make bazel-generate fails with SDK "macosx10.10" not found

[rimadeodhar]

Describe the problem

Attempting to run make bazel-generate on my local machine in cockroach db repo gives me the following error:

❯ make bazel-generate

Running bazel build also gives me the same error.

xcodebuild --show-sdks gives me this list:

❯ xcodebuild -showsdks                                               
iOS SDKs:
        iOS 14.5                        -sdk iphoneos14.5

macOS SDKs:
        DriverKit 20.4                  -sdk driverkit.macosx20.4
        macOS 11.3                      -sdk macosx11.3

        tvOS 14.5                       -sdk appletvos14.5

tvOS Simulator SDKs:
        Simulator - tvOS 14.5           -sdk appletvsimulator14.5

watchOS SDKs:
        watchOS 7.4                     -sdk watchos7.4

watchOS Simulator SDKs:
        Simulator - watchOS 7.4         -sdk watchsimulator7.4

I can work around this issue by passing the argument -c opt --macos_sdk_version=11.3 for bazel build. For e.g., bazel build works when I run the following command and pass in the macOS SDK version explicitly:

bazel build -c opt --macos_sdk_version=11.3 pkg/cmd/cockroach-short

I don't have a workaround for make bazel-generate.

See slack thread for more context.

To Reproduce Encountered this error on GH CI for my PR: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/pull/65683. Attempting to run make bazel-generate on my local dev machine gave me the above error.

Expected behavior make bazel-generate and bazel build should work with the new SDK version.

I'm not sure what the exact shape of the overall problem here is, but you can fix this by adding the following to your .bazelrc.user:

build --macos_sdk_version=11.3

I'm hitting this too.

xcodebuild -showsdks
DriverKit SDKs:
        DriverKit 21.0.1                -sdk driverkit21.0.1

Adding build --macos_sdk_version=12.0 to my $GOPATH/go/src/github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/.bazelrc.user file fixed the issue.

I get the same error when running ./dev doctor on a freshly provisioned Mac. The suggested fix helps.

FYI on the latest Monterey I need build --macos_sdk_version=12.3.
