Siddarth Kumar c4e0dbeae7 ci: serialise linux and macos jobs and build from system nim
- in linux jobs we serialise `tests-ui`, `tests-nim` and  appImage
`package` into a single workflow.
- in macos job we serialise `iOS`, `MacOS` builds into a single
workflow.
- we use system `nim` for all jobs and dont have to build nim from
nimbus build system each time.
  - installed `nim 2.2.10` on `windows` and `macos` hosts.
  - upgraded nim in Docker images and bumped the harbour tags for
`linux` and `android`.

This will help us avoid checkout and `deps` stage for these jobs and we
can free up slots for other jobs.
This way we can do more work in parallel.

Because of this we save:
- `12` minutes of build time in `linux` job.
- `10` minutes of build time in `macos` job.
- `21` minutes of `nim` compile time in `windows` job.

Description

These Jenkinsfiles are used to run CI jobs in Jenkins. You can find them here: https://ci.status.im/job/nim-status-client/

Builds

Linux

In order to build the Linux version of the application we use the ubuntu:20.04 Docker image where we install the Qt 5.15.2 provided by aqt, linuxdeployqt provided by https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt and other dependencies (go, cmake, gcc etc.). We're using Ubuntu 20.04 to ensure glibc compatibility with the oldest still-supported LTS release and to comply with linuxdeployqt requirements.

The image is built with Dockerfile using:

docker build -t statusteam/nim-status-client-build:latest .

And pushed to: https://hub.docker.com/r/statusteam/nim-status-client-build

MacOS

The MacOS builds are run on MacOS hosts and expect Command Line Toold and XCode to be installed, as well as QT being available under /usr/local/qt.

It also expects the presence of the following credentials:

  • macos-keychain-identity - ID of used signing certificate.
  • macos-keychain-pass - Password to unlock the keychain.
  • macos-keychain-file - Keychain file with the MacOS signing certificate.

You can read about how to create such a keychain here.

iOS

iOS builds use fastlane with match for code signing management.

For detailed documentation on iOS signing, fastlane configuration, and certificate management, see mobile/fastlane/README.md.
