MTLTextureDescriptor has height greater than the maximum allowed size error

I am getting the error

-[MTLTextureDescriptorInternalvalidateWithDevice:], line 1325: error 'Texture Descriptor Validation MTLTextureDescriptor has height (8334) greater than the maximum allowed size of 8192'

when trying to run my SpriteKit game on an iPhone 13 mini. This causes the game to crash on both simulator and physical device. When I test it on an iPhone 13, however, the game run fine.

What is causing this error and how do I fix it?

The size of my SKScene's are all 1284 x 2720.

Solution

  • Looks like it's a bug. According The Metal Feature Set Tables:
    All iPhone 13 models support 2D texture with resolution up to 16384 px
