I have a SwiftUI app in which I am trying to display a .dae file with RealityKit framework.

Is that even possible? Or can it only load .reality and .usdz files? I got it working with a simple box created in code, but rendering a model seems to be problematic.

In RealityKit you can use three file formats specifically made for it: .usdz, .rcproject and .reality. Mentioned file formats have hierarchical structure that correlates with RealityKit's guts.

If you prepared your model in other file format (.obj, .gltf, .fbx, .abc, .usda, .usdc, .usd) use usdzconvert command for converting it in .usdz.

P.S.

Both .dae and .scn file formats were implemented to use them inside SceneKit's SCNView and ARKit's ARSCNView. So, you can't load a .dae model into RealityKit view.
