VR appears broken for iOS devices. Tested on iPad/iPhone. Confirmed on example at aframe.io

[dlipats]

1. Visit the 360 (sky) example at https://aframe.io/examples/showcase/sky/ with an iPad or iPhone using Safari.
2. Press the VR button in the lower right corner.
3. The screen should split in to two. Everything looks OK at first.
4. Rotate the device 360*. At about a 90* angle both left/right cameras turn white. This is unrecoverable. There is no way to rotate over 90* in any direction without the screens turning white.

iPad Debugging at https://aframe.io/examples/showcase/sky/ shows 262 webgl/shader errors. Output attached.

• A-Frame Version: 1.2.0
• Platform / Device: iPhone / iPad
• Reproducible Code Snippet or URL: https://aframe.io/examples/showcase/sky/

@kylebakerio this is not related as the rendering breaks on iPhone as well. Confirmed with Safari 15, iOS 15 on iPhone 12 Pro.

There seem to be a few problems with threejs shaders in Safari 15 on Metal.

Aframe particle system is also affected

Might be the same as this? https://aframevr.slack.com/archives/C0GG937RN/p1632419833000600

Do you have a working link for the A-Frame slack invite? Unfortunately I cant access it and https://aframe.io/slack-invite/ seems to be broken.

Still broken on iOS 15.1 Beta 4

Still broken on iOS 15.2. I tested again since another issues disappeared with 15.2.

See #5102 that will fix the VR cardboard on iPhone.

This should be fixed on master? Can anyone verify?

[vincentfretin]

I tested it in an example here c-frame/aframe-extras#383 (comment)
on the iPad 16.1.1 with mobile version selected in address bar, I see the stereo rendering. If you have the page in desktop version (the default), it just render black.
So yeah I guess it's fixed? See also my comment #4814 (comment)

We have now deprecated cardboard mode. Closing this but can reopen if necessary
