• [ ] simulator libs? is this possible? https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/issues/6966 answer: Change dependency libraries from fat .a libs to .xcframework system with version numbers - allowing simulator arm64 + arm64 device target
• [ ] iOS simulator libs? https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/issues/6966
• [ ] what to do with ofxAccelerometer? https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/issues/6884

• [ ] Core dependencies compiled with arm64 device BITCODE = yes
• [x] A brand new LaunchScreen storyboard, maybe a svg logo to replace all the old images there. color background instead of image https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/pull/6983

I am also working on a Metal override for GLKit via MetalANGLE! Not sure if we want to slate that for 12 maybe 13 Looking promising in prototype. I have core linked to framework, compiling and confirmed override of GLKit render with Metal with automatic conversion of GL shaders and calls

In process of converting a new MLKit layer to target, this will be the future as GLKit and Open GLES can now be routed automatically into Metal

Wow that's great news @danoli3 !

I would say : 1- Camera 2- Image Picker from iPhone/iPad Photos Library 3- Retina ( If I load image from Library or image taken directly from Camera and draw it,the image is downscaled) 4- The whole graphics are downscaled if you have the retina activated on main.mm

Thanks! By camera you mean outdated examples? like plist permission files as in this issue? https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/issues/6723

I think the camera and photo album controller (UIImagePickerController) should appear/ dismiss with animation and/or if possible to use the native UIImagePickerControllerDelegate and UINavigationControllerDelegate to use the native iOS Camera ;)

[dimitre]

If you submit a PR for the changes (UIImagePickerControllerDelegate) I can help testing here in my side
