toolchain build kivy fails to build#971

Versions

Python : 3.13.3
MacOS version : 15.3.1

steps I used:

  1. create a directory for project and git clone https://github.com/kivy/kivy-ios.git to the directory.

  2. cd kivy-ios/kivy_ios -> python3 -m venv venv -> source venv/bin/activate -> sudo pip install cython==0.29.33 kivy-ios -> cd .. -> sudo pip install -r requirements.txt -> cd kivy_ios

  3. make sure your're using xcode 15 not xcode 16 (will failed to build), use "sudo xcode-select -s /path_to_xcode 15" to change the default Xcode

  4. Use "sudo toolchain build" for dependencies under the recipes directory, and use "sudo toolchain pip install" for dependencies not under the recipes directory.
    Expected behavior
    toolchain is able to build kivy successfully.
