How do I start developing for Vision Pro?

To start developing for Vision Pro, you can follow these steps:

Get the VisionOS SDK: Begin by integrating the VisionOS SDK into your project. If you have an existing iOS or iPadOS app, you can recompile it to run on VisionOS. This is a good starting point to quickly get your app running on the new platform.
- For example, in the session Bring your iOS or iPadOS game to visionOS, it is demonstrated how to compile an iOS app to run on VisionOS.
Use Vision Pro for Development: Connect your Vision Pro device to your Mac for development purposes. This involves generating a six-digit number on your Vision Pro and entering it on your Mac. Once connected, you can use tools like Web Inspector to inspect and debug your app.
- This process is detailed in the session Optimize for the spatial web.
Explore Game Input: If you are developing a game, consider the different types of inputs available on Vision Pro, such as gestures and physical controllers. Designing around these inputs can enhance the user experience.
- The session Explore game input in visionOS provides a comprehensive overview of game input options.
Leverage Apple's Resources: Utilize Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and design resources like Figma and Sketch kits to expedite your prototyping and ensure your app adheres to best practices.
- These resources are mentioned in the session Design great visionOS apps.
Stay Updated with Platform Enhancements: Keep an eye on the latest updates and features in VisionOS to take full advantage of the platform's capabilities. Apple frequently releases new samples and documentation to help developers.
- The session Platforms State of the Union highlights the latest enhancements and resources available for VisionOS.

By following these steps and utilizing the resources provided by Apple, you can start developing for Vision Pro and create immersive spatial computing experiences.
