   to find a cached shader, by only considering resources from the current shader stage.
 - Rename `kMVKShaderStageMax` to `kMVKShaderStageCount`.
 - Fix crash when requesting `MTLCommandBuffer` logs in runtime debug mode on older OS versions.
+- Protect against crash when retrieving `MTLTexture` when `VkImage` has no `VkDeviceMemory` bound.
 - Fix internal reference from `SPIRV_CROSS_NAMESPACE_OVERRIDE` to `SPIRV_CROSS_NAMESPACE`.
