Hmmm.... Wild! I was playing around with my app and stopping now and then and checking for leaks in the Debug Memory Graph. In there some of my objects stayed around much longer than their lifespan and where even flagged as leaked. Looking at the graphs I did see pretty impressive node cycles. Howevery when I continue using the app, these objects seem to disappear and even the 'leaked' objects are gone. Which means the memory graph itself is probably useless? How am I supposed to check if I am having memory leaks or not? I am dealing with pretty large images, so I really need to be sure... Do I need to create a new modelContext to be sure that I get rid of objects I do not need any more?

Partially Resolved: Once you switch off Metal API Validation it does not crash any more. (But it also does not validate Metal APIs any more...). But what is the point in Metal API validation if it CRASHES the app because of non-existent issues? Is it a regular thing that you need to switch between Schemes when you switch from a physical device to the simulator?

This still seems to be a problem - also on iPad on 14.6 with TrackPad control (MagicKeyboard) and Catalyst on Mac OS 11.4. It works on the iPad Simulator though...
