Getting there -- the caches are being made and restored. Windows and macOS don't realise this - they go off and install again... iOS gets it right. Bump dependencies is working, too. |

Do we have a guarantee that ${QT} is safe and correct? I'd add an error check if the file exists before.

It's set from the autobuild workflow file and, if not, defaults to 6 at the top of the file. If someone sets the wrong value, this command will safely crash the workflow.

I'd still like a guard to reject invalid values.

@ann0see, the guard is justified.
The workflow currently uses only QT=5 and QT=6. The repository contains only mac-dependencies_qt5.sh and mac-dependencies_qt6.sh. A wrong value fails at source, but the error does not state the supported values.
Add an allowlist before the source command:
QT=${QT:-6}
case "${QT}" in
5|6) ;;
*)
echo "Environment variable QT must be 5 or 6"
exit 1
;;
esacThis makes the supported interface explicit and prevents unexpected dependency-script paths.

No, it makes a claim that's unjustified. If there were a mac-dependencies_qtFOO.sh and you passed QT=FOO, that would be valid. The range of valid values is defined only by the list of files matching the pattern mac-dependencies_qt(.+)\.sh in the .githhub/autobuild directory. It could [[ -r ...path${QT}.sh ]] || { echo "Bad value for QT - look in .githhub/autobuild"; exit 1; }. But that's essentially what "file not found" tells you.

Seems like the humans are having a chat. I'll hop back into my burrow for now. If you need me again, just tag @coderabbitai in a new comment, and I'll come hopping out!

The point being, someone could rename ios-depenedencies.sh to something unexpected and get the same error as changing the QT value to something invalid. Both require intervention and the diff to the existing code would show the cause.

I think we might have an issue about some OS not being cached. Worth checking the issues for that and linking it here. If the issue is iOS related, we can close it. |

The iOS caching issue was already documented. Thus: Fixes: #2462 |

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change centralizes pinned dependency versions for iOS, macOS, and Windows. Build scripts source these values, validate cached Qt tools, and derive deployment paths. Autobuild caching and dependency update workflows now use the centralized configuration. ChangesAutobuild dependency centralization
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change centralizes platform dependency pins and cache keys, improving cache persistence across Apple and Windows builds.

- Line 97: Update the local-version handling in the dependency bump workflow to
collect every value matching matrix.components.local_version_regex, rather than
selecting only the highest version. Require all matched values to equal
upstream_version before taking the no-op path; otherwise retain the update flow
so every matching assignment is updated.

Ah!
Should never be an issue but good catch. |

Just to note, the Android rewrite seems to be mostly working now, based off this branch. All that's left is me buying an account so I can do an internal test release to the store. The workflow makes the attempt but it fails (and I can't be sure it would work if I had the credentials file right without actually having the credentials file right...). |

Short description of changes
I noticed whilst I've been working on
autobuild.shthat every change invalidates all the caches. Becauseautobuild.shitself is included in the cache key calculation. This change replaces that mechanism on macOS and Windows with am externalised list of dependencies. It adds the same mechanism to iOS, which lacked caching.Github cache clean up will remove unused cache entries with no need to have the cache consumer included in the cache key.
(My work in progress on the Android build uses the same approach, which is where this comes from.)
Scope, guidance, testing and review by myself, coding my VSCode Github CoPilot.
CHANGELOG: Build: improve cache persistence
Context: Fixes an issue?
Caching should depend on what is being cached, rather than the cache consumer.
Does this change need documentation? What needs to be documented and how?
No.
Status of this Pull Request
Tested against the current branch in my own repository before raising the PR here.
What is missing until this pull request can be merged?
Need to do some more testing.
