uniffi-bindgen required to be installed for maturin to work

[heinrich5991]

uniffi-bindgen needs to be installed in some way in order for maturin to work with uniffi bindings.

It'd be nice if the correct version of uniffi-bindgen could be used automatically, e.g. by adding a workspace crate like described in https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs/blob/62979fa0899b74f29db48d715da20ea514e400fe/docs/manual/src/tutorial/foreign_language_bindings.md#multi-crate-workspaces.

Would something like this be interesting for this project?

At the moment I've published pre-built uniffi-bindgen to pypi to improve build speed: https://github.com/messense/crate-wheels/blob/main/.github/workflows/uniffi-bindgen.yml, we can certainly also support the official documented method.

[heinrich5991]

That makes sense. I'm facing the problem that I can't use this, as my project needs the current uniffi-bindgen master.

[messense]

Now that uniffi released 0.24, I think you can use it?

[heinrich5991]

Yes. This problem no longer affects me as much.

[messense]

Will be fixed in #1729.

Nice!
