App shares with FaceTime during Group Activities
My app passes data across a Group Activities session on a FaceTime call. It requires that the user can see the video coming from the other end. A normal call on the iPhone only sees a PiP video. On an iPad, the user can divide the screen between the two apps. An iPhone user may not be familiar with the iPad UI. Is there an API to divide the screen between FaceTime and another app, automatically? Group Activities with PiP Video iPad FaceTime Full Screen Video

GroupActivityMessenger between visionOS and iOS
I have an app which passes GroupActivity messages between instances running on iOS and visionOS provided both instances were built from the same target. They do not pass successfully if the apps were built from different targets, even though the one is a duplicate of the other. I have a sample demonstrating the issue: https://github.com/bwake2012/GroupActivitiesColors I need different targets because not all third party libraries support all devices. Libraries which support connected external hardware may never support visionOS. Multiple targets is the simplest way I can see to deal with that. The two targets are duplicates, except for the destinations. The app instances appear to join the session correctly. You can see screen shots from two devices in the same session. I see errors in the debugger: messageStream(for:messageType:):618 Explanation: Decoding message from data Error: Swift.DecodingError.valueNotFound(Any, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [CodingKeys(stringValue: "message", intValue: nil), CodingKeys(stringValue: "t", intValue: nil)], debugDescription: "Decoder for value of GroupActivitiesColors.ChooseColorMessage.self not found.", underlyingError: nil))
