python.h missing when using buildozer

[ElBurroViejo]

Hi,

i try to test a small app I wrote and deploy it on my phone using buildozer (computer = mac and phone = ios)

I try this by using

buildozer ios debug deploy run

As expected I needed to install a bunch of packages but now I reached a point at which I am stuck with the following error and I don not know anymore how to proceed. I really would appreciate some input :). I have the hypothesis that the missing python.h is causing issues. However, I could not figure out how to fix that.

Hi,

Did you find a solution to this problem? 

[ZenCODE]

This is usually caused by a missing python-dev installation. Easily fixed on linux distros, but buildozer is not yet supported on mac....I would suggest using kivy-ios for Mac deployments.
