Using the bike demo from here https://needle-bike.glitch.me/
On IOS the X button in AR doesn’t show and the bottom UI to change bike colour/animations doesn’t show. Works fine on Android Chrome

Is this an issue with Mozilla WebXR viewer itself?

I thought WebXR Viewer supports (or did support) dom-overlay as well, can you open an issue on our GitHub to track this? Thanks

Of course, I wondered why I kept being told that on IOS people couldn’t exit AR

Should always be able to use the OS’s back action though, independent of that button showing up

The browser back button doesn’t activate to take you back out of AR, it stays greyed out as if we haven’t changed webpage/areas to get to AR as far as Mozilla WebXR viewer sees it so the user is stuck in AR. You can repro this on an iPhone using Mozilla WebXR viewer

On other apps as well?

E.g. the WebXR samples

Are those from a samples repo?

Clicking any of the showcase links in Mozilla WebXR viewer from the Needle homepage also crashes the app

Happens with the other XR Showcase samples such as https://needle-tiny-starter.glitch.me/
