xcode paths being set by devenv.

[niteshbalusu11]

I am unable to understand where nix is setting xcode paths. I removed all react-native related things in my devenv file and left only android, may I know why ios paths are being set? I am unable to override them.

My devenv.nix file

{ pkgs, lib, config, inputs, ... }:
{
  android = {
    platforms.version = [ "35" "34" ];
    enable = true;
    android-studio.enable = false;
    platformTools.version = "35.0.2";
    ndk = {
      enable = true;
      version = [ "25.1.8937393" "26.1.10909125" ];
    };
    buildTools.version = [ "35.0.0" "34.0.0" ];
  };

  languages.javascript.enable = true;
  languages.javascript.bun.enable = true;

}

inside my project directory:

❯ xcode-select -p
/nix/store/2y71rl5mnazwnpwpcq07xx97jl7sy5lh-apple-sdk-11.3

outside my project directory:

❯ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Yeah, I can confirm devenv is setting SDK paths, I am unable to override them.

Looks like related issue.

xcode looks for the DEVELOPER_DIR environment variable. You can try adding unset DEVELOPER_DIR to enterShell.

Not sure if there's a more elegant way of removing the apple-sdk from the stdenv at the moment.

Another way:

devenv.nix:

{ pkgs, lib, config, inputs, ... }:

{
  stdenv = pkgs.stdenv.override {
    extraBuildInputs = [ ];
  };
}

I switched to using devenv with flakes and it seems to be working, idk why it works differently with this.

Functionally the same thing. The only difference would be the version of nixpkgs.
