<div dir="ltr">Hi Lorenzo,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the feedback.</div><div>The build pipeline for mac builds has recently been updated to include newer dependencies and have a general overhaul.</div><div>Most things are in place, but there are a few things still outstanding. In the latest version 3.44.6, a few additional python packages have already been added.</div><div>Also the qgis_process binary is now fixed and functional.</div><div>qgis_server was consciously not added, as we assumed that the dmg is mostly meant for desktop use and for server deployment most people would resort to a package manager like MacPorts which is also listed on the download page. If there is a good reason to add it also to the dmg, this can be considered, otherwise we should explicitly point to MacPorts for QGIS server.</div><div><br></div><div>What we are still missing are mostly data science packages with binary dependencies which are a bit more complex to build. They will appear again as soon as possible.</div><div>PyQt5.QtWebKit is particularly unfortunate because it's not something that could be pip installed but is also not trivial to build and deprecated.</div><div><br></div><div>Please visit <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3AmacOS" target="_blank">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3AmacOS</a>, there are a few issues already open. Please open new issues for the pieces that are still missing.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards</div><div>Matthias</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 9, 2025 at 1:53 AM Lorenzo Moretti via QGIS-Developer <<a href="mailto:qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div>I downloaded the latest version of QGIS for MacOS and I have to thank you because it is finally a version with updated internal libraries and multi-architecture for Intel and Apple Silicon. Above all, with ARM processors, you can really notice the difference in speed both when opening and running the program. The leap in performance is truly remarkable.</div><div><br></div><div>In general, you have included many Python libraries within this application that are necessary to run most of the plugins, but some are missing. They can of course be installed with the command:</div><div><font face="Menlo" size="2">% /Applications/QGIS-final-3_44_5.app/Contents/MacOS/python -m pip install pythonlib</font></div><div>However, with each new version of QGIS, you have to do it all over again. Among those to be installed to make various plugins work are scipy, plotly, pandas, matplotlib, scikit-learn, astropy, netCDF4, and others.</div><div><br></div><div>The other missing libraries needed to run some plugins, including DataPlotly, are Python libraries for the Qt environment: PyQt5.QtWebKit and PyQt5.QtWebKitWidgets. They seem to be deprecated, but unfortunately they are necessary. I was unable to install them.</div><div><br></div><div>Non-functioning executables: the “qgis_process” program. You have inserted it into QGIS, but once executed from the terminal, everything freezes and several library connection errors appear.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Packages not present: “qgis_server”. In the old version, Intel only, the server part was there and worked. Here it is not present.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, thanks again for this fantastic version ahead of the future version 4.</div><div>Lorenzo</div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
