# Implementation Summary: AppVeyor to GitHub Actions Migration
2+
3+
## Task Completed
4+
Successfully migrated the CI/CD pipeline from AppVeyor to GitHub Actions with support for building Python 3.14 across all four target platforms: Android, Darwin (iOS/macOS), Linux, and Windows.
5+
6+
## Changes Overview
7+
8+
### 1. New GitHub Actions Workflow (`.github/workflows/build-python.yml`)
9+
- **Total Lines**: 269
10+
- **Jobs**: 4 (one per platform)
11+
- **Python Version**: 3.14.0 (upgraded from 3.12.9)
12+
- **Security**: Explicit permissions on all jobs
13+
- **Validation**: Passes yamllint, actionlint, and CodeQL
14+
15+
#### Job Details:

68+
69+
### 4. Security Improvements
70+
71+
**GITHUB_TOKEN Permissions**
72+
- Added explicit `permissions: contents: write` to all jobs
73+
- Required for artifact uploads and release creation
74+
- Follows GitHub Actions security best practices
75+
- Verified with CodeQL security scanner (0 alerts)
76+
77+
## Technical Decisions
78+
79+
### Python Version Selection
80+
- **Chosen**: 3.14.0
81+
- **Rationale**: As requested in the problem statement
82+
- **Note**: May need adjustment to 3.13.x if 3.14.0 not yet available
83+
84+
### Action Versions
85+
- `actions/checkout@v4` - Latest stable
86+
- `actions/setup-python@v5` - Latest stable
87+
- `actions/upload-artifact@v4` - Latest stable
88+
- `softprops/action-gh-release@v2` - Updated from v1 per actionlint
89+
90+
### Workflow Triggers
91+
- Push to `python-3.*` branches
92+
- Push to `main` branch
93+
- Pull requests to above branches
94+
- Manual workflow dispatch
95+
96+
### Platform Runners
97+
- Android: `ubuntu-latest` (consistent with AppVeyor's ubuntu-gce-c)
98+
- Darwin: `macos-latest` (updated from macos-sonoma)
99+
- Linux: `ubuntu-latest`
100+
- Windows: `windows-latest` (consistent with Visual Studio 2022)
101+
102+
## Validation Results
103+
104+
### YAML Linting
105+
```bash
106+
yamllint -d "{extends: default, rules: {line-length: {max: 120}}}" .github/workflows/build-python.yml
107+
✓ PASSED
108+
```
109+
110+
### GitHub Actions Validation
111+
```bash
112+
actionlint .github/workflows/build-python.yml
113+
✓ PASSED (no errors)
114+
```
115+
116+
### Security Scanning
117+
```bash
118+
codeql_checker
119+
✓ PASSED (0 alerts)
120+
```
121+
122+
## Migration Benefits
123+
124+
1. **Native GitHub Integration**: Direct integration with GitHub features
125+
2. **No External Service**: Eliminates dependency on AppVeyor
126+
3. **Better Performance**: Generally faster build times on GitHub Actions
127+
4. **Improved Security**: Explicit permissions, no encrypted tokens needed
128+
5. **Enhanced Flexibility**: More control over workflow configuration
129+
6. **Cost Efficiency**: Included in GitHub free tier for public repositories
130+
131+
## Testing Recommendations
132+
133+
### Manual Testing Steps
134+
1. Push to a `python-3.*` branch to trigger the workflow
135+
2. Monitor all four jobs in GitHub Actions tab
136+
3. Verify artifacts are uploaded correctly
137+
4. Test release deployment with a version tag (e.g., `v3.14`)
138+
5. Download and verify each platform's artifacts
139+
140+
### Potential Issues to Watch
141+
1. **Python 3.14 Availability**: May need to use 3.13.x temporarily
142+
2. **BeeWare Branch**: Verify `3.14` branch exists in Python-Apple-support
143+
3. **Build Times**: Monitor if any jobs exceed GitHub Actions limits
144+
4. **NDK Version**: Ensure r27 is available on ubuntu-latest
145+
146+
## Rollback Procedure
147+
148+
If issues arise:
149+
```bash
150+
# Restore original AppVeyor config
151+
mv .appveyor.yml.archived .appveyor.yml
152+
git add .appveyor.yml
153+
git commit -m "Restore AppVeyor configuration"
154+
git push
155+
156+
# Optionally remove GitHub Actions workflow
157+
git rm .github/workflows/build-python.yml
158+
git commit -m "Remove GitHub Actions workflow"
159+
git push
160+
```
161+
162+
## Future Enhancements
163+
164+
1. **Caching**: Add dependency caching to speed up builds
165+
2. **Matrix Strategy**: Support multiple Python versions simultaneously
166+
3. **Status Badges**: Add workflow status badges to README
167+
4. **Notifications**: Set up Slack/email notifications for failures
168+
5. **Code Signing**: Implement signing for Darwin builds
169+
6. **Test Suite**: Add automated testing before deployment
170+
7. **Parallel Builds**: Optimize Android ABI builds to run in parallel
171+
