Summary:
I have a .mp4 movie. I have a simple SceneKit scene with a sphere. I create an AVPlayer & AVPlayerLayer and assign the layer to the sphere's material, which should show the movie on the sphere's surface. Works great in simulator, blackness on device.

(sample app supplied)

Comments

This issue behaves as intended based on the following:

AVPlayerLayer are rendered out of process on the device and can’t be used as a texture. Please use a SKVideoNode for this instead.
