You can definitely load projects and work with them locally but it would be ideal to use the remote tunnel feature of vs code to instead control the open projects on my main machine instead of having to duplicate a whole dev environment on the Vision Pro. That feature DOES NOT WORK. Any time you try to connect, it opens up vs code in safari in a broken environment. It’s a really big bummer. I wasn’t able to find a way to contact support so I’m writing here instead, hoping this can be addressed.

Codeman - VSCode Server on your iPad or iPhone without a physical keyboard? Codeman is the way to go. It's hands down the best app for this niche. I've tried many other apps, but most are just wrappers for using the regular interface through Safari. Codeman takes it a step further by offering a dedicated virtual keyboard that enables features like cut and paste. Without this, editing on the go is a hassle and not very practical. The developer is incredibly responsive to user feedback and improvements. I can't emphasize enough how exceptional this app is and how it has revolutionized my workflow when working on the go.
