Unable to get iTunes to work. Giving error before opening.
I just tried Retroactive for the first time and I can't get iTunes to work. I've gone through the install process, which was fine, then tried opening it after that but it just gives a big error. I'm using a 2 week new m1 macbook air lol.

Namespace CODESIGNING, Code 0x1
It's a sign problem. I tried to manually sign the app but unfortunatly it's not working...
Maybe someone will figure something
Same. M1. Tried to remove the signature as described in the deep-dive link, but also no dice. Sad to see there's no solution for this.
Trying the solution here:

I am getting a new error:
Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)

Termination Reason: DYLD, [0x1] Library missing
Application Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries, ignoring DYLD_* env vars

Dyld Error Message:

Reason: unsafe use of @executable_path in /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes with restricted binary (Codesign main executable with Library Validation to allow @ paths)
Installing Xcode, as the user in that other thread, and unfortunately, I'm getting the same error as I did before installing Xcode. (Re-ran Retroactive as well before running it again, just to be sure.)
Yup, now there is an issue about the dyld library. I'm having the same error. Again, the app won't open because of security issue. Unfortunately it's the deepest I've been. I even try to look at the code of Retroactive on Xcode but sadly I didn't find anything. I will give a better look asap. Since then, you could still use iTunes 12.6...
I have tried 12.6.5 - on the plus side it opens. BUT it gives a number of errors and cannot load the store. If there's anyway to get around the linking error, that would be ace, if the application will otherwise behave normally.
Is anyone knows how to codesign an app ? aha, or how to force to use a dyld library ? Or how to use Xcode and see if there is someting we could change in the Retroactive app ? The app download the .pkg of iTunes on internet, then create an app with iTunes in it (like an inception). So maybe if we look throught the code of Retroactive we may find something.
Codesigning itself isn't the issue so much as what seems to be a general change to the way the OS allows dynamically linked libraries within applications - by their very nature a dynamically linked code library presents an opportunity to a potential security intrusion, and it would seem Apples attempts at producing "security" in the form of locking the OS down involve changes to the ways libraries are integrated. I'm not an OS X developer though, so I haven't read their documentation on the subject, but it seems pretty easy to read between the lines here.
There may be some way to force permission, but it also seems that Apple is actively looking for ways to prevent people from doing things like this, so it also presents more opportunities for this to break again with a future OS update.
I still welcome insight from someone who is better informed on the specifics, if there is a way to wrap things up in a compliant way, that would be rad. In the meantime, I guess I'll just keep using it on Windows? What a weird turn of events.
I managed to fix the issue with iTunes 12.9. iTunes was using @rpath for libgnsdk (Gracenote SDK I guess), but rpath is considered dangerous, so nowadays its use is discouraged. macOS on Apple Silicon seems to take the discouragement a step further by not allowing rpaths to be used at all, even under Rosetta. This can be fixed by using @executable_path, which Apple should have done in the first place, and they now do with Music.app.
I don’t have the exact commands I used on-hand, but it was likely something like:
# Fix the Gracenote SDK load commands
cd /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes.app/Contents
for i in manager dsp musicid submit; do
install_name_tool -change @rpath/libgnsdk_${i}.3.06.1.dylib @executable_path/../Frameworks/libgnsdk_${i}.3.06.1.dylib MacOS/iTunes
done
for i in dsp musicid submit; do
install_name_tool -change @rpath/libgnsdk_manager.3.06.1.dylib @executable_path/../Frameworks/libgnsdk_manager.3.06.1.dylib Frameworks/libgnsdk_${i}.3.06.1.dylib
done
# Re-sign iTunes
codesign -s - --deep --force /Applications/iTunes.app
Opening iTunes throws up an alert saying “An unknown error occurred (-42408).” but after clicking OK, the library features seem to work. I can’t get past the welcome screens for the Store or Apple Music, the Continue button does nothing when clicked.
My problem now is that permissions don’t seem to work, so iTunes doesn’t see my iPod, and can’t access the music library stored on my NAS (accessing network volumes is usually meant to trigger a permission prompt). The Privacy pane crashes when I add iTunes.app to Full Disk Access! This may be fixed by codesigning with a Developer ID certificate, I haven’t tried this yet, but clearly that’s not ideal because it requires a paid Apple developer account.
Perhaps this output in terminal may have something to do with it:
2021-03-30 10:48:16.827 failed to create BKAgent: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service on pid 0 named com.apple.BKAgentService" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service on pid 0 named com.apple.BKAgentService}
It‘s the only suspect-looking line different from the ones seen when I run Music directly from terminal.
That sounds very similar to the behavior I'm getting with 12.6.5. (I'm not trying to sync a device, so I'm not sure how that behaves.) As noted above, the library looks "normal" but there are a number of error code pop-ups, and the store doesn't work at all.
A quick search seems to relate com.apple.BKAgentService to Books, but if that is an error related to changes to the Books application, then it seems like people who aren't on M1's might get an error there as well? I don't see any other tickets related to the store not loading or Books. Or maybe the error is also quietly happening for them, but it's not of concern?
The closest errors in that numeric range I can spot in Apple's support are both related to the iTunes Store though: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204649
There is an older troubleshooting page I spotted for this specific error code (also showing the older more verbose error window):
https://www.tenorshare.com/fix-itunes/how-to-fix-itunes-error-42408.html
@kirb, do any of their suggested remedies seem to do anything?
Based on Console.app output, I think the issue is that now iTunes is no longer signed by an Apple cert. This all works fine on my Intel Mac because iTunes.app doesn’t get patched or resigned:
# Intel
$ codesign -dvv /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes.app 2>&1 | grep -i apple
Identifier=com.apple.iTunes
Authority=Apple Code Signing Certification Authority
Authority=Apple Root CA
# ARM
$ codesign -dvv /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes.app 2>&1 | grep -i apple
Identifier=com.apple.iTunes
The offending console output looks like:

