At the press conference in June this year, Apple said it would open applications for developer kits and provide compatibility assessments and developer labs to help approved developers release Vision Pro smoothly. A few weeks later, Apple released a software development kit for Mac-based emulators, allowing developers to start developing and testing applications for the device without the actual hardware.
The Apple Vision Pro is expected to be released in early 2024 and will cost $3,500.
