When you run `nix develop`, Nix sets environment variables such as `PATH` to expose the binary dependencies to your shell. This model can be extended through shell hooks to support other build toolchains such as `pkg-config`, `cmake`, and many other language specific package managers by simply adding the repective toolchain to `nativeBuildInputs`. + +# Supported workflows + +| Workflow | macOS supported | +| ------------------------------- | --------------- | +| `keyserver` (Node.js) | ✅ **†** | +| `web` (Webpack) | ✅ **†** | +| `native` iOS (React Native) | ✅ **†** | +| `native` Android (React Native) | ✅ **†** | +| C++ services | ❌ **\*** | +| Rust services | ✅ | + +**†** Workflow requires additional steps after Nix installation (e.g. installing XCode, XCode profile, flipper, `idb`, `reactotron`, Android Studio, or Android NDK). + +**\*** Workflow requires documentation; and it requires the RabbitMQ and AWS/Localstack services to be available.
