[Python] install error on Mac OS: 'ios' file not found ... failed building wheel for pandas

I am running into a consistent error with the PyPI install of apache superset 6.0.0. I am following the instructions from https://superset.apache.org/docs/6.0.0/installation/pypi/.

pip install apache-superset

fails with this error:

My environment:

• 
  MacOS 26.1 with XCode
  
  
• 
  Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.1
  
  
• 
  virtual environment created with python3.12
  

Package Version
---------- -------
pip 25.3
setuptools 80.9.0
wheel 0.45.1


CFLAGS and LDFLAGS are set per the documentation

CFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/include
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib


I noticed that /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/include does NOT include a file ios.h but I have no idea if that's the issue and, if it is, how to get that file.

Any idea?
