```

## Discussion

Discussion You can respond to GPU removal notifications by registering with the MTLCopyAllDevicesWithObserver(handler:) function in Swift, or the MTLCopyAllDevicesWithObserver function in Objective-C, and responding to the removalRequested and wasRemoved device notification names. important: If a person removes a GPU without warning, MTLDevice APIs may fail even before your app receives a wasRemoved notification.
