I am trying to work out how to enable the Metal HUD on iOS for App Store games?

I am aware you can go into Developer settings and enable it… but it only appears for some games like HADES or TestFlight apps.

I know the HUD appears for sideloaded games too. With sideloadly, I’ve sideloaded GRID Autosport and Myst - per screenshots. But it’s a very time consuming process, on demand resources usually don’t download… and I’m not sure if its legal.

I tried using Xcode and Attach to Process for a game like Resident Evil 7 or just anything… but it doesn’t work.

I’ve tried restoring a backup and editing the .GlobalPreferences.plist and info.plist file with “MetalForceHudEnabled Boolean Yes”, in a new row… but nothing.

any ideas?

The Metal Performance HUD is intended to help developers analyze their game’s performance during development. There is no supported way to enable the Metal Performance HUD for apps installed from the App Store.

I recommend filing an enhancement request via Feedback Assistant outlining your use case and sharing the FB number here.
