Apple releases Xcode 15.2, featuring support for Apple Vision Pro app development
Apple has rolled out Xcode 15.2, adding support for the visionOS SDK to create apps for Apple Vision Pro.
Available now from the Mac App Store and Apple Developer webpage, Xcode 15.2 includes Swift 5.9 and SDKs for iOS 17.2, iPadOS 17.2, tvOS 17.2, watchOS 10.2, visionOS, and macOS Sonoma 14.2, also adding support for the visionOS SDK to allow developers to made apps for the upcoming Apple Vision Pro headset.
Apple unveiled its new $3,499 Apple Vision Pro headset last year, made from a singular piece of three-dimensionally formed laminated glass with an aluminum alloy frame that curves to wrap a user’s face. The device features an array of advanced cameras and sensors that work together to enable the mixed-reality experience, and speakers are positioned close to a users ears to deliver Spatial Audio to create life-like three-dimensional environments.
The new Apple Vision Pro headset runs a software called visionOS, which is heavily inspired by macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. visionOS features a brand-new three-dimensional interface controlled by a person’s eyes, hands, and voice. Users can browse through apps by simply looking at them, tapping their fingers to select, flicking their wrist to scroll, or using voice to dictate.
