Is there any way to find out which apps (both native and "compatible" iPad apps) are actually available for download on the Vision Pro without actually owning the device?

I use an iPad for about 80% of my work and so am considering a Vision Pro since it's basically a spatial iPad... but my workflows requires a significant number of specific apps be available, without which the thing would be an expensive paper weight. Would be nice if we could get this intel before buying.

From memory, when you view an app in the app store, scroll down, and the devices the app works on are listed under "Compatibility". I'm not on my iphone right now so can't check, but I would assume it would it would indicate there if the app was compatible with the Vision Pro?

The iOS App Store shows visionOS compatibility for an app, but the Mac App Store does not show it in search results, but does show it on the main view of the app.

I'll help - someone posted this link in another thread. Important to note - this is a listing of apps developed or ported as Vision Pro apps. There are apps not listed here you can use on the VP - iPad apps - that are compatible.
