- Moved `nix/desktop/cmake/qtkeychain` to `nix/pkgs/qtkeychain-src`
- Moved `nix/desktop/linux/linuxdeployqt` to `nix/pkgs`
- Moved `nix/desktop/linux/appimagekit` to `nix/pkgs`
- Dropped `nix/tools/mkShell.nix` since it did almost nothing
- Dropped `nix/desktop/cmake/snorenotify` since it's broken
- Moved setup from `nix/tools/mkShell.nix` to `nix/shells.nix`
- Simplified `nix/mobile/ios/status-go-shell.nix`

# Known Issues
## MacOS 10.15 "Catalina"
There is an unsolved issue with the root(`/`) file system in `10.15` being read-only:
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2925
Our current recommended workaround is putting `/nix` under `/opt/nix` and symlinking it via `/etc/synthetic.conf`:
```bash
sudo mkdir /opt/nix
sudo chown ${USER} /opt/nix
sudo sh -c "echo 'nix\t/opt/nix' >> /etc/synthetic.conf"
reboot
```
After the system reboots you should see the `/nix` symlink in place:
```bash
% ls -l /nix
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8 Oct 11 13:53 /nix -> /opt/nix
```
In order to be able to use Nix with a symlinked `/nix` you need to include this in your shell:
```bash
export NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE=1
```
Add it to your `.bashrc` or any other shell config file.
__NOTE__: Your old `/nix` directory will end up in `/Users/Shared/Relocated Items/Security/nix` after OS upgrade.
## Cache Downloads Timing Out
If copying from Nix Cache times out you can adjust the timeout by changing [`nix/nix.conf`](/nix/nix.conf):
```conf
stalled-download-timeout = 9001
```
## `extra-sandbox-paths` Is a Restricted Setting
When building Android on NixOS you might encounter the following error:
```
ignoring the user-specified setting 'extra-sandbox-paths', because it is a restricted setting and you are not a trusted user
```
You can mitigate this by setting the [`nix.trustedUsers`](https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html#nix.trustedusers) property.
