Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of visionOS 2.2 to Developers With Ultrawide Mac Virtual Display

Apple today seeded the fourth beta of an upcoming visionOS 2.2 update to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming a week after the third visionOS 2.2 beta.

visionOS 2 Feature 1
visionOS 2.2 can be installed by going to the Software Update section of the Settings app on the Vision Pro and opting into Beta Updates.

The visionOS 2.2 update adds a new feature for the Mac Virtual Display option, allowing it to be set to Wide and Ultrawide. The Ultrawide setting is equivalent to two 4K displays side-by-side, and it is a notable improvement over the current Mac Virtual Display that's available in visionOS 2.1.

The Mac Virtual Display allows the Vision Pro to be connected to a Mac with the Vision Pro serving as the display for the machine. The virtual Mac desktop works just like a standard desktop with an external display, but Vision Pro does not support multiple displays. As a solution, Apple has added the option for a wider display to maximize space.

I simply don't understand. Every single time there is a new AVP thread, you guys need to express the same old hatred for it and the people who purchased it. Exactly what is the motivation for doing this?

No, but threads about it are constantly full of useless messages of users, who do not own one, but want to comment it.

Resolved Issues ('https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-2_2-release-notes#Resolved-Issues')

* Fixed: Compiling in the Swift 6 language mode might cause an @Entry error due to “static property defaultValue is not concurrency-safe because non-‘Sendable’ type”. (133885814)
* Fixed: Views won’t accept dropped directories if UTType.directory ('https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uniformtypeidentifiers/uttype-swift.struct/directory') or UTType.fileURL ('https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uniformtypeidentifiers/uttype-swift.struct/fileurl') are not in the list of accepted content types for drop.
