        _ = stream.videoFramePublisher.listen { [weak self] frame in
            guard let image = frame.makeUIImage() else { return }
            Task { @MainActor in
                self?.currentFrame = image
            }
        }

        _ = stream.photoDataPublisher.listen { [weak self] photoData in
            Task { @MainActor in
                self?.capturedPhoto = photoData.data
            }
        }

        stream.start()
    }

    func stopStream() {
        camera?.stop()
        deviceSession?.stop()
        stream = nil
        camera = nil
        deviceSession = nil
    }

    func capturePhoto() {
        stream?.capturePhoto(format: .jpeg)
    }
}

Testing with MockDeviceKit

Add mock device support to develop without glasses:

import MWDATMockDevice

func setupMockDevice() async {
    let mockDeviceKit = MockDeviceKit.shared
    mockDeviceKit.enable()

    guard let device = try? mockDeviceKit.pairGlasses(model: .rayBanMeta) else { return }
    device.don()

    if let videoURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "test_video", withExtension: "mov") {
        let camera = device.services.camera
        camera.setCameraFeed(fileURL: videoURL)
    }
}

func tearDownMockDevice() {
    MockDeviceKit.shared.disable()
}

Allowed dependencies

Your DAT app should only depend on:

  • MWDATCore — always required
  • MWDATCamera — for camera streaming
  • MWDATMockDevice — for testing (can be test-only dependency)
