@insipx:matrix.orginsipx *

There wasn't much consensus on how much one should build with nix vs apple toolchain.

where did those discussions take place previously? is there a github issue/pr/discussion of relevance

@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpenix on macos room couple years ago I think22:54:45
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpethere is https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#ios but I think it's bitrotted into oblivion22:55:43
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit was a lot less than two years ago :D23:03:54
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily but yes, making apple-sdk support iOS would be the thing to do there 23:04:09
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyApp Store requires you to use Apple's toolchain nominally23:04:17
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilybut it'd be a lot less painful to support our toolchain23:04:26
@insipx:matrix.orginsipxoh interesting. by "your toolchain" do you mean something that is not xcodeenv or the impure xcode symlinks nix is creating ? So something like a nix stdenv clang/llvm?23:57:30

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyiOS should be "just another triple" for cross compilation for the most part. though I think actually getting the SDK is going to be slightly annoying since it can't be downloaded from the software update command line tools like we do for the macOS one I guess. but you can just pull the source out of our Xcode package that requires you to manually inject it into the store or w/e00:18:26
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilywhen you start caring about the letter of App Store requirements is when it gets tricky00:18:40
