As developers begin to embrace visionOS, feature management remains a critical element.

The AR/VR long-term “vision” is becoming more and more of a reality each day, with Meta Quest and now Apple Vision Pro placing powerful devices in every household.

Developers who want to get ahead of this emerging trend still need a way to manage releases, experiment, and test software and hardware changes.

Statsig is a powerful platform designed to manage feature gates and dynamic configurations. It seamlessly integrates with visionOS, making it a game-changer for developers looking to make data-driven decisions.

Introduction to Statsig and visionOS

visionOS, with its robust features and user-centric design, provides a fertile ground for applications to deliver exceptional user experiences. However, managing features and conducting experiments in such a dynamic environment can be challenging.

Statsig's suite of tools is engineered to address these challenges, offering a streamlined approach to feature management and experimentation.

Statsig's iOS SDKs, which are compatible with visionOS, enable developers to implement feature flags, configure application behavior on the fly, and evaluate the impact of changes with precision. This integration empowers teams to roll out new features safely, test ideas, and iterate rapidly based on real user data.

How Statsig works with visionOS

Statsig's iOS SDKs are designed with compatibility in mind, ensuring they work seamlessly with visionOS. Here's how you can leverage Statsig within the visionOS ecosystem:

Feature flags

Feature flags, or feature gates, are a cornerstone of modern development practices. They allow you to control the visibility and rollout of features without deploying new code. With Statsig's iOS SDK, you can:

• Create logic branches in your code that can be toggled from the Statsig Console.

• Gradually roll out features to a subset of users to gauge response and performance.

• Turn features on or off in real-time, providing flexibility and reducing risk.

Dynamic configurations

Dynamic configurations offer the ability to customize your app's behavior for different user segments. Statsig enables you to:

• Send tailored configurations based on user attributes like location, device type, or usage patterns.

• Modify app behavior on the fly without the need for app updates or redeployments.

• Experiment with different configurations to find the optimal settings for your user base.

A/B/n experiments

Running experiments is essential for understanding the impact of changes. Statsig simplifies this process by:

• Providing a framework for setting up and managing experiments directly from the Statsig Console

• Allowing you to define experiment groups and track performance across various metrics

• Integrating with your analytics stack to provide a comprehensive view of experiment results

Why Statsig is a game-changer for visionOS developers

Statsig's integration with visionOS offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for developers:

• Rapid iteration: Test ideas quickly and adapt based on user feedback without waiting for lengthy app store review processes.

• Data-driven decisions: Make informed decisions using real-time data on feature performance and user engagement.

• Reduced risk: Implement feature rollbacks or adjustments instantly if issues arise, minimizing the impact on users.

• Enhanced user experience: Deliver personalized experiences to different user segments, increasing satisfaction and retention.

Getting started with Statsig on visionOS

To begin using Statsig with your visionOS application, follow these steps:
