![]() ![]() the games industry has very few experienced Mac developers and NONE with experience developing Mac software for Apple Silicon specifically iPadOS version will require developing a wholly new touch interface for the game supporting a high-GPU-intensity game on a platform without fans (no air cooling!!!) is really challenging especially if it's using brand new platform APIs (latest Metal) that could have bugs (which would require build machines/CI-pipeline to be on Ventura) Apple tends to do their mid-cycle major SDK update in late-Feb./early Mar.
