Steam lib failure to load causes crash on Mac M1
Hello guys, first timer here
My game has been for a year on Steam and running fine everywhere, but lately M1 Macs cannot run it anymore.
If I run the game WITHOUT launching it through Steam, it works. If I use Steam to launch the game, I get a crash and this is the text with the crash.
The lines you will be interested in probably are the following :
Dyld Error Message: could not load inserted library '/Users/juleslievre/Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam.AppBundle/Steam/Contents/MacOS/steamloader.dylib' because no suitable image found.

From my understanding, the game crashes because of the library, how can I do so that the doesn't happen ? I tried building with Unity for Apple Silicon only, to no avail, still crashes.
Is there a special setting I should be choosing or something ?
From the inspector on Unity I have this :
I will appreciate any help !
It looks like what is happening is that when launching your game from Steam, Steam attempts to inject some binaries to handle functionality such as the Steam overlay. Unfortunately, Steam is attempting to inject x86/x86_64 binaries into an arm64e process, hence the error message "no matching architecture in universal wrapper".
As far as I understand, Steam/Steamworks does not support arm64e (Apple Silicon) at all.
So, I fixed it. I mean, what I basically did was to build for intel 64 for MacOS instead of Intel64 + Apple Silicon And that worked Game now launches and plays fine on M1 through and without steam Anyone having the same issue, just build for Intel and not the silicon + intel mix
I'm going to reopen this for now to help people find it better, I think there's something that we can do to improve this too; even just a warning when building for M1.
No problems ! I'd be more than happy if this would help other people as well, took me a month to get it working back !!
So can't we ever run the Unity app on M1 with Steam? thought it works fine on M1 without Steam
Thanks @valentin56610 You saved my time! I just compile a build with Intel + Apple Silicon. Now, gonna have to build again with Intel only
So can't we ever run the Unity app on M1 with Steam? thought it works fine on M1 without Steam
I don't know if this question is for me, but my game runs fine on M1 Macs with Steam. As I said, just export the game for Intel 64 bits. Will work just fine on M1. Don't export for Apple Silicon + Intel, this will result in crashes on M1.

Great and thanks.
Can you please confirm the following, do I need to change them for Mac Steam build?
-
Steam_api.bundle contains an invalid CFBundleIdentifier: com.rileylabrecque.steam_api. Change it to com.rileylabrecque.steamapi in the file steam_api.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
-
libsteam_api.dylib contains 32bit symbols. We only use 64bit symbols, delete it with command lipo -remove x86_64 libsteam_api.dylib -o libsteam_api.dylib.
I don't know about those 2, unfortunately. I didn't get those.
Everything I did was to build for Intel 64 bits instead of the Apple silicon + intel mix. I suggest you just build and try ? Thats what I usually do

Alright. Thanks
@rlabrecque @valentin56610 I'm not really sure what files need to be included/excluded in Mac depot. Please let me know if you can help! Thank you!
// but exclude all symbol files // This can be a full path, or a path relative to ContentRoot
"FileExclusion" "*.pdb"
Hum, not sure this is related to the original issue at all ?
Build the game with unity, then once built unity take you to the place the game was built, select then all files and hit "Compress/ZIP". That's all I do. You upload that .ZIP to steam.

Supposedly Valve finally provides version of steamwork dylibs which include arm64 build as well https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/2984186817523157398 . Has anyone tried it already?

Well, the site where I get the lib for Unity didn't update yet, last update was May 2021. I wonder when they are going to update for the new lib Link of the site in question : https://steamworks.github.io
What do you guys use ?

This is fantastic news - I just saw PR https://github.com/rlabrecque/Steamworks.NET/pull/452 adds v1.52!
After testing, I can confirm this has solved all our issues for Steamworks on Apple Silicon!
The thread says it’s in beta, is it working alright ? I’ll probably wait until it’s fully released in the main repository
It works just fine. Though we don't use a huge amount from the API (just some achievements stuff) so we're not the best example, but v1.52 is what I'm downloading direct from Valve in the Steamworks portal and it's already on main for this repo. Very easy to get it through the UPM if you're using Unity by just changing the commit hash you're pointing to.
Hi, have there been any updates to this? Are there any more blockers to adding arm64 OSX-Linux support?
