Are you ok with me changing the title and description to a feature request for macOS cupport?

The server compiles for me on macOS 12.6 M1. None of the old SteamVR Mac beta branches work with it, though. SteamVR just crashes silently once you start alvr_launcher. The ALVR window changes to "Waiting for server to load... Please wait for multiple restarts". It also doesn't build the compositor wrapper or vulkan layer or copy the vulkan layer manifest, ffmpeg binaries, or ffmpeg shared lib dependencies because those are in if cfg!(target_os = "OS") blocks in xtask/src/build.rs. It's interesting that it gets this far, though.

Some conditional compilation flags for macos were inserted by me, to ease the development since my main dev machine is an M1 mac. Most of the code in the repository is made to compile on the mac without actually be able to make use of it.

I'm investigating porting this to macOS- it already works, for the most part, thanks to your work I assume. I realize this will likely also require adding a VideoToolbox encoder. My main goal for this is to run Vivecraft, which seems to be one of the last few VR games with macOS support. No dashboard appears (chromium installed and on PATH) The launcher shows "Waiting for server..." I can't access the webpage (even at http://127.0.0.1:8082), and any debug println! messages I put in init() in alvr/server/src/lib.rs don't show up. I can confirm that web_server in alvr/server/src/web_server.rs is not running as a result of the init() issue. I can also confirm that the loop the server is stuck in is launcher_lifecycle in alvr/launcher/src/main.rs. The println!("Marker") statement is all that triggers- because the webserver is not running, the loop never hits break.

let maybe_response = request_agent.get("http://127.0.0.1:8082/index.html").call();
println!("Marker");
if let Ok(response) = maybe_response {
    if response.status() == 200 {
        state.lock().unwrap().view = View::Close;
        break;
    }
}

Any thoughts? To me, it almost seems like the dylib is never loading... but I'm pretty sure it is, because I tried using DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES as well.
