Building from Source
If building yourself, you may wish to use the version of Xcode used at the time to build the commit you are building.
On branches diverging before 1 May 2024 (that is, before safari-7619.1.12-branch, see WebKit#27941), you must run Tools/Scripts/configure-xcode-for-embedded-development before 1st build or any time you reinstall/update Xcode or its SDKs.
Beginning 2 January 2024, you can just ad hoc sign with no changes to CyberKit itself which is especially convenient if you want to build in a macOS VM on Apple Silicon where you can't sign in to your Apple ID.
You will build the "Everything up to CyberKit" target then the appropriate app.
