OpenGL in iOS simulator is unusably slow


As per title, simulator is super slow, so my questions is there any way to improve OpenGL performance in iOS simulator?


Solution

  • The Simulator supports GPU acceleration for Metal starting with iOS 13 on macOS Catalina. OpenGL ES is still software rendered and is likely to remain that way.

    I strongly recommend moving to Metal.
