Native PHP Binaries

Use the manual Build PHP CLI Binaries GitHub Actions workflow to build Studio PHP CLI artifacts. The workflow checks out crazywhalecc/static-php-cli, pins the requested SPC ref, passes Studio's extension list directly to spc download and spc build, then uploads archives with .sha256 sidecars.

The manual workflow currently builds:

  • php-8.4.20-cli-macos-aarch64.tar.gz
  • php-8.4.20-cli-macos-x86_64.tar.gz
  • php-8.4.20-cli-windows-x86_64.zip

Windows ARM64 Studio builds use the Windows x64 PHP binary under Windows 11 emulation. Native Windows ARM64 PHP binaries are not built.

The .sha256 sidecars are used to verify downloaded artifacts. When these artifacts are published to the Apps CDN, copy those checksums into tools/common/lib/php-binary-metadata.ts. Before publishing macOS artifacts, sign and notarize the php binary with the existing Studio Developer ID setup.

Regular Studio app builds upload to the Apps CDN through fastlane/Fastfile: upload_file_to_apps_cdn wraps upload_build_to_apps_cdn from fastlane-plugin-wpmreleasetoolkit. That path requires WPCOM_API_TOKEN, the Studio Apps CDN site ID, build metadata, and a file path. CDN upload for PHP binary artifacts should be added separately after the manual GitHub Actions builds are proven.
