To sideload apps onto the Apple Vision Pro, you can follow these steps:

  1. Connect Apple Vision Pro to Your Mac:

    • Ensure both your Mac and Apple Vision Pro are on the same network.
    • Enable Web Inspector on your Vision Pro. On a physical device, you can find this under Settings > Safari > Advanced > Web Inspector.
  2. Open Apple Vision Pro to Remote Devices:

    • Go to Settings > General > Remote Devices on your Vision Pro.
  3. Connect via Safari on Your Mac:

    • Open Safari on your Mac and go to the Develop menu.
    • You should see an item for connecting your Apple Vision Pro labeled "Use for development".
    • Your Vision Pro will generate a six-digit number that you'll need to enter on your Mac.
  4. Inspect and Debug:

    • Once connected, you can inspect DOM content, CSS rules, and use the JavaScript console for debugging. This is particularly useful for WebXR and other web-based experiences.
