If you pass the C string directly to NSLog(), it will be garbled with Japanese and probably other language strings, or no log will be output at all.
NSLog("Hello, World!"); // => "Hello, World!"
NSLog("こんにちは、世界！"); // => No output...
Therefore, you need to convert the string to an NSString before passing it to NSLog().
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"こんにちは、世界！"];
NSLog(@"%@", str); // => "こんにちは、世界！"
Thank you.
The two are only ever called together, and combining them makes it possible
to eliminate redundant symbol loading and redundant attempts to connect
to a display server.

"A few weeks ago, Alex added a partial Metal API to SDL2:
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/22c8e7cd8d38
I noticed it was missing a few features that would help Metal become a
first-class citizen in SDL, so I went ahead and wrote them! Here are the new
APIs:
1. SDL_WINDOW_METAL flag for SDL_CreateWindow(). This allows the programmer
to specify that they intend to create a window for use with SDL_MetalView.
The flag is used to ensure correct usage of the API and to prevent
accidentally defaulting to OpenGL on iOS.
2. SDL_Metal_GetLayer(). This function takes a SDL_MetalView and returns a
pointer to the view's backing CAMetalLayer. This simplifies things
considerably, since in the current version of the SDL_Metal API the
programmer is required to bridge-cast a SDL_MetalView handle to an NSView or
UIView (depending on the platform) and then extract the layer from there.
SDL_Metal_GetLayer automatically handles all of that, making the operation
simple and cross-platform.
3. SDL_Metal_GetDrawableSize(). This function already exists in the current
SDL_Metal API (and is used behind-the-scenes for SDL_Vulkan_GetDrawableSize
on Apple platforms) but was not publicly exposed. My patch exposes this
function for public use. It works just like you'd expect.
Tested on macOS 10.14 and iOS 12.4."
Fixes Bugzilla #4796.

Since OpenGL is deprecated on iOS, it is advantageous to be able to remove all OpenGL related code when building SDL for iOS. This patch adds the necessary #if checks to compile in this case.

On iOS 12, creating a window with the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN flag does not dim the home indicator or defer system gestures. The same goes for setting the SDL_HINT_IOS_HIDE_HOME_INDICATOR to "2" -- it has no effect at all.
I've tracked down the source of this misbehavior to a timing issue. The initial `setNeedsUpdate...` calls were happening too early and getting applied to the launch screen by mistake. In the attached patch, I've added a call to those functions right after the launch screen is hidden so that they apply to the main view controller instead. This appears to fix the issue, at least on my iPhone 6s Plus.
The Apple TV remote is currently exposed as a joystick with its touch surface treated as two axes. Key presses are also generated when its buttons and touch surface are used.
A new hint has been added to help deal with deciding whether to background the app when the remote's menu button is pressed: SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
