Every page in the current release follows the same pattern, so you can build the URL directly instead of fetching an index: a page at /api/swift/<page>/ is at /llms-api-swift/<page>.txt.

createAnchor

Declaration

func createAnchor(at pose: simd_float4x4) throws -> NSDKVpsAnchorId

Summary

Requests to create an anchor at the specified pose.
Creates an anchor relative to the currently tracked location, and begins tracking (no
need to call trackAnchor(payload:)). The payload for the new anchor will not be
available immediately — the session polls for it each frame and fires
createdAnchorPayload once it becomes ready.
- Attention: Anchors can only be created when the current localization's tracking state
is .precise. Use $latestLocalization to observe tracking state.

Returns

A unique identifier for the created anchor.

Throws

NSDKError.invalidOperation if the localization is not in .precise state.
