Bill Hollings has announced the release of the MoltenVK Vulkan SDK 1.3.280.

MoltenVK Release for Vulkan SDK 1.3.280

• Add support for extensions:
  • VK_KHR_shader_integer_dot_product
• Improve support for iOS App Store rules by using dynamic XCFramework, instead of naked dylib.
  • Static XCFramework now available in Package/Latest/MoltenVK/static/MoltenVK.xcframework.
  • Dynamic XCFramework now available in Package/Latest/MoltenVK/dynamic/MoltenVK.xcframework.
  • macOS dynamic library now available in Package/Latest/MoltenVK/dynamic/dylib/macOS/libMoltenVK.dylib.
• Add MVK_USE_METAL_PRIVATE_API build setting to allow MoltenVK to be built with access to Metal private API calls.
  • VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures::wideLines enabled when MVK_USE_METAL_PRIVATE_API is enabled in a MoltenVK build.
  • VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures::logicOp enabled when MVK_USE_METAL_PRIVATE_API is enabled in a MoltenVK build.
  • VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures::depthBounds enabled on AMD GPUs when MVK_USE_METAL_PRIVATE_API is enabled in a MoltenVK build.
  • VkPhysicalDevicePortabilitySubsetFeaturesKHR::samplerMipLodBias enabled when MVK_USE_METAL_PRIVATE_API is enabled in a MoltenVK build.
  • Metal native pipeline sample masks supported when MVK_USE_METAL_PRIVATE_API is enabled in a MoltenVK build.
• Enable use of native texture atomics where supported.
• Fix potential crash when using multi-planar images.
• Fix translation of fully remapped multi vertex attribute bindings.
• Fix unresolvable layered compute resolve.
• Fix visionOS build.
• Handle depth/stencil swizzle sample correctly.
• Ensure buffers available for buffer addresses in push constants.
• Don't update currentExtent of headless surface when swapchain attached.
• Don't return VK_SUBOPTIMAL_KHR for headless surfaces.
• runcts script also output a file containing a list of the failed CTS tests.
• Add documentation for using Metal GPU capture with MoltenVK.
• Update minimum macOS deployment target to 10.15.
• Update minimum iOS/tvOS deployment target to 13.0.
• Update dependency libraries to match Vulkan SDK 1.3.280.
• Update MVK_PRIVATE_API_VERSION to 40.
• Update to latest SPIRV-Cross:
  • MSL: Plumb through member state to image/sampler types.
  • MSL: Support variable sized descriptor array in argument buffer.
  • MSL: Implement spvDescriptorArray path for SSBO/UBO.
  • MSL: Add support for SPV_EXT_integer_dot_product.
  • MSL: Fix misc sign issues with dot product impl and add more coverage.
  • MSL: Handle volatile properly for emulated image atomics.
  • MSL: OpCopyObject declare a temp var of base type, not pointer type.
  • MSL: Pass texture array index separately to atomic texture operations.
  • MSL: Test image atomic for image2DArray.
  • MSL: Improve handling of BDA + atomics.
  • MSL: Fix type hierarchy for extended vectors.
