If you wanted to develop for visionOS, you're probably going to need to buy your own Apple Vision unit, right?
Looks like there's already a hurdle to developing for Apple Vision. The first visionOS developers will probably come from established companies rather than indie devs (who helped grow the iOS ecosystem).
- kfrzcode 3y agoWhy shouldn't there be? I'd be highly skeptical of any "developer" trying to build the cutting edge on brand new prototype hardware but didn't have $4k in their runway to get a single dev unit. This isn't "libre foss runs on toaster oven" so, y'kno, why not?
- EddieEngineers 3y agoThe SDK is coming out next month way before the devices launch so I suspect there will be some simulation options. I'll be playing about with it for sure - I want to see what gaming HUDs I can bring to life!
- cududa 3y agoThere's a pretty robust emulator they're shipping end of the month. There will also be dev centers in London, Munich, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, and Cupertino. Finally, you can submit your app to them and they'll record a session with it, and you can ask them to focus on certain issues. I suspect once they start in-store demos, devs will be able to test their apps in person.
