| To create a sname:VkSurfaceKHR object for an iOS code:UIView, call: |
| |
| include::../../api/protos/vkCreateIOSSurfaceMVK.txt[] |
| |
| * pname:instance is the instance with which to associate the surface. |
| * pname:pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the |
| slink:VkIOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK structure containing parameters |
| affecting the creation of the surface object. |
| * pname:pAllocator is the allocator used for host memory allocated for the |
| surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see |
| <<memory-allocation,Memory Allocation>>). |
| * pname:pSurface points to a slink:VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the |
| created surface object is returned. |

| The slink:VkIOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK structure is defined as: |
| |
| include::../../api/structs/VkIOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK.txt[] |
| |
| * pname:sType is the type of this structure. |
| * pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure. |
| * pname:flags is reserved for future use. |
| * pname:pView is a reference to a code:UIView object which will display |
| this surface. |
| This code:UIView must: be backed by a code:CALayer instance of type |
| code:CAMetalLayer. |

| * [[VUID-VkIOSSurfaceCreateInfoMVK-pView-01316]] |
| pname:pView must: be a valid code:UIView and must: be backed by a |
