what gaming related SDKs does apple provide?

Apple provides several gaming-related SDKs and tools to help developers create and port games to their platforms. Here are some of the key SDKs and tools mentioned:

1. Metal: A low-level, high-performance graphics API that provides near-direct access to the GPU. It supports unified shaders and device initialization, making it easier to develop for both macOS and iOS.
2. Gameporting Toolkit: This toolkit helps developers port their games from other platforms to Apple devices. It includes tools for evaluating games, converting gaming subsystems, building shaders, and adapting the game's UI for various display sizes. The latest version, Gameporting Toolkit 2, includes improvements for ray tracing, graphics and compute compatibility, and performance.
3. Core Haptics: Provides advanced haptic feedback capabilities for game controllers.
4. Phase: A physical audio specialization engine that helps create rich, dynamic audio experiences and simulate complex effects like geometric sound occlusion.
5. Audio Middleware SDKs: Popular middleware like Audio Kinetic Wwise and FMOD are available for Apple devices, allowing for integration of music and sound effects.
