Timing App Release with visionOS 2 and Getting App is Featured

I am developing a VR game titled “The Simulation™ Archive #1147” and plan to release it in conjunction with the official launch of visionOS 2. Currently, I am building my app using all the Betas (visionOS 2 Beta, Xcode 16 Beta, and macOS Sequoia Beta), which prevents me from creating a build with Xcode 15 that I can “Add for Review” through App Store Connect.

My questions are:

  1. What steps should I take to ensure a smooth review process and timely release once visionOS 2 is out of Beta? Do I need to downgrade to macOS Sonoma so I can build with Xcode 15 and press “Add for Review”?
  2. I believe my app has a decent chance to get featured. Is that something I can find out before releasing the app so I can make the necessary featured artwork?

You can check out this mock App Store page for my app. This is roughly what someone will see before downloading the game: https://www.thesimulationtm.com/mock-app-store

Also, here is a public TestFlight link that anyone with an Apple Vision Pro can try: https://testflight.apple.com/join/XuP3gtNL

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
