Since the earliest days of the App Store, Apple has controlled the flow of software to its devices with careful precision — but for developers building at the frontier of a new medium, that process has always had a necessary antechamber. TestFlight, Apple's beta distribution platform, offers a sanctioned path outside the polished storefront, and for the Vision Pro — a device asking developers to invent spatial computing from scratch — it has become less a convenience than a creative necessity.
