Issue building launcher related to Appkit dependency

[mkonda]

Hi there. Thanks for all of your work on Fleet and Launcher. Experimentation has been very positive so far.

I'm seeing issues building Launcher. I don't do much with XCode or Swift other than install CLI tools but it looks like maybe there is a dependency on something in the front end based on this Appkit error?

I tried a few simple things like opening a project in XCode GUI but I'm not sure where to go next...

Detail below. LMK if I can help by providing more info.

Note: package-builder built fine and the launcher it built worked fine. So certainly not urgent.

If you're using package-builder it defaults to downloading the last stable build from Kolide, not building launcher from source.

But the appkit thing does look like there's some missing dependency. No part of this uses xcode. It's all pretty plain go (and cgo) with a make wrapper,

What OS are you running the build on? Anything weird?

[mkonda]

Mac OS X 10.15.4 (Catalina). Some other details in the second blurb (go, gcc, osquery, etc.)

I write some go and have been able to build in general just fine.

Happy to try things if it would be helpful.

I suspect this is stale.
