I had tried some in the past, and so re-downloaded those, and also downloaded other free ones. Think I have five now. All of them settle on the splash screen, flash briefly to a black screen, do the 3D spin, then either went to a black screen and stayed there, or quit out to the iOS home screen. They get a lot further than my test app before I did the acceleratedRendering fix.

I think you should find a device that you can test iOS 12 on.
