ā€œVision Pro developer labs (to test apps on actual hardware) have been under-filledā€ Kind of makes sense. Itā€™s WAY early, Apple hasnā€™t made the case (yet) on why folks should invest in this space, how folks can make money here. #Apple #VisionPro

Hearing so far that the Vision Pro developer labs (to test apps on actual hardware) have been under-filled with small amounts of developers. Some developers emphasizing that the company isnā€™t offering any east coast sessions, with Cupertino the only option for the entire US.

On iOS, the situation is distinct as Apple does not permit any app to have a single character as their app name. If they manage to obtain approval, it would mark the first instance since the inception of the iOS App Store that such a permission has been granted.

Anyone have an idea why renaming Twitter to X on iOS is taking so long? It was approved on Google Play for Android a few days ago. When I worked at Twitter, Apple would typically approve trivial updates like this within a day or two. It wonder if there me a bigger story here.

Hereā€™s the form a developer will need to fill out when they are approved for a Vision Pro development kit + the Measure and Fit app that uses the camera to determine head band and light seal size. Lenses will come from Zeiss directly.
