@theutz:matrix.orgtheutz As someone who hasn’t watched Apple under politics for awhile, I am curious what people think this means for the future of Apple. 05:26:06
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetDoes swift-testing not work on darwin without xctest?09:12:53
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHet And also swift-corelibs-xctest? 09:13:48
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeTesting depends on Xcode stuff, so neither work, but they at least will build and link.10:32:15
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIt may be possible to modify them to work like Linux does but on Darwin, but it’s a non-trivial change, and I don’t think upstream would accept it.10:55:49

@insipx:matrix.orginsipxhere's my attempt at iOS Cross Compilation: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/512100 would love feedback on if i'm going in the right direction. haven't started on any "prebuilt" stuff, but with that stack i'm able to cross-compile all libxmtp ios libraries for x86_64-darwin,aarch64-darwin, and iphone64 + iphone64-simulator targets using xcode 26.3. I wasn't able to get all of propagate-inputs.nix working for the cross compile but that's what i'm currently working through to see if it results in less churn upstream of the package changes. so far getting that working looks like it may require some small hacky-ish patches to libresolv and copyfile packages14:30:21
