There is either: 300 es or 330 (core).

300 without any addition is automatically parsed as 300 core which is non existent, hence the compile error.

As usually some compiler are more relaxed than others 😉

~~Fix: Change 300 to 300 es or--where needed--to 330~~

No problem on our side, seems that OpenGL is now officially unsupported in favor of Metal.

PR #493 fixed the Blender plugin to work on MacOS.

Release 0.12.1 updates all shaders to "version 330 core" an thereby breaks Android and Blazor. We urgently need some sort of way to provide correct shaders by platform (see #498)

Fusee.Tools.CmdLine works mostly. "fusee install" and "fusee publish -p desktop" doesn't work (publish desktop deploys a windows executable). "fusee publish -p web" works but uses a nasty hack to deploy the correct shader version.

Tests on a 2018 MacBook Pro (Intel) resulted in awkward screen flickering wich even persisted a reboot.
