    I'm trying to build without Metal and I'm getting this linker error:

    Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:

    "_MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice", referenced from:

    ARKitXRCameraProvider::SetupMetal() in UnityARKit.a(ARKitXRCameraProvider.o)

    ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

    clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

    The ARKit XR Plugin currently requires metal.

    Could you explain your use case for not using Metal a bit more?

    Hi Thanks a for for your time.

    Since metal create some problem with my recording video sdk, there is a way to control the graphics API at runtime instead?

    Hey @Ikaro88, switching graphics API at runtime is not supported.
