The MoltenVK library (dylib) is considered as an ICD (Installable Client Driver) by the Vulkan loader. The Vulkan loader dynamically loads ICDs at execution time. When using the Vulkan loader, ICDs are not linked directly to the application. Similarly, the Vulkan loader dynamically loads the layers at execution time. Layers are not linked directly to the application. The MoltenVK library is a little unusual because it is built in such a way that an application can link to it directly and run MoltenVK (Vulkan subset) applications without using the loader and layers. But if you want to use the loader and layers, you don't link MoltenVK and the layers to your application. You link only the loader. The loader then dynamically loads the MoltenVK lib as an ICD and dynamically loads the layers if requested.
Updating to net6.0 Including Constants for different OSes
Rolling back OS Constants
Included KHR portability subset to work on MoltenVK. Bit set into InstanceCreateInfo for Enumerate Portability. The project works on MacOS 13.1 now on Apple Silicon.

Summary of the PR
The current implementation only works on Windows, based on my tests it was never validated over MoltenVK,
I successfully managed to run on the Mac after troubleshooting and fixing the Vulkan initialisation config.
Related issues, Discord discussions, or proposals
My proposal is to bring the fixes to the Experiment and hopefully some enhancements to make this an official example.
