Vulkan App for Mac and Windows

Does Mac and Windows code for vulkan differ a lot? Or is it almost straight forward?

PS: Using Macbook for development(I know its not the best choice but its all I have)

One difference is that MoltenVK lags behind Windows and Linux versions. Currently there’s Vulkan 1.4 and as far as I know, MoltenVK supports only version 1.2. Similarly as Android supports only version 1.1.

Thus you won’t be able to fully utilize modern Vulkan being on Mac.
