Apple's iOS App Store does not permit an app to link to naked dylibs.
Instead, these must be placed in frameworks, which are embedded in a
dynamic version of MoltenVK.xcframework.
- Use Xcode to directly generate a MoltenVK.framework for each platform,
and remove create_dylib*.sh scripts.
- Move static XCFramework, containing libMoltenVK.a static libraries,
to Package/Latest/MoltenVK/static/MoltenVK.xcframework.
- Generate dynamic XCFramework, containing MoltenVK.framework dynamic
libraries, in Package/Latest/MoltenVK/dynamic/MoltenVK.xcframework.
- Add macro MVK_VERSION_STRING to create version string at compile time,
use it to validate the CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION build setting at compile time,
and use it at runtime instead of mvkGetMoltenVKVersionString() function.
- Add -w to OTHER_LDFLAGS to dynamic framework builds to suppress
spurious linker warnings of the type
"ld: warning: no platform load command found in '...', assuming: iOS"
issued from the new linker introduced in Xcode 15.
- Add MoltenVK-MacCat Xcode target and MoltenVK Package (MacCat only)
Xcode scheme to avoid building dynamic MoltenVK.framework for the
Mac Catalyst platform, because Xcode does not support doing so.
- Always run MoltenVK build scripts, to ensure all components are
added to the XCFrameworks, and MoltenVK/Package is always refreshed,
even if code compilation is not required.
- Cube demo link to dynamic MoltenVK.framework through
dynamic/MoltenVK.xcframework, instead of to naked libMoltenVK.dylib.
- Update the version of Volk used by the Cube demo, to support
loading MoltenVK from dynamic frameworks inside Volk.
- Update README.md and MoltenVK_Runtime_UserGuide.md documents.
- Update MVK_PRIVATE_API_VERSION to 40.
- Fix make install to install /usr/local/lib/libMoltenVK.dylib on macOS (unrelated).
- Remove unused MTLAttributeStrideStatic declaration prior to Xcode 15 (unrelated).
- Statically expose vkGetInstanceProcAddr(), even
when MVK_HIDE_VULKAN_SYMBOLS is enabled.
- To support Volk, link Cube demo dynamically to libMoltenVK.dylib
instead of statically to MoltenVK.xcframework.
- Remove visionOS from multi-platform builds because it
requires Xcode 15+ and will abort a multi-platform build.
- Define TARGET_OS_XR for older SDK's.
- A number of SDK deprecation warnings remain when building for visionOS.
These cannot be removed without significant refactoring.
- Build visionOS dependencies for Release build by default.
- Fix local variable initialization warning (unrelated).
Makefile currently special-case MVK_HIDE_VULKAN_SYMBOLS as the only
variable that can be customised on the command line. There are many
others that are useful though, such as MVK_LOG_*. This commit
makes the Makefile more generic and allows to forward to xcode whatever
variable was declared on the command line.
Add build environment variable MVK_HIDE_VULKAN_SYMBOLS. to allow MoltenVK
to be built with static Vulkan API symbols hidden, to avoid library linking
conflicts when bound to a Vulkan Loader that also exports identical symbols.
The default value of MVK_HIDE_VULKAN_SYMBOLS is 0,
meaning Vulkan static symbols are exposed by default.
Add MVK_PUBLIC_VULKAN_SYMBOL directive to mark each Vulkan call symbols
for exporting or hiding.
Update the MoltenVK Xcode project to add the MVK_HIDE_VULKAN_SYMBOLS build
setting, and set the ENABLE_TESTABILITY build setting to NO, because it
conflicts with stripping symbols.
Update MoltenVK version to 1.1.7.
- Delete fat library and framework scripts and templates.
- MoltenVK build package now only includes one XCFramework, and separate platform dylibs.
- Modify fetchDependencies and Makefile targets to not build fat libraries,
and to build simulators separately than platforms instead.
- Script package_moltenvk.sh now copies dylibs for all built platforms.
- Consolidate package_all.sh and delete package_one_os.sh.
- Swap names of copy_lib_to_staging.sh and copy_to_staging.sh scripts.
- Cube demo now uses MoltenVK as XCFramework, and support Simulator builds.
- Hologram demo now uses MoltenVK as dylibs from new packaging location.
- API-Samples demo now uses MoltenVK as XCFramework.
- Update documentation.
Create shader converters as XCFrameworks.
Don't create shader converters as fat libs, dylibs, or regular frameworks.
Rename create_xcframework.sh to create_xcframework_func.sh.
Use separate MoltenVK packaging scripts for one or all OS's.
Add package_one_os.sh.
Remove package_shader_converter_lib.sh.
Remove redundant GLSL shader converter dependencies in MoltenVK packaging targets.
Fix the make install build command to overwrite the existing framework
in the system framework library.
Update README.md to clarify the instructions for using make install.
tool now validates converted MSL with a test compilation.
Project build scripts now build dylib and framework in separate build directories
to enable MoltenVKShaderConverter to link to static library instead of dynamic library.
Final Package structure remains the same.
In Debug build, copy dylib dSYM files to Package.
Package/Latest directory now links relative to local Debug or Release directory.
Add install option to Makefile.
MoltenVKShaderConverter tool now validates converted MSL with a test compilation.
Clean up various MSL conversion and compilation error logging.
MVKCommandResourceFactory wrap Metal library compile with autorelease pool.
Build ExternalDependencies with same symbol hiding as MoltenVK to suppress visibility warnings.

Support creation of static library and build framework and dynamic library from it.
Add Makefile to better support command line or script building integration.
Update demos to each use one of framework, static library, and dynamic library.
Refactor and rename the build scripts.
Refactor and rename the Xcode Schemes.
Update build and runtime documentation.
