With Ladybird now being its own repository, there's little reason
to keep the Ladybird Android port in the SerenityOS repository.
(The Qt port is useful to be able to test changes to LibWeb in lagom
so it'll stay around. Similar for the AppKit port, since getting
Qt on macOS is a bit annoying. But if the AppKit port is too much
pain to keep working, we should toss that too.
Eventually, the lagom browser ports should move out from Ladybird/
to Meta/Lagom/Contrib, but for now it might make sense to leave them
where they are to keep cherry-picks from ladybird easier.)
This implementation uses a really basic WebView to update stats once
a second. In the future it might make more sense to both move the
details into LibWebView, and to create a native widget for each platform
to remove the overhead of having an extra WebView.
It aligns better with the Filesystem Heirarchy Standard[1] to put our
program-specific helper programs that are not intended to be executed by
the user of the application in $prefix/libexec or in whatever the
packager sets as the CMake equivalent. Namely, on Debian systems this
should be /usr/lib/Ladybird or similar.

Now we will only load resources from $build/share/Lagom. On macOS, we
load from the bundle directory Contents/Resources instead. This
simplifies the commands and environment variables needed to execute
Ladybird from the build directory, and makes our install setup less
awkward for distributions and packagers.
Don't put them in bin/ and then copy them to the bundle dir later, as
this means that they only get updated in the bundle directory if the
Ladybird binary itself needs updated. Which is not a fun workflow if you
are working on WPT and want to hack on the WebDriver binary.
We now create a WorkerAgent for the parent context, which is currently
only a Window. Note that Workers can have Workers per the spec.
The WorkerAgent spawns a WebWorker process to hold the actual
script execution of the Worker. This is modeled with the
DedicatedWorkerHost object in the WebWorker process.
A start_dedicated_worker IPC method in the WebWorker IPC creates the
WorkerHost object. Future different worker types may use different IPC
messages to create their WorkerHost instance.
This implementation cannot yet postMessage between the parent and the
child processes.

Similar to the RequestServer, bind this from the WebContentService
implementation and have it work the same way. Deduplicate some code
while we're here.
Add a RequestServerService class that uses the LadybirdServiceBase class
added previously. Bind to it from the WebContentService's service_main()
during startup.
This will let us spawn a new process for an Android Service to handle
all our WebContent needs. The ServiceConnection is manged by each
WebView. The lifecycle of the Service is not quite clear yet, but each
bindService call will get a unique Messenger that can be used to
transfer the WebContent side of the LibIPC socketpair we use in other
ports.
This ports over the `LADYBIRD_USE_LLD` option from the standalone
Ladybird build and generalizes it to work for mold as well: the
`LAGOM_USE_LINKER` variable can be set to the desired name of the
linker. If it's empty, we default to trying LLD and Mold on ELF
platforms (in this order).
This template app from Android Studio should hopefully be more fun to
work on than the Qt wrapped application we were using before. :^)
It currently builds the native code using gradle rules, and has a stub
WebViewImplementationNative class that will wrap a c++ class of the same
name that inhertis from WebView::ViewImplementation. Spawning helper
processes and creating proper views in Kotlin is next on the list.
We were still missing the resources and the libraries inside the actual
bundle directory. Do it at install time to not make a mess of all the
rules. The gn build lists all the libraries in a massive list, which
is quite a pain. We can over-copy a few libraries like this to make the
install script a bit easier to follow.
We weren't installing a lot of generated sources for the top level Lagom
build or for LibWeb, making it impossible to use LibWeb from a
find_package. ...And also Kernel/API/KeyCode.h, which is included by
no less than 8 different files in Userland/Libraries. We also weren't
installing any Ladybird header files.
LibTLS still can't access many parts of the web, so let's hide this
behind a flag (with all the plumbing that entails).
Hopefully this can encourage folks to improve LibTLS's algorithm support
:^).
We don't need the extra gradle files in our sources, the Qt CMake
integration will generate suitable ones for us.
Make sure that assets is always a folder, so that we can get the proper
layout for the ladybird-assets.tar.gz and CMake doesn't create a gzip
file with the name "assets".
Fix up the AndroidPlatform file and make sure it's linked into all the
applications that need it. Also make sure to copy all the application
shared libraries into the ladybird APK so that when we make them into
proper Services, the libs are already there.
Fix the problem that `cmake --build Build/ladybird` started
failing with:
fatal error: 'WebContent/WebDriverConnection.h' file not found
after 11fe34ce0f
Use a list of executables to make sure that we don't miss any of the
applications used by Ladybird and its friends like WebDriver, and make
sure to install include all executables and their runtime dependencies.
Always call platform_init after there's a QApplication, because in the
installed configuration that's how we find the resources.
Try QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() after looking in ./WebContent
for the WebContent process. In an installed configuration, ladybird and
WebContent will both be in $PREFIX/bin.
Add install rules for WebContent and its linked libraries, for if they
ever differ from ladybird's.
This setup should allow the package maintainers who are looking to
distribute ladybird on their distributions to use CMake to install
ladybird using cmake install rules rather than having to write their own
Build an Android APK file that, when configured properly in Qt Creator,
can be used to deploy the browser to an Android device.
The current build requires NDK 24, targets no less than Android API 30,
and Qt Creator 6.4.0.
