Apple has released a web page for app developers that explains points and precautions when developing and publishing Apple Vision Pro apps. According to Apple, most iOS and iPadOS apps can be extended to Apple Vision Pro without any additional work, and those who want to develop specialized apps can take advantage of the visionOS SDK in Xcode 15.2 .
It also includes advice on how to test your app, screenshots and previews that appeal to users, and notes on app descriptions . In app descriptions, Apple requires that each word be capitalized, such as ' A pple Vision Pro ,' that the definite article 'the' not be added before 'Apple Vision Pro,' and that the name of the OS be We request that the first letter be lowercase, such as ' v isionOS'.
One that is particularly interesting and attracting attention is the following: ``Please call your app a ``spatial computing app''. 'Please do not use terms such as 'extended reality (XR: cross reality)' or 'mixed reality (MR: mixed reality).'
Technology media 9to5Mac notes that although most of Apple's marketing materials refer to Apple Vision Pro as a 'spatial computing platform,' at WWDC23 in June 2023, when Apple Vision Pro was announced, CEO Tim・Mr. Cook points out that he called it an 'AR platform.'
If you watch the WWDC 2023 presentation on YouTube, you can see that at the 1 hour 21 minute 26 second mark, Cook says, ``Today, I am announcing a completely new AR platform along with a revolutionary new product (Vision Pro).'' I'm excited about what we can do.''

Apple seems to be pushing 'spatial computing' in the branding of Apple Vision Pro to differentiate its products from AR/VR/XR/MR headsets from other companies.
UploadVR, a web media specializing in the field of VR, says, ``What other companies in the industry call virtual reality (VR), Apple simply calls it 'fully immersive.' It appears to be taking the view that Apple Vision Pro content does not require specific terminology along the spectrum.'
It is unclear how strongly these rules will be applied, and if ' VRChat ' is released on Apple Vision Pro, will the name change to 'SpatialChat' or ' Superhot VR ' will become 'Superhot Spatial'? I don't know if it will be.
