Description

Hi,

Note: I haven't build it yet on Mac.

Can I use the osx/daily bash script to build on Mac?

What are other requirements beside the base ones like qt, qtkeychain, cmake etc?

Does Nextcloud CI use this script to build for Mac?

Any changes to the script required, same like Windows version build.bat etc?

Any other helpful tips for a successful build be appreciated too. :)

Thanks

Research direction

Start by reading the osx/daily bash script and compare it with build.bat, then check the stated base requirements such as Qt, QtKeychain, and CMake. Determine whether Nextcloud CI uses the macOS script and document any additional requirements, script changes, or build tips needed for a successful Mac build.
