    • I have managed to get GPU skinning to work with Unity 2019.2.1f1 using ES 3.1 compute shaders.
    • I have failed to get GPU skinning to work with ES 3.0.
    • I have failed to get any GPU skinning to work with Unity 2018.2.21f1.
    • Are there known Unity versions which do not have working GPU skinning?
    • Are there known Unity versions which do have working GPU skinning?
    • Is there GPU skinning for ES 3.0? What are requirements for this to be used?

    There was a bug with GPU skinning on Android, here's a link: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...n-newer-mali-devices-and-gpu-skinning-enabled
    It should work with versions for which the issue tracker says "fixed".
    GPU skinning requires compute shader support, which is not available on ES 3.0. It requires ES 3.1.

    @wolilio yes, that's the same thing
    It's fixed in 2020+ docs, not sure what became to the backport, will check
