Fix MacOS build

[zeyus]

I have access to an MacOS computer (and iPads), so I thought I could have a stab at getting the build working. I've been working a lot with dart and flutter for my research platform, and have had to deal with some similar issues (with the exception of rust libs, I've been using C FFI native libs).

I'm looking for some feedback on this PR, both in terms of scope and how you would like to have it chunked.

What this PR does already:

• Makes the build for MacOS work
  • Adds required entitlements and Info.plist entries
• Allows commet to launch and work on MacOS, including connecting to a homeserver, seeing messages, etc

Untested yet:

• iOS, while I added the required entries for camera and mic to the Info.plist, I haven't built and tested iOS yet

Not working on MacOS:

• Emoji - no exception but they show up empty

important: While using the main github version of the apple media_kit_* packages fixes the main problem that broke the build, obviously pointing to the head of a repo is dangerous. Would you prefer:

• Pointing to a specific commit hash
• That I make a fork / branch
• That commetchat org makes a fork / branch

any is fine for me, once I know I can update the PR.

Thanks!

Edit: I wanted to make it clear that none of the changes in the PR, nor the text above used generative AI.

Thank you for the PR!

If i'm not mistaken, this looks like mostly a duplicate of the work done in #525. probably the best approach would be for me to merge that PR in to main, and then you can apply your changes over the top of that

I think that's a good idea, I can make this PR dependent on that one, I missed it completely.

But there are some things missing from that PR

• no Info.plist changes to required permission
• no .entitlements (without plist and entitlements no mic/cam/etc support)
• no media lib changes, the build fails without using the patched /head version

So I think both are beneficial

@Airyzz I've made some additional changes and now commet is fully functional on MacOS. I connected to my matrix homeserver and started using it :)

I'm still happy to build off the other PR if necessary
