The time for questioning when “early subsequent yr” would possibly occur is over, as Apple introduced availability for its latest platform earlier this week, and it’s solely three weeks away! 
Does that imply you possibly can submit apps to the shop already? Sure, it does, and if you happen to can’t wait to see what the App Retailer appears like on launch day, then Steve Troughton-Smith has a good Mastodon thread the place he invited individuals to speak about their in-development visionOS apps.
It’s simple to be sceptical about whether or not Imaginative and prescient Professional will probably be successful, and I can’t say I don’t have a few of these emotions, too! The widespread and mainstream adoption of an AR platform is a big job from the place we are actually, and there’s no assure it’ll succeed, even with two¹ of the largest corporations on the planet placing themselves behind it.
However the product that will probably be stocked in shops in a couple of weeks isn’t the “widespread adoption“ model of such a gadget. The primary few iterations over the following few years are right here to put the foundations for widespread adoption. Naturally, Apple isn’t going to pitch it like that. They’ll need everybody to know that is “the perfect Imaginative and prescient Professional we’ve ever made“, which is the reality, and which builds on the earlier “finest AR gadget we’ve ever made”, which was holding up an iPhone or iPad at arm’s size.
The opposite half of the adoption story is software program, in fact, and that’s the place we builders are available. In the event you’re submitting an app within the subsequent week or two and debut within the visionOS App Retailer on day one, and if spatial computing does go mainstream, it will likely be partly due to you! 
¹ I’ve not used a Meta Quest 3, however I perceive its AR capabilities are considerably improved over earlier variations.
