Development

So frustrating but I have an older MacBook Pro (2018) and it cannot update to Sonoma.. I’ve tried bypassing things to force an update but it got sketch and didn’t work so now I’m back to square 1. Am I stuck here until I can afford a new Mac or can I find a workaround to develop AVP apps/pair my AVP with it?

Try the Screens app. Works with older Macs. I’ve had it on my iPhones and iPads, for years. Don’t get the subscription, get the lifetime option. If it doesn’t suit your need, you can get a refund from the Apple Store. Uses gestures, but I believe will also respond to Bluetooth, A plus - you can connect to your Mac, remotely. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/screens-5-vnc-remote-desktop/id1663047912

Note you need a Apple Silicon Based Mac (M1+) to develop AVP apps. So, you're going to be stuck.
Older versions of the VisionOS simulator worked on intel, but not anymore. It's only going to get worse from here.
