This is a great way to encourage developers to build the app that will show an essential use case for the Vision Pro. It’s not like Vision Pro is a solution in need of a problem, desperately waiting for a killer app, or that apps built the iPhone ecosystem into the juggernaut it is now. Apple doesn’t need developers, right? Right?

Relax, we have Fruit Ninja VR. The rest is just a matter of waiting for more software to materialize.

I can't even understand your point here. People aren't developing for apple hardware to be nice to apple or help out the ecosystem, they're doing it for money. As long as Apple is creating a platform that people love, adopt and trust people will develop for it (while complaining the whole time no doubt) By the amount of bitching on this issue, it really sounds like developers need Apple not the other way around. If this was really about user freedom and shit like that developers would just boycott the platform and move to android. This is just about money and developers wanting to have their cake (distribute their app in a high trust environment) and eat it too (put whatever stupid shit they want in their app with no checks or controls)

  People are developing for money, yes, money that Apple intends to take a large cut of for no good reason, hence why they would avoid developing for it because they would not make enough money. Developers do not need Apple because there are other viable platforms. Users that are locked to an iPhone for whatever reason (iCloud being impossible to export, costs are prohibitive, family uses it, etc) would like to be able to sideload or generally run whatever they want on their own device. People aren't complaining just to complain and they're definitely not being entitled, that's just the expectation when you buy a computing device and Apple is failing to uphold their end of it. I do not touch the Apple ecosystem but would like to see their behavior squashed before it can spread to any devices that I do use.
