PAServer 22 is not working in Mac Monterey, it use dylib that link with framework Python 2.7 and not exist in /System/library/Frameworks of Monterey

Question

I’m download the lastest version of Delphi 11.1 and all is Ok, but when I try to debug project in MAC Monterey 12.3.1 using PAServer 22, I have an error in PAServer Terminal window, it said that Framework Python can’t be found in System/library/Frameworks/.., I install Python 2.7 but it’s not installed in System/... is installed in Library/... and PaServer can’t find it. Have you any Solutions for that problem?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Finally I have the solution, use:

sudo install_name_tool -change '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python' /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python liblldb.3.8.0.dylib

I change the dylib that crash, with new path for Python.

At this time, this is a known issue. See https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-37609 for more details. Sadly there is no official fix yet. But in that RSP you will find a workaround by Michael Geddes that might help you:

For those that want to get going no matter what, I suspect this will work (haven't tried it yet, and it will probably not survive an update):

Install Python 2.7 package from python.org
Disable SIP
    Reboot Mac hold down Command + R
    From a shell:
        > csrutil disable
        > reboot
Remount / as read-write
    > sudo mount -uw /
Check that /System/Library/Frameworks doesn't exist and then Copy (?link) in the Python framework.
    > cp -R /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework /System/Library/Frameworks
Enable SIP
    Reboot Mac, hold down Command + R
    From a shell:
        > csrutil enable
        > reboot

I was having the same issue, followed the link posted by Sherlock70 to the link posted (https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-37609)

I saw part way down in the comments that Marco Cantu posted saying the patch was available and had this link on his post https://blogs.embarcadero.com/rad-studio-11-1-alexandria-patch-1-available/

Once I ran the RadStudio 11.1 patch, I copied the new PAServer 22.0 over to my Mac and followed the "Additional Steps for Python Configuration on macOS" that Marco has in his post above.

Once I did that, everything is able to run on my iPad running iOS 15.4.1 now

I've followed the steps in the linked Embo blog. Using Montery. It still returns the error about not being able to find the System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python path etc. Stupid thing was working yesterday.

Have just reinstalled Delphi 11.1 and the two patches on GetIt (so version is now Embarcadero® Delphi 11 Version 28.0.44500.8973)

Installed Python 2.7 on the Mac and ran the 3 commands in the terminal.

This is beyond frustrating ....
