Apple deprecating OpenGL

yup… if they can mess it up they will…

Any news on this, either from Apple or from Corona? Came to think about it yesterday and got a little worried that Corona apps won’t be able to run on future iOS versions…  :wacko:

Hi Rob,

Any news?

Ben

It’s in our queue to do, probably after we complete the Android build system update.

Thanks for the answers, and thanks for your patience, Rob! I’m sure if it ever comes to a point where OpenGL is no longer supported by Apple, we’ll have other options with Corona.

Are you saying that Apple haven’t made an official announcement to drop OpenGL support yet?

They made an official announcement a long time ago. If you look at their documentation at https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/3DDrawing/Conceptual/OpenGLES_ProgrammingGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html you’ll be met with the following announcement:
 

"Retired Document

Important: OpenGL ES was deprecated in iOS 12. To create high-performance code on GPUs, use the Metal framework instead. See Metal."
