Hello, This exact question was already asked in this forum (8 years ago) but I can't find a definitive answer: Does Metal allow using the same color texture as both an input and output (color attachment) of a fragment shader? Is the behavior defined somewhere? I believe this results in undefined behavior under both DirectX and OpenGL, so I'd assume the same for Metal, but then why doesn't Metal warn me about this as it does on some many other "misconfigurations"? It also seems to work correctly in my case, as I found out by accident. Would love to get a clarification! Thanks ahead!

I feel like I'm missing something really simple. I've got the simplest possible CIKernel, it looks like this: extern "C" float4 Simple(coreimage::sampler s) { float2 current = s.coord(); float2 anotherCoord = float2(current.x + 1.0, current.y); float4 sample = s.sample(anotherCoord); // s.sample(current) works fine return sample; } It's (in my mind) incrementing the x position of the sampler by 1 and sampling the neighboring pixel. What I get in practice is a bunch of banded garbage (pictured below.) The sampler seems to be pretty much undocumented, so I have no idea whether I'm incrementing by the right amount to advance one pixel. The weird banding is still present if I clamp anootherCoord to s.extent() but it behaves normally if I sample s.coord() unchanged. I'm trying to write a box blur that samples / averages neighboring pixels and am completely blocked by this. What am I missing?

I'm writing a Vision Pro app that's fully immersive and rendered using Metal. Occasionally, some users of this app would benefit from being able to use a physical keyboard (or other accessory like a game controller). It seems very straightforward to capture and handle spatial gesture events, but I cannot find an interface that allows the detection, capture, or handling of keyboard events in any of the objects associated with fully immersive metal rendering: CompositorServices, LayerRenderer, and its associated .frame, .drawable, and .drawable.view don't seem to have any accessory awareness. Can you help me handle a keyboard event?

Hi everyone, This happens with Xcode 15.3 (15E204a) and visionOS 1.1.2 (21O231). To reproduce this issue, simply create a new VisionOS app with Metal (see below). Then simply change the following piece of code in Renderer.swift: func renderFrame() { [...] // Set the clear color red channel to 1.0 instead of 0.0. renderPassDescriptor.colorAttachments[0].clearColor = MTLClearColor(red: 1.0, green: 0.0, blue: 0.0, alpha: 0.0) [...] } On the simulator it works as expected while on device it will show a black background with red jagged edges (see below).

I use ScreenCaptureKit, CoreVideo, CoreImage, CoreMedia frameworks to capture screenshots on macOS 14.0 and higher. Example of creating CGImageRef: CVImageBufferRef cvImageBufferRef = ..; CIImage* temporaryImage = [CIImage imageWithCVPixelBuffer:cvImageBufferRef]; CIContext* temporaryContext = [CIContext context]; CGImageRef imageRef = [temporaryContext createCGImage:temporaryImage fromRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, CVPixelBufferGetWidth(cvImageBufferRef), CVPixelBufferGetHeight(cvImageBufferRef))]; I have the next results of profiling with XCode Instruments Memory Leaks & Allocations: there is constantly increasing memory usage, but no memory leaks are detected, and there are many calls to create IOSurface objects, that have been never released. The most part of memory - All Anonymous VM - VM: IOSurface. The heaviest stack trace: [RPIOSurfaceObject initWithCoder:] [IOSurface initWithMachPort:] IOSurfaceClientLookupFromMachPort I don't have any of IOSurface objects created by myself. There are low-level calls to it. In Allocation List I can see many allocations of IOSurface objects, but there are no info about releasing it. Due to this info, how can I release them to avoid permanent increasing memory consumption?

Hi all, I am trying to measure the performce of my video game in iOS platform. After launching the debugger and caputre GPU workload (with "frame" selected as scope), I can not do performance profiling. The error message is: "Failed to enable shader profiler. (516)". And if I export the GPU trace and reopen it, the Xcode can not find any compatible devices connected. However, the same device used for capturing is connected. Device informations are: Mac device: MacBook Air M2, 2022 Mac OS version: Sonoma 14.4 XCode version: 15.2 (15C500b) mobile device: iPhone 13 Pro Max iOS version: 15.0 GPU performance counter can be performed using the same mobile device in my colleague's Mac. So I think there might be something wrong with my Xcode.

Looking for info on the best way to convert a MTLTexture to SKTexture. I am migrating a project where a SpriteKit scene is rendered in an SKView - and relies heavily on SKView.texture(from: SKNode) API I am trying to migrate to an SKRenderer based SpriteKit scene - and wondering the best way to grab an SKTexture from an SKNode when rendered in a MTKView instead of SKView?

Hi, in this WebGPU example: https://skal65535.github.io/curl/index_bug_safari.html the lighting is wrong compared to Chrome's reference version. I narrowed the problem to the uniform value 'params.specular' at line 515 not being equal to the expected value 1.2f. The value is set a line at line 1078 in the uniform buffer. Platform: MacBook M1 Pro Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224) Safari Technology Preview: Release 194 (Safari 17.4, WebKit 19619.1.11.111.2) Works ok with Chrome 124.0.6367.156 (Official Build) (arm64).

