M1 Macs & XCode 14.x

[K-Dandy]

Sorry for what is likely a mildly dreaded question (at-least), I went looking around and the most recent details I could find here are from the end of 2021. I wasn't sure if I should raise a dead thread, or start a new one.

I would love to get involved in development here, but I'm running an M1 mac on Ventura.

I'm unable to revert back down to Xcode 13.4, as is described in several places, as Ventura on M1 does not allow downgrading this far.

I've installed node, swiftlint and carthage via homebrew, but during the bootstraping process I get the following error:

[redacted for brevity]

error: 'contentblockergenerator': Invalid manifest
/Users/kevin/Development/firefox-ios/content-blocker-lib-ios/ContentBlockerGenerator/Package.swift:4:8: error: no such module 'PackageDescription'
import PackageDescription
       ^

My hope is that this is an initialization or $PATH issue on my end preventing swift from working, but I didn't see anything int he documentation as a requirement here.

This error throws me for a loop, as the documentation for PackageDescription doesnt seem to note or care about the version difference. I know I'm running swiftlang-5.7.2.135.5 clang-1400.0.29.51 and that file was built with 5.7 per the comment on the top of the file.

It looks like this sub-package is primarily meant to provide a proxy to map the Lists directory to shavar-prod-lists, as part of a google plugin for detecting unsafe domains, but please correct me if im wrong here.

So I went and open Package.swift to see what the compilation issue is, but when it opens the project in Xcode, everything seems fine... so I clicked run in Xcode for the ContentBlockerGenerator project.

After that, the main project builds and runs in the emulator!

This is all a bit rambling at this point, but I didn't find anything showing that M1 was working at all, and wanted to walk through what got me up and running.

However, if I try to load any page, I get the following immediately in my console, and I would like to know if this is normal, or an artifact from M1/Xcode14 that I should keep digging to resolve.

I cant navigate to any URL, and bookmarks just result in a pure black page. I can still interact with the UI surrounding what should be the web render, but nothing as far as actually rendering a page.

Additionally, if this is all known, and I simply didn't find it, please show me where these types of discussion are. I spent a few hours to get to here, and would love to cut down cycles for next time.

Hey @K-Dandy, we have multiples devs on our team running on M1 macs successfully. Some of us (like me) are still on Intel, so we got a good mix of both. We are currently running the project on Xcode version 14.1. I see you mentionned Carthage, but we're not using it anymore since around a year. We're using SPM (swift package manager). Are you running the latest main branch?

[K-Dandy]

I must have got Carthage mixed in from other answers while digging.

the dev environment setup docs have a note about m1. But i acknowledge that the main page specifically calls out that it’s working. I missed that part it seems.

i am on a brand new fork and on main, but i have not gotten through all the docs for setup yet. As you have multiple people on m1 already fully functional, i’ll keep digging. Likely a PEBKAC issue.

[lmarceau]

Oh yeah that page wasn't updated in a while it seems. Our main readme is the one you can trust. All sub-pages I would take with a grain of salt. I'll try to update it so there's no misleading information in it. Let me know if I can help further!

[K-Dandy]

Please note that carthage is required for install in the firefox-ios docs here

[K-Dandy]

Looks like my root issue was none of the above though.

If you use anything that requires command line tools prior to installing Xcode, it will install a standalone version under Libraries/Developer/CommandLineTools. In my case it was from Java, git, maven… this type stuff. Regardless of the XCode version you install, xcode-select will always use these over /Applications/Xcode.app

After downgrading to Xcode 14.1, the bootstrap processes runs without issue, and the emulator starts up without error.

So it looks like the moral of the story is to verify CommandLineTools version, which can be verified with xcode-select -p. If its not point to your xcode install, it can be changed with sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

sorry for the noise, and thanks for the response @lmarceau

[lmarceau]

Yeah seems that page is only replicating the information from our main readme. I modified it a bit so it doesn't fall as much out of date next time hopefully. Thanks!
