Core 2.0 experiences
Camera-first navigation, stories, virtual property, spatial tools, collections and AR Snooker are represented in the development project.
HxAR 2.0 preview
From placing ARto living in it.
HxAR 2.0 is the next major update. This preview shows how the original create-and-share idea is expanding into a connected environment you can discover, shape and revisit.
The evolution
Same world. Much more possible.
The 1.0 foundation remains visible, while the 2.0 development work is intended to move from individual placements to connected experiences.

Development preview, not release notes.
This is the clearest public boundary around the work shown across the 2.0 pages.
What must still match
Availability, App Store metadata, product prices, privacy disclosures, safety controls and support instructions must match the build eventually submitted to Apple.
HxAR 2.0
Apple currently distributes HxAR 1.2. No 2.0 page should be read as a release date or guarantee that every preview feature will ship unchanged.
