openGL deprecation issue.

Open aayushsri17 opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

opengl will get deprecated and will not run on iOS 12 and above. Apple suggests to use Metal/Petal framework instead. i have implemented this library in my project .. i would like to know the future scope if i use this library. will it get deprecated? or it wont run on iOS 12 and above.

Sure, but not now.

You will get no deprecated message of OpenGL if you are building your apps with Deployment Target below iOS 12.0.

You can only deploy your app with target iOS 12 if you don't want any users that using a lower-than-iOS12 system.

And for android users, there are lots of devices with no Vulkan support (OpenGL is the only choice)

So, for most cases, OpenGL is still useful. There are years of time for upgrading this repo with Metal. Maybe most Android devices support Vulkan at that time.
