#4678
## Summary
This enables native Windows ARM64 builds for Briefcase. Depends on #4797
## How to test
- Run `./tools/ninja installer` in a Windows ARM64 machine.
- Check the architecture of the installer under `./out/installer/dist`
by going to Properties > Compatibility and confirming emulation settings
are disabled.
- Install the package and confirm Anki.exe is a native binary.
- Open Anki, go to the [debug
console](https://docs.ankiweb.net/misc.html#debug-console) and run the
following code to check the architecture of the Python build:
```python
import platform
print(platform.machine(), platform.python_compiler())
```
migrates Anki Desktop packaging from the legacy
NSIS/uv-based installer to [BeeWare
Briefcase](https://briefcase.readthedocs.io/). This branch integrates
work from many related issues and PRs to deliver cross-platform native
installers (MSI on Windows, .app on macOS, PyInstaller on Linux) with
code signing, notarization, and file association support.

## Summary
- Bumps `sha2` to 0.11.x (digest stack uses types that no longer
implement `LowerHex` for `format!`).
- Replaces `format!(…, finalize())` with `hex::encode(finalize())` in
`build/runner` and `ninja_gen`.
- Adds the workspace `hex` dependency where those crates need it.
## Test plan
- [ ] `cargo check -p runner -p ninja_gen`
With all the recent supply chain attacks, this seems prudent. There are
three in our current package list. esbuild's is just a performance
optimization (https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4085), and
dprint's gets done when we invoke .bin/dprint anyway. svelte-preprocess
simply prints something to the screen.
rust commit 8296ad0 changes the output of std::any::type_name to include
regions such as lifetime and generic arguments, which results in invalid
Ninja rule names being generated, such as `CargoBuild<_>`.
* set UV_PYTHON_DOWNLOADS=auto when doing `uv sync`
* Clear env vars prior to invoking uv, and add --no-config

- Use --locked to assert that the lockfile won't change, so we need
to explicitly 'uv lock' when making changes. Still trying to get to
the bottom of why the lockfile sometimes has editable entries, which
break things when switching between platforms.
- Exclude __pycache__ from wheels
- Move the typing stubs to our dev deps
(https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/4074#pullrequestreview-2948088436)
- Update nextest (not required)
- Build nextest without self-update, which pulls in ring
- Disable running of tests in rsbridge, as it has no tests, and
requires host arch's python.lib to execute
- A double \ in CARGO_TARGET_DIR was breaking update_* tests
* Migrate build system to uv
Closes#3787, and is a step towards #3081 and #4022
This change breaks our PyOxidizer bundling process. While we probably
could update it to work with the new venvs & lockfile, my intention
is to use this as a base to try out a uv-based packager/installer.
Some notes about the changes:
- Use uv for python download + venv installation
- Drop python/requirements* in favour of pyproject files / uv.lock
- Bumped to latest Python 3.9 version. The move to 3.13 should be
a fairly trivial change when we're ready.
- Dropped the old write_wheel.py in favour of uv/hatchling. This has
the unfortunate side-effect of dropping leading zeros in our wheels,
which we could try hack around in the future.
- Switch to Qt 6.7 for the dev repo, as it's the first PyQt version
with a Linux/ARM WebEngine wheel.
- Unified our macOS deployment target with minimum required for ARM.
- Dropped unused fluent python files
- Dropped unused python license generation
- Dropped helpers to run under Qt 5, as our wheels were already
requiring Qt 6 to install.
* Build action to create universal uv binary
* Drop some PyOxidizer-related files
* Use Windows ARM64 cargo/node binaries during build
We can't provide ARM64 wheels to users yet due to #4079, but we can
at least speed up the build.
The rustls -> native-tls change on Windows is because ring requires
clang to compile for ARM64, and I figured it's best to keep our Windows
deps consistent. We already built the wheels with native-tls.
* Make libankihelper a universal library
We were shipping a single arch library in a purelib, leading to
breakages when running on a different platform.
* Use Python wheel for mpv/lame on Windows/Mac
This is convenient, but suboptimal on a Mac at the moment. The first
run of mpv will take a number of seconds for security checks to run,
and our mpv code ends up timing out, repeating the process each time.
Our installer stub will need to invoke mpv once first to get it validated.
We could address this by distributing the audio with the installer/stub,
or perhaps by putting the binaries in a .pkg file that's notarized+stapled
and then included in the wheel.
* Add some helper scripts to build a fully-locked wheel
* Initial macOS launcher prototype
* Add a hidden env var to preload our libs and audio helpers on macOS
* qt/bundle -> qt/launcher
- remove more of the old bundling code
- handle app icon
* Fat binary, notarization & dmg
* Publish wheels on testpypi for testing
* Use our Python pin for the launcher too
* Python cleanups
* Extend launcher to other platforms + more
- Switch to Qt 6.8 for repo default, as 6.7 depends on an older
libwebp/tiff which is unavailable on newer installs
- Drop tools/mac-x86, as we no longer need to test against Qt 5
- Add flags to cross compile wheels on Mac and Linux
- Bump glibc target to 2_36, building on Debian Stable
- Increase mpv timeout on macOS to allow for initial gatekeeper checks
- Ship both arm64 and amd64 uv on Linux, with a bash stub to pick
the appropriate arch.
* Fix pylint on Linux
* Fix failure to run from /usr/local/bin
* Remove remaining pyoxidizer refs, and clean up duplicate release folder
* Rust dep updates
- Rust 1.87 for now (1.88 due out in around a week)
- Nom looks involved, so I left it for now
- prost-reflect depends on a new prost version that got yanked
* Python 3.13 + dep updates
Updated protoc binaries + add helper in order to try fix build breakage.
Ended up being due to an AI-generated update to pip-system-certs that
was not reviewed carefully enough:
https://gitlab.com/alelec/pip-system-certs/-/issues/36
The updated mypy/black needed some tweaks to our files.
* Windows compilation fixes
* Automatically run Anki after installing on Windows
* Touch pyproject.toml upon install, so we check for updates
* Update Python deps
- urllib3 for CVE
- pip-system-certs got fixed
- markdown/pytest also updated
Make sure to run tools/install-n2 after updating to this commit.
n2 have merged in some changes we were previously hosting in a fork,
but the parsing of the flags was altered.
Prior to this change, ./run fails out of the box on ARM systems, as Qt
wasn't available on PyPI until the 6.8 release.
Also added a script in tools/ for testing Qt6.8 issues on other platforms.
This reverts commit 04228de666.
Anki 25.01 Beta 1 revealed a bunch of regressions with the latest
Qt, and zero reports of improvements from it, so we'll be better off
holding off on it for now, and perhaps reporting the deadkeys issue
to Qt once we've got a proper reproduction process.
Now that an ARM wheel is on PyPI, we no longer need to rely on a
system PyQt to build on ARM. The install is skipped when PYTHONPATH
is set, so older distros with glibc <2.39 can continue to use the
system packages instead.
* Qt 6.8.1
Bumps minimum glibc to 2.35, and minimum macOS to 12
* Drop generation of Qt5 packaged build
Closes#3615
* Include qt6 requirements in aqt wheel; drop extra deps
* Fix aqt wheels growing over time
