    I am using Unity 5.1.1 on Windows and i am trying to make a build , targeting another platform (OSX) but forcing the graphics API to OpenGL 2 because the game uses a plugin which requires it to properly work on Mac.

    But in the attached screenshot you can read "Graphics APIs for Windows" in the Rendering settings , despite i am targeting Mac.
    And of course, the game on Mac has issues with the plugin in question ( CoherentUI ) which is working well on Windows.

    So i am wondering if my OpenGL setting were correct. What am i missing in order to force OpenGL2 ?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    in Unity 5.1.1, OpenGL2 is the only graphics API available for OS X (and linux) standalone player, so there's no point in allowing its selection. It only mattered on Windows, since it supported D3D9, D3D11 and OpenGL2.

    Now, if you open this in 5.3, it will be different, as OS X now supports OpenGL2 and OpenGLCore.

    Is it even possible to build using OpenGL2 on a Mac Standalone? I've set my API preferences to try to build OpenGL and the resulting app crashes. I can build using Metal and OpenGLCore...

    This is tested by creating a new Empty project and just adding a Cube with 5.4 beta 13.

    It should work. Please submit a bug report with details of your machine: OS X version, GPU, and the project attached.
