I'm developing a command line tool app that uses AppList library. But when i trying to run in on my device, the error occured:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libapplist.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/bin/testApp
Reason: image not found
Is it possible to attach libapplist.dylib to project package?
All dylibs have an installation path inside mach-o header. That path is placed in your application import section so that linker could find the dylib. When your process is launched dyld
searches that path for the dylib.
You can check that path like this:
otool -D libapplist.dylib
That's what dyld
is telling you - it couldn't find the dylib. You have two options:
If it's your dylib you can change it inside xcode project settings of your dylib - search for installation directory
. When you rebuild dylib and application linking it they will contain the new path.
If you can't recompile the dylib then you need to change it manually. Here is how you can do it:
install_name_tool -id @executable_path/libapplist.dylib libapplist.dylib
@executable_path
tells the linker to search for dylib where application executable is located.
