Xcode SDK

Install Apple's command line tools before building on macOS. Byte's macOS backends use the platform SDK frameworks directly, including Metal, AppKit, QuartzCore, Foundation, and Core Audio.

xcode-select --install
xcrun --show-sdk-path

If you already have the full Xcode app installed, select it explicitly so xcrun, clang, and the Metal SDK resolve from the same developer directory.

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
sudo xcodebuild -license accept

Homebrew Packages

Install the native build tools used by Byte's Rust dependencies.

brew install cmake pkg-config
