App no longer run on Monterey 12.0.1

Some of my apps no longer run in Monterey 12.0.1; they abort with dylib error such as:

Library not loaded: @rpath/SwiftSocket.framework/Versions/A/SwiftSocket . . . (no such file)

the library is located in ~/Library/Frameworks and this worked in earlier versions of mac os x but now fails.

If I copy the framework to /Library/Frameworks then the apps execute as expected.

How can I set the runtime search path properly when building the project in Xcode 13.1?

  • I am having the same problem here. I see this question has been asked 2 months ago and no apple developers have bothered to ask.

    My work-around has been to set a RPATH in the executable so it can find the library in the local directory, but that is wrong because all the documentation says that ~/Library/Frameworks is searched first and we rely on that.

    I want to know if this is an oversight, a mistake, or this directory is not going to be searched anymore in this and future versions of the OS. Is this search deprecated? It would be good to see it documented somewhere. I don't think we had a warning of this.
