YouTube and Spotify Won’t Launch Apple Vision Pro Apps, Joining Netflix (www.bloomberg.com)

YouTube said in a statement Thursday that it isn’t planning to launch a new app for the Apple Vision Pro, nor will it allow its longstanding iPad application to work on the device. YouTube, like Netflix, is recommending that customers use a web browser if they want to see its content: “YouTube users will be able to use YouTube in Safari on the Vision Pro at launch.”

If you've worked with Apple's universal apps, you know that it's never truly free. Supporting the platform always brings new platform-specific bugs, platform-specific regression testing needs, product / design support for platform-specific experience quirks.

It's going to be some amount of work, for an audience that will likely be small at first, on a platform that is already supported by the company's web experience. IMHO "wait and see" is the prudent approach.

Just navigating their shitty submission process is a ton of work on its own.
