Add MacOS support

[andrei-zgirvaci]

Disclaimer: I am not a .NET developer, so please excuse my lack of knowledge in this domain. There are probably more things to be added to this PR, so any guidance on the remaining changes will be very much appreciated!

Prerequisites:

1. .NET 9 SDK: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-9.0.308-macos-arm64-installer / Homebrew
2. Powershell: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/install-powershell-on-macos?view=powershell-7.4#install-the-latest-stable-release-of-powershell / Homebrew

Build

In order to build the SPTarkov.Server MacOS native build locally, you can run the following command from the root directory (make sure to have my changes from this PR included):

dotnet publish SPTarkov.Server/SPTarkov.Server.csproj \
	-c Release \
	-f net9.0 \
	-r osx-arm64 \
	-p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true \
	-p:PublishSingleFile=false \
	--self-contained false \
	-p:SptBuildType=RELEASE \
	-p:SptVersion="4.0.8" \
	-p:SptBuildTime="$(date +%Y%m%d)" \
	-p:SptCommit="$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" \
	-p:IsPublish=true

The above command was adapted from the build-sharp.yaml GitHub action.

Start server

You should now hopefully have the following directory generated: SPTarkov.Server/bin/Release/net9.0/osx-arm64/publish, if you do, you should be good to go!

cd ./SPTarkov.Server/bin/Release/net9.0/osx-arm64/publish

./SPT.Server.Mac

Happy playing!

Validation

✅ MacOS Server executable and it's dependencies are successfully compiled

✅ Server starts and runs natively on MacOS Tahoe 26.2.0 (check commit hash: "7830d62c")

✅ Game connects successfully to the server (check commit hash: "7830d62c")

✅ Full gameplay verified - raids, hideout, settings, etc.

Considerations

• I would love to be able to run the server from a different laptop as I have a spare Mac and could offload some of the resources used for keeping the server alive. However, the game isn't able to connect to my other Mac's IP when specified in Launcher's Dev URL option. I am probably doing something, so some guidance will be much appreciated!

• If you need me to open a PR also in https://github.com/sp-tarkov/build repo to configure the MacOS CI/CD builds, please let me know. I will be happy to contribute!

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
General	Make launch profile path generic To improve consistency and support for other architectures, update the workingDirectory for the "Spt Server (Mac)" profile to be generic by removing the hardcoded osx-arm64 path. SPTarkov.Server/Properties/launchSettings.json [13-17] "Spt Server (Mac)": { "commandName": "Project", "hotReloadEnabled": false, - "workingDirectory": "bin/$(Configuration)/$(TargetFramework)/osx-arm64" + "workingDirectory": "bin/$(Configuration)/$(TargetFramework)" } Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6 __ Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the new "Spt Server (Mac)" profile hardcodes the osx-arm64 architecture in the workingDirectory, which is inconsistent with the existing "Spt Server (Linux)" profile and hinders support for other Mac architectures.
