There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good; small suggestion for changenote but works for me.
Two notes:
- I have a list of scenarios I want to include in some future build-bot system; I'll add packaging the top XXX number of PyPI packages with Briefcase to the list. Should probably just open a proper issue.
- Also, it may be good to annotate these warnings with some kind of explanation...just given that I expect most users may not fully understand everything that is happening and what these messages are trying to communicate.

Agreed this would be good to thing to verify - if not "top XXX", then at least "packages we know are common and/or problematic".
Yeah - agreed these messages aren't especially clear. Some of them we could possibly even put into an ignore list - .h files, for example, won't be used in a bundled app; and .a files are just taking up space, and can almost certainly be deleted without impact. At the very least, we can improve the message that is output, possibly with a link to a FAQ in the macOS guide about what is going on. |

@rmartin16 FYI I've opened #1973 and #1974 to track these two ideas. |

Fixes #1970.
setuptools has always included vendored downstream libraries; however, as of 73.0, they started including a vendored copy of the
.dist-infofolder as well. This breaks Briefcase's binary package search mechanism.This PR modifies binary package search to do a shallow search, rather than a deep search.
