  1. Resolution Note:

    Thank you for reporting a bug to Unity.
    We have reviewed the issue carefully, and in this case, the team is unable to prioritize fixing this bug. There are a number of reasons we make this decision, including the impact and severity of the issue across our user and customer base, and the possibility that future plans may solve the problem in a different way, or that a workaround for the bug may be available.
    Regarding the Visual Effect Graph, it’s important to note that it currently does not support mobile devices. As an alternative, we recommend using the Particle System, which is fully supported on mobile platforms.
    Today we will be closing this case. Thank you again for taking the time to report this issue.
