@suyashbansal That's unfortunate. Do you by any chance have the latest Swift runtime installed on your Mac? I believe it ships with Xcode. You can verify that by running

ls /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift-5.5/macosx

If you see libswift_Concurrency.dylib, please try running

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift-5.5/macosx

before starting the ipatool binary above and let me know the outcome.

@majd still getting the same error

@palaniraja

Is there a way to bundle this part of app binary? i thought builds from xcode13.2 should have included this concurrency changes similar to swift runtime, packaged along with binary(to support old versions). Though i had xcode13 installed and running BigSur 11.4 I had the same error.

Initially, I had also assumed that Xcode 13.2 would statically link the Concurrency library with the compiled binary - it sadly does only seem to weakly link it. Perhaps this is currently not supported with Swift packages.

Also if possible support installing old version via homebrew, i wanted to go back to old version which did not have this concurrency change but brew install [email protected] didn't work. Wondering if this requires additional steps from your end.

I believe Homebrew does not support installing older versions of formulas. To grab older releases, you can either retrieve it from the releases history in this repository or grab the older formula from the commits history on majd/homebrew-repo and pass it to Homebrew.

Try install this: https://download.swift.org/development/xcode/swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2021-12-06-a/swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2021-12-06-a-osx.pkg
Then set export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Library/Developer/Toolchains/swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2021-12-06-a.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/macosx

from ipatool.

What version of macOS are you running? Did you compile ipatool yourself or did you install the Homebrew distribution?

from ipatool.

I got the same error as @gms8994 on a new brew install running Big Sur 11.6.4

from ipatool.

same error on Big Sur 11.4 / intel i7

from ipatool.

On a 2018 Intel Core i7 running Monterey, the install runs successfully.

from ipatool.

Can you try this binary and see if it fixes the issue?

@suyashbansal I believe you are using the wrong binary given the output says that the library is referenced from /opt/homebrew/bin/ipatool. Maybe you meant to execute the new binary with ./ipatool instead of ipatool?

You are right! I did run the new binary and still getting the similar error:

Update - getting the same error on MacBook Pro 16 (2019, Core i9)

from ipatool.

@suyashbansal Could you try this one? It's built using Xcode 13.3 and the latest Swift toolchain, which I think resolves this issue.

Thanks @majd
The method is useful to me. 👍

@majd I don't have the full Xcode installed but I added the latest stable Swift runtime as mentioned by @lnguyen234 above.

It works now!!

from ipatool.

Thanks for confirming. It seems like you need to install the Swift 5.5 toolchain or Xcode 13 (which contains the Swift 5.5 toolchain). Since macOS Catalina does not support Xcode 13, you need to install the official Swift toolchain package (thanks @lnguyen234). I've added this information to the wiki.
