This sounds to me like there won’t be a checkbox to disable iPad/iOS Apps on Vision Pro like there is for macOS.

Edit: there is a checkbox (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

      Oh no, I was really hoping there wasn’t. I get why, but Apple silicon Macs could have a lot more useful apps without that checkbox.

        So much this. End users should get the choice where to run software.

        The devs don’t have to support me on that stack. But they shouldn’t have control where I run code I purchased.

        I’m looking at you, Paprika Recipe Manager. If your Mac-native version is that much better, I’ll buy it. But fuck off for telling me there are technical reasons you can’t allow me to run your iOS app on my Apple silicon Mac.

    If there’s actually no way for devs to disable apps on Vision Pro I think that’s great. I was hoping for a Netflix/Disney plus native App on Apple silicon Macs, but they are all disabled which is extremely frustrating.

      In spirit, I agree with you but it would really suck for independent devs. All those bug reports for a device you may not own and for a use case you may never have intended to support. All that leads to 1 star reviews from upset users which could potentially kill an app

        Yes, I completely understand that it’s the right move for many. I still think it’s annoying sadly.

        As far as I’m aware, on the App Store, reviews only count for the platform that you review on. So if you go look at an iOS app on the Mac App Store, you’d see different reviews than that same app on the iOS App Store. Presumably, it would be the same here

    Never believe this, Apple will backpeddle and enable devs to disable your favorite iPad and iPhone games to receive instead a message that “This application in incomparable with your device.”

    Aka what Apple did with Bug Sur, and M1 macs running iPad apps.

      All this means is that it’s opt out, rather than opt in. They’re not saying that there’s no way to disable it. In fact there’s already a way to disable it
