I encountered this problem too. I found that the framework uses programmable blending which is not supported in the iOS simulator. However, it perfectly works on real devices and when you debug the app natively on Apple Silicon macs. The problem can probably be solved on the VideoLab side by reimplementing common blend modes with their fixed-function counterparts.
