Hi,

I am a Multimedia and Graphics researcher and I am wondering if OpenGL API and drivers will be removed after appleOS 26?

macOS 26 iOS 26 iPadOS 26 visionOS 26

I am asking this because most of the libraries I use depends on OpenGL. Like CGAL, libigl, immediate mode ui, nanovg, nanogui, bullet physics. Transitioning from Vulkan and metal while using and learning those libraries is just not viable.

I would like to ask you that. I am the sole developer and I just want to ask you that.

Regards.

Apple made no announcement about the removal of OpenGL, so no, it won't be removed in version 26 of Apple operating systems.

And for the future, there is no way to know until they say something.
