tvOS Support

[TheSpydog]

Are there any plans for supporting MoltenVK on tvOS? I couldn’t find any information about it in the docs or in the repo. Seems like it’d be great to enable Vulkan apps to run Apple TV, especially with the upcoming Apple Arcade service.

Thanks for the upvote. Happy to hear from others on the priority of this.

Any eta for when this could be implemented?

Also interested in this. Has anyone tried compiling this project for tvOS? It should be straightforward if iOS and macOS are supported already.

It should be straightforward if iOS and macOS are supported already.

Yeah...it should be fairly straightforward.

At a minimum, it will require defining MVK_TVOS and MVK_IOS_OR_TVOS conditional macros, and working through the use of MVK_IOS...flipping most of those to MVK_IOS_OR_TVOS and adding a small number of dedicated instances of MVK_TVOS.

And then testing.

Not a big deal. Just mostly a labour and priority issue.

@billhollings Thanks! I will start a PR with all the basic changes to the Makefile and xcode projects.

I started a PR in #912, but ran into some Xcode issues. If anyone else here wants to help, please take a look!

[tmm1]

Xcode build issues have been resolved, so now the frameworks can be built for tvOS. The actual implementation of the tvOS GPU Family capabilities is still missing, if anyone is interested in helping: #912

This appears to have been completed and merged last week, so I’ll go ahead and close the issue. Very well done @tmm1!
