A Apple announced today its plans to integrate the App Store to the visionOS, a system that will equip the Vision Pro, the company’s future mixed reality headset (augmented and virtual). According to Apple, the app store should reach the beta version of the system by the end of this year.

In a statement, Apple explained that the new operating system was designed to seamlessly integrate with existing iOS/iPadOS frameworks, simplifying adaptation for developers.

from this fall [do hemisfério norte], an upcoming developer beta of visionOS will include the App Store. By default, your iPad and/or iPhone apps will be automatically published to the Apple Vision Pro App Store. Most of the frameworks available on iPadOS and iOS are also included in visionOS, which means that almost all iPad and iPhone apps can run on visionOS without modification. Customers will be able to use their apps on visionOS early next year when Apple Vision Pro becomes available.

As a result, most popular apps and games will automatically be available on the Apple Vision Pro App Store. If an app requires a feature that is not available on the headset, ‌App Store‌ Connect will inform the developer that it is not supported and will need to of updates before it is made available.

As we know, visionOS is in beta version. Last June, it’s worth noting, the company released the development kits and started distributing them to some people, as well as offering face-to-face labs in parts of the globe.

Apple’s developer site offers more details on how to explore the possibilities of Vision Pro and visionOS. With the arrival of the App Store, the headset experience tends to be improved. Announced last June, the new device is expected to arrive sometime in early 2024 by US$3,5 mil.
