ci: DashUIKit ref override, internal-only channel, explicit release version - #1072
Conversation
A wallet branch that needs an unreleased DashUIKit change cannot be built by CI at all. platform is checked out beside the wallet and can be pointed anywhere; DashUIKit is a remote Swift package, so the only way to say "use this branch" was to commit a pin — which then has to be remembered and undone before the merge, and which nobody should be reviewing in a feature diff. `dashuikit_ref` does it for a single run. Left blank, nothing is touched and the committed pin stands, so every existing dispatch behaves exactly as before. Given a branch, tag or SHA, the ref is resolved and written into `Package.resolved` before the archive — which already runs with `-onlyUsePackageVersionsFromResolvedFile` and therefore treats that file as the authority. The project's own branch requirement is rewritten alongside it, since the two have to agree, and quoted, because a branch name carries slashes and pbxproj leaves only bare tokens unquoted. Verified by running the rewrite against the committed `Package.resolved` and `project.pbxproj`: the pin and the requirement both land on the requested ref, no other `branch =` entry is touched, and `plutil -lint` still accepts the project file.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The workflow now supports selecting DashUIKit revisions and changes release defaults, but tag and commit inputs may resolve incorrectly or fail to build, while equivalent TestFlight version spellings can select the wrong train. The chosen dependency revision is also omitted from the release summary, weakening artifact traceability. These bounded release-correctness and provenance issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

A branch cut before `.github/scripts` existed could not be released at all. Every step runs inside the `dashwallet-ios` checkout, so the scripts it invoked were whatever `wallet_ref` happened to carry — and dispatching the workflow from a newer ref did not help, because the ref chooses the workflow file, not the files the steps read. That is backwards for a release pipeline: which tooling runs a release is a property of the pipeline, not of the code being shipped. The scripts are now checked out from `github.ref` into a folder of their own — sparsely, since only `.github/scripts` is wanted — and the four call sites go through the path that checkout produces, with an explicit check so a missing script says so rather than surfacing as `LoadError` from ruby three steps later.

The release_channel input gains internal-only (the new default), which exports with testFlightInternalTestingOnly so App Store Connect marks the upload as TestFlight Internal Only — it can never be distributed externally or released to the App Store. app_version is now a required explicit version instead of 'auto': the build number is still assigned automatically from the train's builds, but the version is never silently substituted — a version at or below the live App Store version fails before archiving, since Apple closes a version train once it ships.

resolve tags to their peeled commit rather than the annotated tag object and
write tag or SHA inputs as revision requirements, including updating both

dashuikit_ref advertises support for a branch, tag, or commit SHA, but the override always writes a branch requirement to both Package.resolved and project.pbxproj. A full SHA falls through ls-remote and becomes a branch named after the SHA; an annotated tag can also use the tag-object SHA instead of the peeled commit. With automatic package resolution disabled, those inputs can fail or select the wrong revision. Please classify the ref: keep branch requirements for branches, and use the peeled commit plus a revision requirement for tags and SHAs in both files.
Review follow-ups: - dashuikit_ref advertised a branch, tag, or SHA but always wrote a branch requirement, so a full SHA became a branch named after the SHA and an annotated tag pinned the tag object. The ref is now classified: a branch keeps a branch requirement, a tag or SHA becomes a revision requirement pinned to the peeled commit, and anything that is none of those fails the step up front. - A requested version now selects the TestFlight train spelled exactly as requested before borrowing the spelling of a numerically equivalent train, so 9.1.0 no longer archives into 9.1 when both trains exist.
Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Three gaps in the TestFlight release workflow:
platformis checked out beside the wallet, soplatform_refcan point it anywhere. DashUIKit is a remote Swift package, so there was no equivalent — the only way to build against a branch of it was to commit a pin into the wallet branch, which then has to be remembered and reverted before the merge, and which ends up in a feature diff where no reviewer expects it.app_version: autofollowed the latest TestFlight/App Store version, and an explicit version below the App Store Connect baseline was silently bumped up. The operator should state the version; only the build number should be automatic.What was done?
DashUIKit ref override
Added an optional
dashuikit_refinput.Left blank — the default — nothing is touched and the committed pin is used, so every existing dispatch behaves exactly as before. Given a ref, a new step classifies it before writing anything: a branch keeps a branch requirement, while a tag or a full commit SHA becomes a revision requirement — an annotated tag resolves to its peeled commit, not the tag object, because a
Package.resolvedrevision must be a commit. A ref that is none of a branch, a tag, or a full 40-hex SHA fails the step up front.That is enough because the archive already runs with
-disableAutomaticPackageResolution -onlyUsePackageVersionsFromResolvedFile, which makesPackage.resolvedthe authority for what gets cloned. The project's own requirement is rewritten alongside it, since the two have to agree; a branch name is quoted — it carries slashes, and pbxproj leaves only bare tokens unquoted.The step is guarded by
if: inputs.dashuikit_ref != '', so it does not run at all on ordinary builds.The release scripts are also now checked out from the workflow's own ref rather than taken from the branch being built, so an older wallet branch can still be released.
Internal-only distribution channel (new default)
release_channelgains a third option,internal-only, and it is the new default. It exports withtestFlightInternalTestingOnly: true, which is what Xcode Organizer's "TestFlight Internal Only" does: App Store Connect marks the uploaded build so it can only reach internal testers — it can never be distributed externally or released to the App Store. The export method staysapp-store-connecteither way;internalandexternalbehave exactly as before, producing a build that can later ship.Explicit release version, automatic build number
app_versionis now a required explicit version —autois gone, and the input has no default, so the GitHub UI forces the operator to type one. The script no longer substitutes a higher version from App Store Connect: a version at or below the live App Store version failsresolve-versionimmediately (Apple closes a version train once it ships, so the upload would be rejected anyway — better to fail before the two-hour archive). One normalization remains: a train spelled exactly as requested always wins; failing that, an existing TestFlight train that is numerically the same version with a different spelling (9.1vs9.1.0) lends its spelling, so the upload continues that train instead of opening a parallel one.The build number is unchanged: highest build in the train + 1, re-verified as still free right before upload.
How Has This Been Tested?
The override step's exact
runblock (extracted from the YAML) was executed locally against the committed files for every ref class:master→ pin{branch: master, revision: 83cf65a…}, requirementbranch = "master"; kind = branch;;1.0.0→ pin{revision: 046f087…}(the peeled commit, not thef61e908…tag object), requirementkind = revision; revision = 046f087…;;{revision: <sha>}, requirementkind = revision; revision = <sha>;;plutil -lintstill acceptsproject.pbxprojafterwards.The release-script unit tests were updated for the new version semantics (below-production fails, equal-to-production fails, below-TestFlight-above-production is allowed, exact train match beats an equivalent spelling, spelling reuse,
internal-onlychannel validation) and pass: 20 runs, 33 assertions, 0 failures. The workflow YAML parses.Not yet exercised end to end on a runner — the first real use will be a build of #1048 against DashUIKit#13, dispatched with this branch as the workflow ref.
Breaking Changes
app_versionno longer acceptsautoand must be filled in on every dispatch.release_channeldefaults tointernal-only, so a build intended for external distribution or an App Store release now has to selectinternalorexternalexplicitly. Thedashuikit_refinput is optional and defaults to empty, which is the current behaviour.Checklist:
