Is it possible to develop apps for Vision Pro on an Intel Mac?

I just recently saw a message in the Unity forums, by a Unity staff member, that Apple requires an Apple Silicon based Mac (M1, M2) in order to build apps for the Vision Pro glasses. This confused me since the simulator works just fine on my Intel Mac. Is there any official statement from Apple on this? It would be weird to buy a new Mac just because of this.

Sorry I wasn’t able to respond sooner; this situation is still evolving. The latest news from Apple is in the Xcode 15 Beta 7 Release Notes, which says:

visionOS Simulator is not supported on Intel based Mac hardware
