Apple Vision Pro developers complain that Apple's privacy rules are harming app development

Vision Pro home screen.

One of Apple's key selling points for devices is privacy and user protection. But according to some developers, one of the Vision Pro headset's key privacy features is actually harming app development.

To make sure that apps can't spy on you or record your surroundings, third-party apps for visionOS can't access the Vision Pro's camera – unlike Apple's best iPhones. Only system apps, such as FaceTime, can use the onboard camera. But some developers claim that this limitation is stifling app development, with apps unable to use this key hardware feature.
