<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear all,</div><div><br></div><div>Over the last few months I've made good progress on the mac build front.</div><div>Since the beginning of the year, a pull request has been open that builds QGIS against recent, updated dependencies and Qt6 and creates a dmg installer for download.</div><div>These packages provide universal binaries that work natively on Intel x64 and ARM machines.</div><div><br></div><div>Overall, the feedback of testers has been encouraging and many things could already be ironed out.</div><div><br></div><div>Since last week it is now also possible to download notarized versions of these builds. The scripts are in <a href="https://github.com/opengisch/qgis-notarize/">https://github.com/opengisch/qgis-notarize/</a> and in the actions on this repository, the notarized packages can be downloaded and we also have encouraging feedback there.</div><div>Eventually I would like to only notarize releases (and not pull requests) and use an OSGEO certificate (not the current OPENGIS.ch one) and produce the packages on a repository under the qgis organization. I'll handle that in the upcoming weeks.</div><div><br></div><div>Since this is a complete refactoring and cleanup of the mac build chain, it would break the current Qt5 builds and was therefore not merged to not break releases on the QGIS 3 series.</div><div><br></div><div>With the last minor release QGIS 3 approaching, I would like to proceed with merging this right after 3.44 has been branched off. The pull request is rather large so it's good if this has a long cooldown period before it's released with QGIS 4 later this year. Whoever feels comfortable reviewing cmake code changes, please do so before Friday next week, June 20.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot and best wishes</div><div>Matthias</div><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><table dir="ltr" style="margin-top:15px;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;width:736px" width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="width:734px"><table style="width:557px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-right:16px;width:242px" valign="top"><a style="float:left;margin:0" href="https://link.bulksignature.com/4054a10b-3c19-46a2-9e27-813335d7dbdc" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://d2603p5nbqhrhm.cloudfront.net/4054a10b-3c19-46a2-9e27-813335d7dbdc.jpg" alt="OG" width="232" height="250"></a></td><td style="height:0px;line-height:0px;border-left:1px solid rgba(74,74,74,0.5);padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;width:0px"> </td><td style="width:635px" valign="top"><table style="width:635px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="color:#4a4a4a;font-weight:bold;line-height:1;padding:0px 0px 0px 2px;text-align:left;font-size:19px;width:631px"><div style="font-weight:400;line-height:18px;height:33px;padding:0px 0px 8px 2px;text-align:left;font-size:16px">
