Apple today released the first beta version SDK (6.85GB) of visionOS, allowing third-party developers to develop applications for the Vision Pro headset.
For developers who want to port existing iPhone or iPad apps to the Vision Pro headset, firstly the headset doesn’t support certain types of apps, and secondly, the whole porting is not easy.
Apple officially made it clear that iMessage stickers, custom input methods, map navigation applications, and photography applications cannot be ported to visionOS.
Here is a list of features and tools that are not available for the visionOS app:
Core Motion, barometer, magnetometer, haptic and other device frameworks
Location data outside of standard services
HealthKit data, meaning the headset does not collect health data or the health app
Third-party apps show that the camera on the Vision Pro headset cannot be used to take pictures and record videos.
visionOS will hide the AirPlay button in the interface
App Clips, watchOS app extensions, widgets for home screen or lock screen
Handoff will not attempt to pass activity from visionOS to other devices
Users can't add HomeKit devices from Apple Vision Pro
Multi-touch is limited to two touch inputs, not 10
Pencil Kit
Screen Time
CarPlay and CarKey
