What this PR wants to do
This PR wants to modify the project build system in order to let users (mainly developers) build the app on linux, too, using theos, to then take advantage of its
make commands
to get code completion/navigation in vscode for the purpose of having an handier coding experience.How it does it
At first, I simply tried to adapt the iOS mechanism on linux without success, then I fell back on pure theos but I discovered that on iOS it can't build swift apps (I know that you already know this, I found a message of yours about this on theos discord, but I'm writing it here so that whoever is reading knows why this option was not chosen).
In the end I resigned myself to having essentially two Makefiles in one and choose the right one based on the platform.
Things not strictly related to the cross-platform objective
