    Description

      There are two build breaks in 3rdparty/chromium with Xcode 11 (that ships with macOS 10.15 SDK). One happens at compile time of QWebEngineCore:

      typedef struct CF_BRIDGED_TYPE(id) __SecPolicy *SecPolicyRef;
      {{ ^}}
      3 errors generated.

      The other one — at link time of QWebEngineCore:

      Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
        "_kCWScanKeyMerge", referenced from:
            device::(anonymous namespace)::CoreWlanApi::GetAccessPointData(std::_1::set<device::AccessPointData, device::AccessPointDataLess, std::_1::allocator<device::AccessPointData> >*) in wifi_data_provider_mac.o

      The first problem is already fixed upstream by this change: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/acd3f7caf5fc1fc15d49be1392ab3fae11545300. A bunch of files in this change are new as it's for Chromium 77.* while QtWebEngine 5.13.1 is still based on Chromium 73.* AFAICT. But the needed patches apply cleanly and it builds fine then.

      As for the second problem, I couldn't find any solution upstream. I also failed to find any info on how to properly refer to _kCWScanKeyMerge in the 10.15 SDK. I got an impression that it's deprecated since long and has just been eventually removed from the latest SDK. But the symbol is still present in the actual CoreWLAN library so it was a matter of a simple hack to make it available to Qt. The hack implies patching this file:

      /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreWLAN.framework/Versions/Current/CoreWLAN.tbd

      (patch attached).

      Once the two above patches are done, I can successfully build QtWebEngine (as well as QtBase, QtDeclarative, QtMacExtras, QtSVG, QtWebChannel and QtWebSockets). Quick testing shows that it works as good as the version built by the 10.14 SDK.
