• Apple has published new guidelines for submitting Apple Vision Pro apps to the App Store.
• One of the new rules demands that developers avoid using VR, AR, MR, or XR terms when describing their app.
• Apple wants devs to use the term “spatial computing” instead.

When Apple first revealed the Apple Vision Pro, the company made a concerted effort to avoid using terms like virtual reality, mixed reality, etc. Now Apple is demanding that developers working on apps for the Vision Pro do the same.

First spotted by UploadVR, Apple has published new guidelines for submitting a Vision Pro app to the App Store. In the “Describing your app” section, one of the new rules demands that developers avoid using terms like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), or extended reality (XR). Instead, the tech giant wants devs to start using the term “spatial computing.”
