Logs

Logs

``` console ( ● ) Packaging Python app ⏳... ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch==2.4.1 (from versions: 2.2.0, 2.2.1, 2.2.2) ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch==2.4.1 ```

Additional details

The above works when using Flet==0.24.1.

Note, in the above, the code is light as Torch is not being used for anything - this is just illustrating the issue with the Build() process.

Trying to build macOS app with torch==2.4.1 and detailed log gives this error:

(   ●  ) Packaging Python app ⏳... Configured Darwin/x86_64 platform with sitecustomize.py

Packaging macOS has been improved in Flet 0.25 and now, by default, it's trying to create a universal app, i.e. include both arm64 and x86_64 dependencies. Here we see that it cannot find x86_64 wheels for torch 2.4.1 and we can confirm that on this page - only macOS arm64 wheels are available: https://pypi.org/project/torch/2.4.1/#files

There is a new --arch option for flet build command that tells it to build only a specific architecture. Currently works only with macOS builds.

Run flet build macos --arch arm64 ... and it will package just fine. Resulting bundle will be able to run on "M" CPUs only.

Let's keep this issue open as a reminder to update docs.
