Shader performance data maybe unavailable due to deployment target older than device version

Question

In a nutshell, I just want to know if I should be concerned about this issue:

runtime: GPU Frame Capture:

Shader performance data maybe unavailable due to deployment target older than device version

The device I am using is running iOS 12.0, and when I had the app set to target iOS 12, this issue was not appearing.

However, after I changed the app's target to 11.4, this appeared.

Based on my reading of it, and the performance of my app following the change, I do not think this is of any real concern and just exists to alert me that there could be problems obtaining shader performance data.

Short of testing against an 11.4 device, is there anything I can or even should, do to remove it?

Thanks @JMCoder. Just one suggestion would be to mention how you got to the scheme editor, as some future users may not recognize this screen and could benefit from the assistance. – CodeBender Dec 05 '18 at 23:28

Should he be concerned or not. The answers does not answer that question at all ? – Hope Feb 10 '20 at 06:37

@Hope You raise a valid point, but I have since followed up here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/frame_capture_debugging_tools/enabling_frame_capture where Apple discusses this in detail. The gist is that this tool is purely for debugging purposes. – CodeBender Mar 03 '20 at 16:47