I’m not too sure how this can be fixed, short of booting with boot-arg amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1, which is super dangerous and absolutely not recommended.
Not being able to access my network share was my mistake, I removed bash from Full Disk Access not realising that was put there by Retroactive. Works now that I added it back. It can see my iPod Classic and iPhone 12, but both trigger a message:
iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod “iPod”. Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings.
The iPhone sort of makes sense either because it’s 2-3 years newer than this iTunes build or because it’s relying on the pairing entitlements that are being refused due to ad-hoc signing. I can’t understand the iPod though as I was pretty sure that works entirely via disk access. (Edit: iPhone shows up perfectly on Intel, with icons and model name, since that stuff is handled by the macOS built-in MobileDevice.framework.)
Edit: Reproduced the same behavior on Intel by resigning iTunes with a Developer ID cert (it was refusing to launch with relative @rpath or @executable_path under ad-hoc signing - odd that’s not an issue under Rosetta!). So it’s definitely behavior caused by it no longer getting entitlements since it’s not signed by Apple.
I managed to fix the issue with iTunes 12.9. iTunes was using
@rpathfor libgnsdk (Gracenote SDK I guess), but rpath is considered dangerous, so nowadays its use is discouraged. macOS on Apple Silicon seems to take the discouragement a step further by not allowing rpaths to be used at all, even under Rosetta. This can be fixed by using@executable_path, which Apple should have done in the first place, and they now do with Music.app.I don’t have the exact commands I used on-hand, but it was likely something like:
# Fix the Gracenote SDK load commands cd /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes.app/Contents for i in manager dsp musicid submit; do install_name_tool -change @rpath/libgnsdk_${i}.3.06.1.dylib @executable_path/../Frameworks/libgnsdk_${i}.3.06.1.dylib MacOS/iTunes done for i in dsp musicid submit; do install_name_tool -change @rpath/libgnsdk_manager.3.06.1.dylib @executable_path/../Frameworks/libgnsdk_manager.3.06.1.dylib Frameworks/libgnsdk_${i}.3.06.1.dylib done # Re-sign iTunes codesign -s - --deep --force /Applications/iTunes.appOpening iTunes throws up an alert saying “An unknown error occurred (-42408).” but after clicking OK, the library features seem to work. I can’t get past the welcome screens for the Store or Apple Music, the Continue button does nothing when clicked.
My problem now is that permissions don’t seem to work, so iTunes doesn’t see my iPod, and can’t access the music library stored on my NAS (accessing network volumes is usually meant to trigger a permission prompt). The Privacy pane crashes when I add iTunes.app to Full Disk Access! This may be fixed by codesigning with a Developer ID certificate, I haven’t tried this yet, but clearly that’s not ideal because it requires a paid Apple developer account.
Perhaps this output in terminal may have something to do with it:
2021-03-30 10:48:16.827 failed to create BKAgent: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service on pid 0 named com.apple.BKAgentService" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service on pid 0 named com.apple.BKAgentService}It‘s the only suspect-looking line different from the ones seen when I run Music directly from terminal.
Hi mate, thank you for your help. However I can't achieve what you did. I tried the command you gave but unfortunatly it's not working. Maybe I'm mising something? Could you provide more details about how you did it? Thank you again!
I've tried code signing with -o library, and iTunes launches fine, but there goes error -42408, showing an empty library.
I guess there's more stuff to fix about code signing and entitlements, but I weren't able to figure it out...
Thanks for reporting! Retroactive 2.0 now provides instructions to turn off System Integrity Protection before installing iTunes 12.9.5 on Mac computers with Apple Silicon.
If you would like to keep System Integrity Protection enabled, you can choose to install an older version of iTunes.

On Apple Silicon Macs you could also offer to install iTunes 12.8.3.1 since it's the newest version that works without disabling SIP
