visionOS

Following the release of the first beta of iOS 17.2 last week, Apple is now rolling out visionOS beta 5. Although Apple Vision Pro won’t be available in stores until next year, there are some developers who have already got their hands on Apple’s new mixed-reality headset for app development purposes.

When Apple unveiled Vision Pro at WWDC 2023 in June, the company highlighted the device’s potential for different categories, from productivity to entertainment – and that includes gaming. Since Vision Pro won’t be available in stores until 2024, we don’t know which apps will be available for it. But game studio Resolution has announced that it has plans to bring the popular role-playing game “Demeo” to Apple’s mixed reality headset.

As developers continue to work on bringing their apps to Vision Pro, Apple has shared a new update via its website with details on the Vision Pro’s App Store. Starting this fall, Apple says that visionOS will include the App Store built-in, allowing developers to expand their testing of Vision Pro apps.

Apple on Tuesday launched visionOS beta 3 to developers. Although the update is focused on people who have already got their hands on a Vision Pro Developer Kit, it’s also available for Vision Pro Simulator as part of the SDK. Read on as we detail what’s new with visionOS beta 3.

Following the release of iOS 17 beta 8 and other software updates to developers, Apple is also releasing visionOS beta 3. Although Apple Vision Pro won’t hit stores until 2024, there are a few developers who have been invited to try out the new device in advance.

Apple Vision Pro was announced in June at WWDC 2023, and the product won’t hit stores until 2024. However, in the meantime, Apple has released the visionOS SDK so that developers can build and test Apple Vision Pro apps on a Mac before the official launch. And surprisingly, someone managed to port a Windows XP virtual machine to visionOS.

Last week, Apple opened applications for the Vision Pro developer kit as well as in-person developer labs around the world. Thus far, however, the demand for those in-person developer labs has reportedly been lower than expected – particularly in the United States.

Apple last month released the visionOS SDK so developers can work on apps for Apple Vision Pro ahead of the official launch in 2024. At the time, we found out some unannounced details about the device. Now with the second beta of visionOS available to developers, we have a few more tidbits to share.

Apple released the first-ever version of the visionOS SDK back in June, and now it’s following that up with the second release. The company announced on its developer website today that visionOS 1 beta 2 is now available.

On Thursday, Apple announced that developers can now submit beta apps built with Xcode 15 to TestFlight. In other words, this means that developers can invite users to try out versions of their apps built for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, tvOS 17, watchOS 10, and even visionOS 1.

Apple unveiled its mixed reality headset called Vision Pro earlier this month. As of this week, developers have been able to access the necessary tools to create apps for visionOS. Now the latest version of App Store Connect is out with support for visionOS apps.

Apple announced Vision Pro at WWDC 2023. But even so, there are still a lot of details that the company hasn’t revealed about the device since it won’t be available in stores until 2024. But with the release of the visionOS SDK, we were able to find out more about how the platform works. And one interesting detail about Vision Pro is that the headset may not work when the user is at high speeds.

Earlier this month, Apple for the first time released an official design kit for Figma users with iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 resources. Now that the visionOS SDK is officially available to developers, the company has also made available a new design kit for those who want to create app mockups for the Apple Vision Pro operating system.

When Apple announced Vision Pro earlier this month, the company also showed off a new authentication technology called Optic ID, based on the irises of the users wearing the device. But what if someone wants to try out your Apple Vision Pro or if you want to share it with your family at home? Thanks to the visionOS SDK, we now know that this will be possible.

When Apple announced Vision Pro at WWDC, the company promised to make a robust set of tools available for developers. That day has already arrived, with Apple announcing in a press release that developer tools for Vision Pro are now available, starting with the visionOS SDK.

Following the announcement of Vision Pro at WWDC yesterday, Apple is providing more details about the headset itself and the visionOS software platform in developer sessions. In a session on Tuesday, called “Design for spatial input,” Apple showcased two ways to interact with Vision Pro: a floating in-air keyboard and pairing a keyboard via Bluetooth.

At WWDC 2023, Apple officially unveiled its new Vision Pro headset, which it describes as a “revolutionary spatial computer.” I was in the crowd at today’s keynote when it was announced, and shortly thereafter, I was whisked away on a golf cart to go try out the Apple Vision Pro.

When I arrived at the demo building on the far corner of Apple Park, I was then whisked away once again… into an alternate world powered by visionOS.

Apple has officially unveiled Apple Vision Pro, it’s new augmented reality platform in the form of a mixed reality headset.
