There is no ETA for this? It doesn't seem too hard and would allow to develop Metal apps much faster (given the time to deploy on device versus the time to deploy on simulator)

Any update on this? This is a showstopper for us, as Metal support is being required by Apple soon

* [msbuild] Provide the correct value for the operating system for tvOS and watchOS to a few tasks. Fixes #6200. (#7226)

The problem with #6200 was that we'd pass -mios-version-min=x.y to the metal
tool even for tvOS apps. This fixes it so that now pass -mtvos-version-min.

Fixes #6200.

* [msbuild] Add support for Metal in the simulator. Fixes #7392. (#7983)
