Metal is the standard graphics API for Apple platforms. It’s optimized for Apple devices and provides a low-overhead API for the platforms it supports.
Unity uses Metal graphics for Apple platforms by default so there is no need to perform steps to enable it.
Important: Apple deprecated support for OpenGL and OpenGL ES, and you can’t submit applications that use OpenGL or OpenGL ES to the App Store. You should only use Metal to support Unity applications that run on Apple platforms.
