Build for Apple Silicon (M1) -> sqlcipher.dll not found

[DanielTizon]

Hi,

I'm getting sqlcipher.dll not found error when I build my app in Unity Editor (2021.1.23f1), using scripting backend "Mono", and selecting Architecture "Intel 64-Bit + Apple Silicon".

If you select Architecture "Intel 64-Bit", it works. But new Apple Macs are going to use M1 chipsets, so it would be nice to be able to build for this architecture,

Thanks!

Thank you about your feedback. I am also eager to supply that platform build. But I don't have mac machine for that. I noticed someone is using github's workflow action for multi platform library. but I need to investing about that

@DanielTizon Hi I built library for apple silicon(arm) using github action.

But as I mensioned, I don't have that machine. so Could you test that bundle using this?

Yes, I will test it and tell you if it is working now,

Thanks!

@netpyoung I'm trying test it, I just replaced macOS folder of plugins folder, but I am getting this error message when building:

Plugin 'sqlcipher.bundle' is used from several locations:
 Assets/SqlCipher4Unity3D/Plugins/macOS/arm64/sqlcipher.bundle would be copied to <PluginPath>/sqlcipher.bundle
 Assets/SqlCipher4Unity3D/Plugins/macOS/x86_64/sqlcipher.bundle would be copied to <PluginPath>/sqlcipher.bundle
 Assets/SqlCipher4Unity3D/Plugins/macOS/lipo/sqlcipher.bundle would be copied to <PluginPath>/sqlcipher.bundle
Please fix plugin settings and try again.'

Well it seems problem to place duplicate bundle. lipo/sqlcipher.buldle itself contains x86_64 and arm64 both.

So Would you replace put lipo/sqlcipher.bulde to macOS/sqlcipher.bundle then remove other bundles?

Hey netpyyoung,

I already tried it, and I am getting now this error:

well. It seems like Unity Editor on Silicon does not stable. It looks like there are some issues on silicon

• https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-on-apple-silicon-and-big-sur-known-issues-and-workarounds.929220/

So In my opinion, It should be tested after they release suitable for handling this dylib.

Hello @netpyoung ,

just to let you know that I tested your https://github.com/netpyoung/prebuilt-libsqlcipher/releases/download/v0.0.1/macos_ios_tvos.zip with Unity 2022.1.2f1 and it works! What I did:

• I uninstalled SqlCipher4Unity3D from Unity Package Manager
• I downloaded SqlCipher4Unity3D-1.3.0.unitypackage and opened it in my project
• I removed content of SqlCipher4Unity3D/Plugins/macOS and copied there macOS/arm64 folder with sqlcipher.bundle from macos_ios_tvos.zip
• I started the project and DllNotFoundException: sqlcipher assembly:<unknown assembly> type:<unknown type> member:(null) is gone and all works again

Would it be possible to bring this lib for Apple Silicon to the new release of SqlCipher4Unity3D so I can go back to UPM version?

Thank you very much!

[netpyoung]

@nevadzask thank you for reporting that.

I'm not sure libsqlcipher's version problem or caused by https://github.com/netpyoung/prebuilt-libsqlcipher/pull/1 .

• v0.0.1 used VERSION=v4.4.3 for sqlcipher but SqlCipher4Unity3D's release 1.3.0 used VERSION=v4.5.0.
• v0.0.1 used CoreFoundation but PR instead used Foundation .

Would it be possible to bring this lib for Apple Silicon to the new release of SqlCipher4Unity3D so I can go back to UPM version?

well.... i used lipo command to compress all libs into one bundles. as I mentioned v0.0.1 used VERSION=v4.4.3 so It may cause some other issues.
