Using MacOS SDK 11.0 on x86

[arximboldi]

I am writting an application for Mac that is packaged using Nix. We need features SDK 10.14, namely setting the dark theme. Sadly, the provided Apple SDK is ancient, version 10.12. I notice that there is another issue #101229 trying to tackle this.

However, I've also noticed that SDK 11.0 is already provided fro AArch64 (I guess for new M1 Macs?). I have tried to use it on my my machine by doing directly:

let apple_sdk_11_0 = pkgs.callPackage (nixpkgs + "/pkgs/os-specific/darwin/apple-sdk-11.0") { };

And then referencing the frameworks I need:

    apple_sdk_11_0.frameworks.AppKit
    apple_sdk_11_0.frameworks.Cocoa
    apple_sdk_11_0.frameworks.CoreAudio
    apple_sdk_11_0.frameworks.CoreMIDI
    apple_sdk_11_0.frameworks.CoreServices
    apple_sdk_11_0.frameworks.Security
    apple_sdk_11_0.frameworks.OpenGL

However, I eventually get this error:

Is there a workaround for this? Any other workarounds that you can suggest?

The 11.0 SDK is now available on x86_64-darwin with the merging of #176661.
