Apple plans to automatically integrate iPhone and iPad applications into the new App Store for its new Apple Vision Pro headset. In the fall, the company will release a beta version of visionOS, within which this integration will be implemented.
Apple is actively preparing to launch a new App Store for its innovative Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset. One of the key features of this store will be the automatic inclusion of all compatible apps for iPhone and iPad. On Tuesday, the company confirmed that the new Apple App Store will launch for developers alongside the visionOS beta this fall.
In the new store, apps for iPad and iPhone will be presented on an equal footing with apps for visionOS. Apple emphasizes that the transfer of applications from iOS and iPadOS to the new mixed reality OS will happen automatically, without additional effort on the part of the developers. However, if needed, developers will be able to optimize their apps to work better on the Apple Vision Pro.
By default, your iPad and/or iPhone apps will automatically be available from the Apple App Store on the Apple Vision Pro,” Apple said. Most of the tools and frameworks used on iPadOS and iOS will also be available on visionOS. This means that most iPad and iPhone apps will be able to run on visionOS without any modifications.
In addition, developers have the opportunity to create unique applications for Apple Vision Pro using the visionOS software development toolkit. Already in July of this year, Apple began accepting applications for development kits for the Apple Vision Pro headset, allowing specialists to familiarize themselves with the new product in advance. We can expect more details about Apple’s plans for the Vision Pro headset during the iPhone 15 presentation, scheduled for September 12th.
