April 2024 Status Update! https://beeware.org/news/buzz/april-2024-status-update/

It’s official: iOS is a Tier 3 supported platform in CPython. https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#tier-3

beeware,
@beeware@fosstodon.org avatar

@nealmcb Until now, iOS hasn't been officially supported at all. BeeWare, Kivy, and other projects that offer iOS support did so with heavily patched source trees.

As of 3.13, you will require no additional patches to compile CPython for iOS; and the CPython team is officially recognising iOS as a supported platform (see PEP 11). In practice, Tier 3 doesn't mean much more than "We check it in CI, and there’s someone on the core team who can look after it”, but that’s an important step.

On this day 10 years ago (April 21, 2014), @freakboy3742 made the first commit to what would eventually become Toga (it was called Tailor at the time).

The pybee.org domain was registered a year earlier, and "BeeWare” was announced at the DjangoCon US 2013 lightning talks in September; but the start of Toga is really the point at which BeeWare started to become the project it is today.

Here's to 10 (ish) years of progress - and thanks to everyone who helped us get this far.

It's done! The CPython main branch will now compile for iOS without any additional patching! Docs have been updated, and the developer guide has iOS instructions.

The only step left is to deploy a buildbot; once that is done, PEP 730 is done, and we can update PEP 11 to include iOS as a Tier 3 supported platform!

A huge thanks to the whole CPython core team, and especially Ned Deily, for their assistance in this project.

A big day: all the PRs that are needed for CPython 3.13 to support iOS have now been submitted. The last 2 still need to be reviewed; and there's still a need to add a buildbot - but we're getting very close. Even it's current state, the CPython test suite will run, unpatched, with only 4 failures. https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/114099

@dogweather Offically, CPython will give you the tools to compile CPython, and not much more. It will be up to you to compile CPython, construct an XCframework, and add it to an Xcode project you've built. That process is documented, but there not much by way of tooling assistance.

However - projects like BeeWare can then use that support to provide helper tooling. If you want to try it out right now, you can: See our tutorial at https://docs.beeware.org

Do you use Windows? Do you know anything about using WiX to build MSI installers (or would you like to learn)? Want to contributing to an Open Source? BeeWare needs your help! We've got some existing WiX 3 tooling that needs to be updated to WiX 4. https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1185

Is the keyboard you use on a daily basis not a US keyboard? Looking for a way to contribute to BeeWare? We might be able to use your help. We're trying to work out how to best handle non-US keyboard mappings for key shortcuts: https://github.com/beeware/toga/issues/2428

@kechpaja Thanks, but that likely won’t help much - firstly because we’re a cross-platform toolkit, so we need to solve this for Windows, Linux and macOS; and secondly because we need this to be GTK specific on Linux (and, of all the platforms, GTK is the least problematic)

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Wonder no more - write a Toga app to find out. MapView widget coming soon to Toga!

@progressivecat No “Python app” in the App Stores. it means that the CPython sources can be compiled for iOS/Android without patching, and used in embedded mode. There are already apps in the App Store that do this; but they use patched CPython sources.
