All three iOS CI runs on the new m5-builder runner (jobs 75700/75702/75703) fail identically at link time:

ld: framework 'MetalFX' not found
** BUILD FAILED ** (exit 65)

This is NOT a Metal toolchain/SDK problem on the runner — compile fully succeeds, full Xcode is selected. Root cause: project.yml declares - sdk: MetalFX.framework unconditionally, while .gitea/workflows/ios.yml builds -destination 'generic/platform=iOS Simulator' — the iPhoneSimulator SDK does not ship MetalFX (device-only). Godot is already compiled out of simulator builds (#if !targetEnvironment(simulator) in GamesView.swift), so the simulator slice has no need for MetalFX at all.

Fix: make the MetalFX link SDK-conditional (OTHER_LDFLAGS[sdk=iphoneos*]), and switch CI to the more meaningful device slice with codesigning disabled. Also delete the stale .github/workflows/ios.yml duplicate and fix the README CI pointer.

Resolved in spikersoft-ios PR #2 (merged). MetalFX now links only for sdk=iphoneos* and CI builds the unsigned device slice — first green iOS CI on m5-builder. Closing.
