I am editing the winit project on Linux in VS Code and rust-analyzer says there is an error. It is trying to include some macOS specific code. It builds and checks fine with cargo. I filed a report with the project:

github.com/rust-windowing/winit

Rust-analyzer doesn't work on Linux

B - bug C - upstream

I'm using VS Code with Rust-Analyzer on Linux (Fedora 44) and I cannot go to def…initions. I'm trying to edit the `winit` examples and read the source code. I don't know if this is a Rust-Analyzer issue or a problem with `winint`. Rust-analyzer complains that: ``` `objc2` only works on Apple platforms. Pass `--target aarch64-apple-darwin` or similar to compile for macOS. ``` It is coming from the objc2 crate which is macOS specific. Maybe the conditional inclusion of code needs to be tweaked? Any ideas of what is including objc2?

I'm on rust-analyzer version 0.3.2593 and I've tried the pre-release version too.

Is this a manifestation of a known issue? Any ideas about how to debug it?
