Bevy doesn't build on macOS

[lynn-lumen]

Bevy version

latest main (#14916)

[Optional] Relevant system information

I am using cargo 1.82.0-nightly (ba8b39413 2024-08-16) on an Apple M1 running macOS Sonoma 14.2.1

What you did

Using the setup mentioned above, bevy does not compile with the following error:
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> /Users/raphael/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/accesskit_macos-0.17.0/src/patch.rs:44:13

For more information about this error, try rustc --explain E0308.
error: could not compile accesskit_macos (lib) due to 1 previous error

I assume this is not bevy's fault but it prevents bevy from being built.

I think the next step here is reproducing this on access_kit alone and filing an issue there.

Probably this is rust-lang/rust#129285.

I have the same issue on MacOS with rustc 1.82.0-nightly (4074d4902 2024-08-23).

rust-lang/rust#129285 is fixed by rust-lang/rust#129288 on Aug 26 (for rust 1.82.0, which becomes stable on Oct 17).

In the mean time I was able to get Bevy to build again by explicitly choosing rust 1.79.0 (the version in Bevy's Cargo.toml); the latest nightly (I assume any build after 2024-08-26) also works.

I can reproduce the error on nightly-2024-08-21-x86_64-apple-darwin but not on nightly-2024-11-16-x86_64-apple-darwin. So I guess rust-lang/rust#129288 helped.

[alice-i-cecile]

Marking as fixed thanks to the upstream Rust nightly release :D Very relieved to see that resolved before it hit stable.
