Description

Went to install on fedora 39 this morning and ran into this issue:

~/./s/e/auth:main sudo rpm -i ~/Downloads/ente-auth-v2.0.50-x86_64.rpm

I noticed on merge that "fixes" the issue by changing the build script but it still contains some wrong names of packages in fedora, probably less of an issue in debian so I'll try to build, going through the steps:

  1. Install flutter
~/./s/e/auth:main flutter doctor
Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):
[✓] Flutter (Channel stable, 3.19.5, on Fedora Linux 39 (Workstation Edition) 6.8.4-200.fc39.x86_64, locale en_US.UTF-8)
[✓] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK version 34.0.0)
[✓] Chrome - develop for the web
[✓] Linux toolchain - develop for Linux desktop
[✓] Android Studio (version 2023.2)
[✓] Connected device (2 available)
[✓] Network resources

• No issues found!

  1. git submodule update --init --recursive No errors

  2. Set up keystore No errors, not building for android anyway.

  3. Building

~/./s/e/auth:main flutter build linux

/home/tonyo/.local/src/ente/auth/linux/flutter/ephemeral/.plugin_symlinks/desktop_webview_window/linux/webview_window.cc:267:13: error: 'webkit_web_view_run_javascript_finish' is deprecated: Use 'webkit_web_view_evaluate_javascript_finish' instead [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
/home/tonyo/.local/src/ente/auth/linux/flutter/ephemeral/.plugin_symlinks/desktop_webview_window/linux/webview_window.cc:252:3: error: 'webkit_web_view_run_javascript' is deprecated: Use 'webkit_web_view_evaluate_javascript' instead [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
Building Linux application...
Build process failed

Digging around I'm finding that the code base actually supports those new calls, so why exactly is WEBKIT_OLD_USED being set to 1 or, more interestingly, how do I force the build to not set this to 1?

Research direction
Investigate how the WEBKIT OLD USED flag is set in the desktop webview window plugin's build configuration. Check CMakeLists.txt or similar for conditional definitions based on WebKit version. Verify the installed webkit package version on Fedora 39 and compare with the plugin's expected API. Consider updating the plugin to use the new webkit web view evaluate javascript API or adding a build flag to override the deprecation warning.
