"Developer Creates Unofficial YouTube App for Apple Vision Pro After Google Declines"

Christian Selig, the developer behind the now defunct Reddit app Apollo, has created Juno, a third-party YouTube app for Apple's new Vision Pro headset after Google declined to release an official app. Priced at $4.99, Juno offers most features expected from a native YouTube app, including video playback, scrubbing, and browsing the catalog, while respecting video aspect ratios. The app also displays YouTube ads and provides a fully native visionOS UI. Despite not using private/internal APIs, it remains to be seen how Google will respond to a third-party developer controlling an app for one of its major services on new hardware.

"Juno: The Unofficial YouTube Vision Pro App for Apple Devices"

YouTube is not developing a dedicated app for Apple's Vision Pro headset, so Christian Selig, the developer of Apollo for Reddit, has created a $5 Juno app using YouTube's embed API to fill the void. The app allows for resizable windows, pinch drag to scrub through videos, and plans to introduce multiview support and other features. While Vision Pro will have 600 apps at launch, YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify are not included, but users can access content through other platforms.

From Apollo to Oddities: The Creator's Unconventional Journey

Christian Selig, the creator of Apollo for Reddit, has shifted his focus to Pixel Pals, an iOS app that offers various widgets and games. Pixel Pals started as a feature within Apollo but has since become its own app. The app includes features like language-learning widgets, virtual pet games, and traditional widgets like calendars and clocks. Selig expects Pixel Pals to generate significant revenue, potentially surpassing Apollo's earnings, with a projected annual recurring revenue of close to $1 million by the end of the year. The app is available for free, with optional in-app purchases and a premium subscription.
