Apple released the first visionOS beta and SDK, and third-party developers have already created their first Vision Pro apps.
Apple has just rolled out the first visionOS Developer Beta and the visionOS SDK, which will let developers try out the Vision Pro operating system and create third-party apps for the spatial computer. After so many years of using Apple devices, we know that developers will come up with killer ideas that will make the Vision Pro worthwhile, on top of Apple’s own interesting Vision Pro app ideas.
Apple already said that Vision Pro would run iPadOS apps, which means the device will have a rich catalog of apps on release even if developers do not create native visionOS apps. But it sure looks like developers are excited to try out the visionOS SDK. And some of them needed only a few hours to create versions of their existing apps for the Vision Pro.
In what follows, I’ll cover some of these first Vision Pro apps that developers are already showing off on social media. From the looks of it, there’s plenty of excitement about Apple’s new operating system. We’ll likely see plenty of iPhone and iPad apps get the visionOS treatment in the coming months.
Also, these are just first drafts, made in the first few hours after the visionOS SDK release. Developers have plenty of time to polish these apps further and develop more ideas until the Vision Pro launches next year.
The Task App
Developer Mustafa Yusuf said on Twitter he felt like a “god,” as the first version of the Task App for Vision Pro got no errors as he built the first version for Vision Pro.
Okay – wow!
