It was originally added to work around an input event problem in the code of a specific app which mixed SDL and native UIViews, but that app solved its problems in a better manner since then.
This was to deal with broken vsync support in macOS 10.14, which we assumed
would remain broken indefinitely, but a later 10.14 released fixed it.
This is a loss of late-swap support, but there are several subtle problems
in our CVDiplayLink code that are also evaporating, to be fair.
Fixes Bugzilla #4575.

Current code, search paths, and error messages are written to only consider MoltenVK on macOS as a Vulkan Portability implementation. It's not the only implementation available to the users. gfx-portability [1] has been shown to run a number of titles well, including Dota2, Dolphin Emulator, and vkQuake3, often out-performing MoltenVK in frame rate and stability (see Dolphin benchmark [2]).
There is no reason for SDL to be that specific, it's not using any MVK-specific functions other than the WSI initialization ("VK_MVK_macos_surface"). gfx-portability exposes this extension as well, and a more generic WSI extension is in process. It would be good if SDL was written in a more generic way that expect a Vulkan Portability library as opposed to MoltenVK specifically.

On iOS 12, creating a window with the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN flag does not dim the home indicator or defer system gestures. The same goes for setting the SDL_HINT_IOS_HIDE_HOME_INDICATOR to "2" -- it has no effect at all.
I've tracked down the source of this misbehavior to a timing issue. The initial `setNeedsUpdate...` calls were happening too early and getting applied to the launch screen by mistake. In the attached patch, I've added a call to those functions right after the launch screen is hidden so that they apply to the main view controller instead. This appears to fix the issue, at least on my iPhone 6s Plus.

On Android, if you set no attribute using SDL_GL_SetAttribute(), and try to create a SDL Render OpenGLES 1:
- it loads first by default GLESv2 libraries
- creates the rendere OpenGLES 1
- recreates the Window to have a context 1.1 ( https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/4db4cfd59470/src/render/opengles/SDL_render_gles.c#l298 )
But it doesn't unload libraries, then reload GLESv1 lib. So the SDL_Renderer OpenGLES 1 is working with GLES 2 libs, which seems inconsistent.
If you, at first, set
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK, SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_ES);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION, 1);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION, 1);
It will correctly load GLES v1 libraries.
Here's a small patch to reload egl libs when SDL_RecreateWindow() is called.
It fixes the issue, also the case from bug 4042
( SDL_RecreateWindow() is used by SDL_Renderer gl, gles1, gles2. )

When num lock is on, the scancode reported for numpad 5 is SDL_SCANCODE_KP_5, which is correct. However, when num lock is off, windows reports the VK_CLEAR virtual key code, which is incorrectly translated into SDL_SCANCODE_CLEAR inside of the VKeytoScancode(WPARAM vkey) function.
Closing the window is asynchronous, but we free the window data immediately,
so we can get an updateLayer callback before the window is really destroyed which
will cause us to access the freed memory.
Clearing the content view will cause it to be immediately released, so no further
updateLayer callbacks will occur.
Removed incorrect call to SDL_SendWindowEvent(window, SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MOVED, x, y);
If the position of the window isn't adjusted in the SetWindowPosition() call, then sending the window event would have no effect because x and y equals the window x and y. If the position of the window is adjusted in the SetWindowPosition() call, then we don't want to clobber it with values that the user passed in.

For X11 GenericEvents, the associated data is only available between a call to XGetEventData and the matching XFreeEventData, i.e. in X11_HandleGenericEvent. Trying to call XGetEventData a second time on the same event will fail, so an application that wants to inspect XInput2 events (e.g. for stylus pressure) has no way of retrieving its data from queued SYSWM events.
The attached patch (based on SDL-2.0.7-11629) sends SYSWM messages from X11_HandleGenericEvent while the data is still available, allowing client code to register an event filter/watcher and process the event inside the callback.
Vivante drivers use the VK_KHR_display extension for rendering directly
to the frame buffer. This patch adds support to the video driver for
Vulkan rendering using that method.
- Add an utility function SDL_Vulkan_Display_CreateSurface that creates
a surface using this extension. The display to use (if there are
multiple) can be overridden using the environment variable
"SDL_VULKAN_DISPLAY".
- Use this function in a new compilation unit SDL_vivantevideo.c,
which implements the SDL_VIDEO_VULKAN methods of the driver structure.

I've seen this on several devices including Moto Z running Android 7 and a Snapdragon 845 running Android 9.
What happens is as follows:
SDLActivity.onWindowFocusChanged(true) happens pretty early on, but it's before we've done SDL_CreateWindow and so Android_Window is 0x0 thus this message does not get sent:
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL SDL_JAVA_INTERFACE(nativeFocusChanged)(
JNIEnv *env, jclass cls, jboolean hasFocus)
{
SDL_LockMutex(Android_ActivityMutex);
if (Android_Window) {
__android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_VERBOSE, "SDL", "nativeFocusChanged()");
SDL_SendWindowEvent(Android_Window, (hasFocus ? SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_GAINED : SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_LOST), 0, 0);
}
SDL_UnlockMutex(Android_ActivityMutex);
}
When the window does get created, in Android_CreateWindow it does this:
window->flags &= ~SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE; /* window is NEVER resizeable */
window->flags &= ~SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN;
window->flags |= SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN; /* only one window on Android */
window->flags |= SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS; /* always has input focus */
/* One window, it always has focus */
SDL_SetMouseFocus(window);
SDL_SetKeyboardFocus(window);
The SDL_SetKeyboardFocus does send an SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_GAINED message, but it gets eaten in SDL_SendWindowEvent because we've forced SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS beforehand:
case SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_GAINED:
if (window->flags & SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS) {
return 0;
}
window->flags |= SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS;
SDL_OnWindowFocusGained(window);
break;
I can fix the problem if I comment out this line from Android_CreateWindow:
window->flags |= SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS; /* always has input focus */
I would propose that as a fix unless there is a reason not to.
