This release adds on-device object detection, improves AR depth accuracy on iOS, fixes layered glTF/GLB animation playback, aligns the OpenXR loader to the Android 16 KB page-size requirement, and adds Expo SDK 56 support.

Released 4 June 2026

Today we're shipping ViroReact 2.55.0, and it's a big one. This is the release where "build once, deploy from mobile AR to VR headsets" stops being a tagline and starts being a single component you mount.

What's New

We're excited to announce ViroReact v2.53.0 — a major release that introduces ReactVisionClient as the default cloud provider, a complete rewrite of ViroARPlaneSelector, new Depth API support, and much more.

This week we pushed out a small update to ViroReact to help ensure on-going stability of library.

Today, we are handing you the keys to the GPU: Full Cross-Platform Custom Shaders are here.

This release introduces a major enhancement to depth estimation on iOS, bringing high-fidelity AR capabilities to non-LiDAR devices. It also addresses critical stability issues regarding memory management on iOS and navigation stability on Android.
