Apple TV - creating and loading dynamic library (dylib)

I would like to load a c/c++ shared object in my Apple TV project. I create a simple library using the following tutorial:

Link

Due to the fact i want to compile and load it into my Apple TV project i did some changes:

The dlopen code is in my ViewController.m on which user press a button and then dlopen is called.

// Open the library.
NSString * libraryname = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"libRatings.A"];
NSString * libraryfullpath = [mainBundle pathForResource:libraryname ofType:@"dylib"];

void *lib_handle = dlopen([libraryfullpath UTF8String], RTLD_NOW);
if (lib_handle)
{
 printf("[%s] dlopen(\"%s\", RTLD_NOW): Successful\n", __FILE__,      "library");
}
else
{
    printf("\n\n[%s] Unable to open library: %s\n",
       __FILE__, dlerror());
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

changed the compilation command to:

clang -dynamiclib -std=gnu99 -current_version 1.0 -compatibility_version 1.0 -fvisibility=hidden -arch arm64 -mtvos-version-min=9.2 -g -Wno-sign-conversion -fembed-bitcode-marker -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/AppleTVOS9.2.sdk Ratings.c -o libRatings.A.dylib

I copied my dylib into my project and verified that it is copied as a bundle resource.

When running my app, after dlopen call failed i'm getting the following error:

[/Users/gfsrnd/Documents/sample1/sample1/sample1/ViewController.m] Unable to open library: dlopen(/var/containers/Bundle/Application/CFF7EC2A-7DF5-4270-9E99-2D5FAEBB0275/sample1 copy.app/libRatings.A.dylib, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:

Result of otool is:

Result of nm is:

    **>nm -ag libRatings.A.dylib**

                     U _strlen
                     U dyld_stub_binder

Can anyone please advise what am i doing wrong?

Thanks

Solution

Indeed, seems that there is no way to do dynamic loading...

I just used static linking..
