Apple Vision Pro is getting its own App Store, and that’s good news for developers
2023-09-06 11:16:43
We have now understood: the strength of a platform is given by its ecosystem, read its applications. Users do not buy a product if there are no applications, and developers do not create applications if they do not believe in a project, that is, if it does not is not adopted by users. This Tao of the technological world has taken on the importance of a principle of thermodynamics which has claimed many illustrious victims. And Apple knows it well, that’s why when it presented its new Vision Pro headset, the first representative of the visionOS platform, it assured that it might take advantage of the very wide catalog of applications in the App Store . Apple has announced that developers will soon be able to start testing their apps on the visionOS platform, which is currently in beta, as an update will arrive this fall that will include the App Store. Until now, in fact, Apple distributed some hardware kits to a series of developers and carried out in-person tests in its Apple Stores, but above all released Xcode with the visionOS simulator, but none of them offered ‘ App Store and so it was not possible to see how individual apps would perform on the platform. However, this situation will soon change and individual developers will be able to test their creation and check if any changes need to be made. In most cases, this will not be necessary.
In fact, Apple said that by default apps will be automatically published on the App Store for Vision Pro and almost all of them will work without issue. If an app “requires a feature that is not available on Apple Vision Pro, App Store Connect will indicate that it is not compatible and will not be available”. At this point, the developer will need to provide alternative functionality or update the application’s UIRequireDeviceCapabilities. In any case, the visionOS simulator in Xcode 15 will allow everyone to test their applications and check that there are no incompatibilities. There is, however, an important aspect. Vision Pro will have its own fleet of apps when it launches, but what kind of experience will they offer? As they are translated from iPhone and iPad, they will not offer a very different experience from that with a screen, and they will certainly be non-immersive solutions that will not give users particular satisfaction. Just like with the iPad (and as Android is only just beginning to learn this), optimizations will need to be created to bring added value to users. For this reason, Apple provides the visionOS SDK, which will allow apps to adopt the standard look and feel of the visionOS system and allow you to add elements, such as 3D content optimized for visual and manual input. For this, however, it will be necessary to work heavily on the code, and we imagine that not everyone will have the desire (or the incentive) to do so. Which will slow platform adoption if Apple doesn’t create an incentive.