Hi, Since iOS 17, when setting weight on a SCNMorpher, the normals become completely wrong. As you can see below it only happens when there are vertices along an edge. Has anyone encountered that problem and found a solution? Thanks Reported: FB13798652

Hi! I was trying to port our sdk for visionOS. I was going through the documentation and saw this video: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10089/ Is there any working code sample for it, same goes for arkit c api ? Couldn't find any links. Thanks in advance. Sahil

with the latest Xcode that runs with Mac OS 14.5 Developer Beta has messages with a time and date in them There are also some other fields of an indeterminate origin/type. "2024-05-06 15:37:32.383996-0500 RoomPlanExampleApp[24190:1708576] [CAMetalLayerDrawable texture] should not be called after already presenting this drawable. Get a nextDrawable instead." specifically I need to know how the string [24190:1708576] relates to a location in my application so I can act on the message. I certainly can't find the text in the "[CAMetalLayerDrawable texture]". field anywhere in the user documentation OR the Development documentation. In order for a diagnostic message to be Actionable and remedied by a user it must identify the module and source line of the initiating code and there must be accessible documentation for users to access to get an explanation of potential remedies.. This interface fails to supply enough information to diagnose the problem. The label in [CAMetalLayerDrawable texture] cannot even be found in a search of the package information attached to the Xcode Release paired with the IOS and Mac OS system releases.

I am wanting to create a 3D video game in Xcode for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS. I have heard that there are a few different ways to go about this such as MetalKit or SceneKit. These libraries seem to have little examples and documentation so I am wondering: Are they still be developed/supported? Which platform should I make a game in? Where are some resources to learn how to use these platforms? Are there other better platforms that I am just not aware of? Thanks!

What best to pass to the options parameter of: MTLDevice.makeBuffer(length:options:) MTLDevice.makeBuffer(bytes:length:options:) MTLDevice.makeBuffer(bytesNoCopy:length:options:deallocator:) Basically I'm looking for a "plain English" explanation of MTLResourceOptions doc page.

Hello. I am trying to enable Metal to take advantage of SwiftUI+Shaders in an existing app. In my target, I have added metal.framework, added a .metal file and confirmed I see the Metal Compiler option in my Build Settings. When I add a colorEffect modifier using the ShaderLibrary, the object renders black. I confirmed this is working in a new project so I suspect there are more steps required to get this working in an existing application.

I have a glb model that is loading absolutely fine, repeatedly, in safari or chrome. There is only one texture that is 8192x8192 it never has a problem when loading in browser. when we embed the url into an app, the model loads the first few times (exiting the model and going back to the main menu and then reloading the model) but, after a few attempts, the texture fails to load. The model and all data is visible but the texture, itself, is black. why could this be happening? Is there something in the iOS code that is breaking it? Is the iOS code trying to automatically cache the texture and it’s running out of memory? anyone who can provide the help and support that we require will be much appreciated. thank you advance.

Hello! I run into, what seem to be compiler issue. The shader source given to Metal is: https://shader-playground.timjones.io/1bcf3ffbb313878ccd594ddbb27b746e This shader is generated by spirv-cross, from GLSL source, so for readability here is original source: https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/blob/master/shader/hiz/hiz_mip.comp (shader variant uses SSBO counter, not atomic-image) Here is relevant path of application log: 2024-04-21 16:27:13.621218+0200 Gothic2Notr[23992:2003969] Compiler failed with XPC_ERROR_CONNECTION_INTERRUPTED 2024-04-21 16:27:13.656559+0200 Gothic2Notr[23992:2003969] Compiler failed with XPC_ERROR_CONNECTION_INTERRUPTED 2024-04-21 16:27:13.701323+0200 Gothic2Notr[23992:2003969] Compiler failed with XPC_ERROR_CONNECTION_INTERRUPTED 2024-04-21 16:27:13.701477+0200 Gothic2Notr[23992:2003969] MTLCompiler: Compilation failed with XPC_ERROR_CONNECTION_INTERRUPTED on 3 try 2024-04-21 16:27:13.701817+0200 Gothic2Notr[23992:2003969] Compiler failed with XPC_ERROR_CONNECTION_INTERRUPTED iOS version: 15.8.2 MTL::CompileOptions::languageVersion: 2.4 (also tested other version - same result) Offended part of shader: void store(int mip, ivec2 uv, float z) { // NOTE: replacing this function to NOP, avoid the crash // NOTE2: this switch-case is crude emulation of bindless storage-image switch(mip) { case 1: imageStore(mip1, uv, vec4(z)); break; case 2: imageStore(mip2, uv, vec4(z)); break; case 3: imageStore(mip3, uv, vec4(z)); break; case 4: imageStore(mip4, uv, vec4(z)); break; case 5: imageStore(mip5, uv, vec4(z)); break; case 6: imageStore(mip6, uv, vec4(z)); break; case 7: imageStore(mip7, uv, vec4(z)); break; case 8: imageStore(mip8, uv, vec4(z)); break; } } Some extra info: The shader is simplified single-pass mip-map generator.

(Copied from https://github.com/google/jax/issues/20835) I am attempting to use JAX on Metal (on a M1 Pro chip) to model discrete (count) data. I've installed the latest version jax-metal 0.0.6 using pip. The installation seems to have worked overall as I can perform basic Jax array operations on GPU. However, when I try to compute the (log-)PMFs/PDFs of random variables which are defined in terms of the (log-)Gamma function I get errors like the one below which seems to indicate that the lax.lgamma function is not supported under the hood on M1 metal.
