Building for iOS using CMake will build without Metal support.

Editing CMakeList by adding:

if(SDL_VIDEO_RENDER_METAL)
    find_library(METAL Metal)
    list(APPEND EXTRA_LIBS ${METAL})
    file(GLOB RENDERER_SOURCES ${SDL2_SOURCE_DIR}/src/render/metal/*.m)
    set(SOURCE_FILES ${SOURCE_FILES} ${RENDERER_SOURCES})
  endif()

And setting SDL_VIDEO_RENDER_METAL=1 for target_os == "darwin" will fix the issue - however I am not exactly sure what else is missing.

From what I understand, one needs to set a bunch of defines before compiling and it's not clear cut what defines needs to be set before compiling for each platform.

I've noticed that there's also use of ./autoconf and configure is the idea that CMake is to replace those, or are they supposed to be complimentary?
