2.0 (3) - Matching Vision Pro Companion and plugin

November 3, 2026. Developer ID signed, notarized by Apple, ticket stapled and Gatekeeper verified. Companion, uninstaller and bundled plugin identify as 2.0 (3), matching headset version 2.0 (3). The headset update has been uploaded to Apple but is not yet released on the App Store.

Quit X-Plane and Companion before installing. Open Companion and run Setup > Install / Update Plugin before restarting X-Plane. The installer does not update a running simulator or grant permissions. This package retains its bundled preview terms and qualification notices; clean-Mac, Intel and sustained headset checks remain separate from signing and offline tests.

2.0 (3) package, checksum and verification details. 0.1.2 fallback remains unchanged.

0.1.2 - Signed and notarized Mac installer

Package published October 2, 2026. Developer ID signing for the application, bundled plugin and installer. Hardened runtime and secure timestamps are enabled. Apple accepted this package for notarization, its ticket is attached, and Gatekeeper verification passed. Updating from a differently signed build may require renewed Screen Recording and Accessibility approval.

Included in this version

macOS 15 or later, universal Apple silicon / Intel binary. Runtime qualification remains Apple silicon only.

Before you install

Install Companion on your Mac and XPPanelsVR separately from the Vision Pro App Store. The Mac installer uses Developer ID signing and notarization; the headset app uses App Store review. Keep system security enabled. Permissions may need to be granted again when updating a differently signed local build.

Connect on a trusted private network without internet port forwarding. See the network setup guide for access controls and local transport details. The optional virtual monitor uses a private macOS interface; physical-display capture is available if an OS update affects it.

The tested live configuration is Apple silicon, X-Plane 12.4.3 and ToLiss A320 v1.2.1. Build, installer and offline regression checks also cover this package. Intel, A321, X-Plane 11 and other configurations have not been verified. Up to 5120 x 1440 at a target 30 fps is a quality setting; actual performance depends on your Mac, simulator settings and network.

October 15 website update

The download page now presents Companion as the Mac installation component for XPPanelsVR, with clearer setup and verification guidance. The existing release tag, installer filename and bundled documents retain the original -preview designation. They have not been replaced or re-signed by this website update; the package checksum and download links are unchanged.
