My app has a destination "visionOS (designed for iPad)", not "visionOS". It works nicely in the Vision Pro simulator.

Im confused with Apples documentation on how to prepare for the app store: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos/making-your-app-compatible-with-visionos

If the app uses a destination "visionOS (designed for iPad)" is it possible or required to provide Vision Pro screenshots in App Store Connect?

In App Store Connect, it is possible to add a platform visionOS.

Is my assumption correct, that this platform is only for destination "visionOS" and not for destination "visionOS (designed for iPad)"?

You can add a visionOS Platform in App Store Connect. But then if you want to submit for that platform, you'd have to submit a visionOS binary, not one for 'visionOS (designed for iPad)'. To do that, go to your build settings and under Architectures, set Base SDK to 'visionOS'. Then you will see the Destination 'Any visionOS Device (arm64)' in Xcode. If you keep the Base SDK as 'iOS' and submit a binary, it will be sent to your iOS app Platform. It won't be seen by a visionOS Platform.

So that means as long as I have only a destination "visionOS (designed for iPad)", I can't provide screenshots on App Store Connect and therefore I don't have to?

(Currently I depend on libraries that don't even compile for visionOS)

Right. You don't provide screenshots.
