I want to be clear this isn’t the only or even a primary reason AVP is an app dead zone. The price, utility and the positioning of a dev kit as a mass market product are massive reasons why too. But it is **A** reason, and as I said in @jsnellJason Snell’s annual report card, this is a consequence of burning your developer goodwill. I’ve seen how hard it is to win devs back. That’s been my job before. That’s part of my job now. And no company is immune forever.

You want to know why visionOS has no devs/apps? A big reason that I’ve long argued is that Apple abused the goodwill it had wirh its developer community over capricious IAP/linking strategies. Apple assumed devs needed Apple more than Apple needed devs. And for the iPhone, maybe that’s true. But for new platforms, it isn’t. When you actively kick someone every time they come to hang out, don’t be surprised when they don’t come to your house anymore.
