That failed eval is actually a git error, not sure what's going on there

I made the changes you suggested, but I have a question about passthru.updateScript. I was under the impression that the default was to use nix-update-script. Are you just suggesting that I be explicit here or am I wrong about the default behavior?

No, AFAIK there is no default (in general: all packages under pythonPackages have nix-update-script by default). So it is useful to explicitly add it.

Thanks for testing @DimitarNestorov !

Hello, love that xcodegen is supported here. However, it's not installed correctly. I'm getting the following errors when I run it, which results a different xcodeproj file when running xcodegen when installed by homebrew or mint. I cannot switch to Nix until this is resolved, as I rely on xcodegen.

Here is my error

Running `xcodegen generate -s ./xcodegen.yml`
⚙️  Generating plists...
⚙️  Generating project...
No "base" settings found

No "release config" settings found

I see that @DimitarNestorov received a similar error here.

The missing files are static settings files packaged along side the xcodegen binary, from the SettingsPresets folder in source code.
