iOS build is failing due to mobile_scanner

[M123-dev]

What

• Swift Compiler Error (Xcode): Generic parameter 'ElementOfResult' could not be inferred juliansteenbakker/mobile_scanner#489

Looks like we have to upgrade xcode

What about #3779?

[M123-dev]

Still the same https://github.com/openfoodfacts/smooth-app/actions/runs/4454379062/jobs/7823524773#step:17:3296

I've just created juliansteenbakker/mobile_scanner#544

@M123-dev Just curious: where the hell is the mac computer/server that is used in the CI/CD? Shouldn't it be upgraded to the latest macOS version?

[monsieurtanuki]

@M123-dev Is the issue still relevant after you upgrade xcode? I mean, that will still be impossible on my old macbook anyway, but is that OK with upgradable devices?

[M123-dev]

I actually don't know. I've never owned an Apple device, the servers where the builds are running on are hosted by GitHub (or now Microsoft IDK) for free as the repository is public.

They provide some runners, we are using macos-latest which is: macOS Monterey 12

So no way to update this as long as we plan to self-host something like this if there is a different way to update Xcode I don't know

It looks like we can run up to Xcode 14.2 on macOS Monterey 12.5 (cf. https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/).
Related: I've created juliansteenbakker/mobile_scanner#568, which is supposed to solve the issue.

Thanks for the PR on the mobile_scanner project. I didn't have much time this week to work on this so my apologies for the delay.

[juliansteenbakker]

I have merged the code. Is it possible to check if it's working now with the code on the master branch?

  mobile_scanner:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/juliansteenbakker/mobile_scanner.git
      ref: master

Thank you @juliansteenbakker: I've just created #3822.
