Using Pico SDK from XCode on macOS

[Kevinw14]

Is there anyway I can install the SDK to /usr/local/include so I can point Xcode's search paths to the header files I need?

@aallan I think you might be the only person with any knowledge about Xcode...? 😉

So I was trying to get some interest together pre-launch for XCode support. But the folks I tapped for it in the community just didn't have the availability at the time. It's definitely doable, but it's not high on my list at the moment.

I'm going to leave this issue open, but it's probably a wontfix unless we get some external help from the Apple dev community.

If you are tying this issue to the XCode thing probably you want to re-title it. I have installed the SDK on MacOS and I was going to open an issue with my steps to suggest including it on the guide, but this issue is entitled exactly how I was going to title mine, so either you repurpose this issue or change its title. no?

It's a shame that progress on raspberrypi/pico-setup#20 seems to have come to a halt 😕

I don't know your particular use case, but can't you just add the SDK's include directory to the search paths of your Xcode project? In fact, shouldn't CMake do that automatically when it generates the Xcode project? (it's the setting "Header Search Paths", or "HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS" if you're using an .xcconfig file)
