This guide explains how to install Webman, configure the project, build a self‑contained binary for x86_64 Linux using PHP's phar mechanism, run and monitor the binary, and outlines important compatibility notes and alternative manual packaging methods.
To address the growing build times of the Fire Shopkeeper iOS client caused by nearly 100 components, the team implemented component binaryization using custom CocoaPods plugins, static‑framework packaging, binary storage, and CI integration, dramatically cutting compile duration from forty minutes to around twelve minutes.
The team accelerated the QMusic live‑streaming SDK by converting large source modules and external pods into pre‑compiled binaries, tuning Xcode build settings, and automating CI caching, slashing full‑build times from roughly 400 seconds to 40 seconds and packaging duration from over 50 minutes to three minutes.
