visionOS doesn’t let you use AirPlay on the Vision Pro headset. Features like App Clips and widgets are unsupported, too, but that could change down the road.
Also, social ties are nowhere to be found in visionOS.
The visionOS simulator currently runs iPad versions of the Calendar, Maps, News, Reminders and Shortcuts apps. As visionOS is presently incomplete, the above  missing features could be added by the time the $3,500 device launches.
No AirPlay on Vision Pro
Mark Gurman broke the news in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, confirming that AirPlay isn’t supported on the device. The system video player in visionOS lacks standard AirPlay controls for beaming content wirelessly to a nearby Apple device like a Mac or Apple TV.
Gurman says other iOS frameworks, including AppClips, WidgetKit and social ties, are unavailable for visionOS developers. AppClips lets you try apps without installing them, but the feature hasn’t taken off in the way Apple envisioned.
WidgetKit is a software framework for building interactive widgets. Widgets are popular as they show glanceable information without opening the entire app. As such, they could be particularly handy in a spatial operating system like visionOS.
visionOS supports Control and Notification Center
Despite these omissions, visionOS supports several platform features prevalent in the Apple ecosystem, like dedicated Control and Notification Centers.
Surprisingly, visionOS includes a Guest User mode for sharing the Vision Pro with others, a feature that iPad owners have been asking for for years now. It looks like visionOS will get a Guest User mode before the iPad.
Gurman adds that the Photos, Settings, Files, Freeform and Safari apps in the visionOS simulator are optimized for visionOS. In contrast, the Calendar, Maps, News, Reminders and Shortcuts apps are still the iPad versions.
We fully expect Apple to create visionOS versions of all preinstalled apps in time for Vision Pro’s launch sometime in early 2024.
