Updated: 3 Feb 2026

Overview

The Wearables Device Access Toolkit supports iOS and Android mobile platforms, with the same OS version requirements as the Meta AI app (iOS 15.2+ and Android 10+).
Xcode 14.0+ is supported for iOS. Android Studio Flamingo or newer is supported for Android.

Hardware requirements

Currently, the SDK supports the Ray-Ban Meta glasses (Gen 1 and Gen 2) and Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. You can test with a simulated device using Mock Device Kit, or directly with a device. Detailed version support of the Meta AI app and glasses firmware is located in the Version Dependencies page.

To set up your glasses for development:
  1. Ensure your Meta AI app version is v254+.
  2. Ensure your glasses software is version v20+ for Ray-Ban Meta glasses or v21+ for Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. Follow the instructions below to verify your current version.
  3. Connect your glasses to the Meta AI app.
  4. Enable developer mode (instructions below).
