That’s quite odd. My app is using libcrypto, too, and works fine on BS - M1 or Intel.

BS 11.1 on Intel is working fine with libcrypto.dylib, but on the M1 MacMini of one of my software testers the UB version of my apps are aborted with the above mentioned entry in the crash log…
Maybe the symlink is broken, misleading or not present on his machine, don’t know…
Yup, confirmed: calling libcrypto for ARM gives a FunctionNotFoundException. Sigh…
So it’s either refactor or BYOL time.

fffsshhhh…
For both M1 and Intel I am using libcrypto.1.1.1.dylib and it works correctly.
Okay, I’ll check for that version. 0.9.8 was the version that was available on all macOS versions.
You can download the 1.1.1 source code from: https://ftp.openssl.org/source/ and it is required to build it for both Intel and M1 separately and then to create a universal binary file.

Just checked - back to 10.11 (El Capitan) libcrypto.35.dylib is avaliable - and this one works fine on M1 Macs. On HighSierra or higher there is also libcrypto.41.dylib available, but Apple sets the symlink to libcrypto.35.dylib

10.10 Only has 0.9.8 and 0.9.7.
It is a shame that Apple acts this way. We only need this for the App Store, and the harder Apple makes it for people to put their apps on the App Store, the more it becomes full of cloned apps and the only the big brands.
We’ve literally watched as the App Store went from being 80% of our business all the way down to 10%. Some of that is just economics, some of that is because of the App Store restrictions prevent us from providing the features that our customers want/need in App Store apps.
Literally this week, I set about adding a feature that customers have requested, only to find that it won’t work on the App Store, for a product that I was only selling via the App Store. I now need to provide a version outside of the App Store so I can include this feature.
Would it be allowed to make a small simple app store app which just advertises your products? Or would they forbid that?
You still support 10.10 Yosemite in your Mac App Store apps? I am thinking about dropping support for Sierra, as there is a bug in the accountsd, which results in a crash while validating the MAS receipt and I found no workaround yet…
No, we are not allowed to do that.
Xojo 2020r2 has some very odd behaviours with High Sierra and the html viewer. Changing the font doesn’t work anymore. So I’m going to Mojave with the next version of my app.

Talking about the App Store.
In the recent years, when needed, I advertised (elsewhere) about “The Unarchiver.app” (especially because it allows to extract mages from free pdf files).
Some months ago (after reading this thread), I activate the App Store application and searched it. To my great surprise, there was some (many) applications with enarly the same name.
How buyers can differenciate between them (ours)…
Maybe (maybe…) Apple needs to dry all these people who provide me toos applications.
Sam did you checked (if there are) how many applications that have a name / look / set of features (apparent) that looks similar ?
Unfortunately, taking my example, unarchiver is the real name to use: I do not see what other name can be better fitted (proff: all others takes the same more or less).
PS: I tried to express a creative point of view on the trouble. I can’t believe Apple is yo-yoing developers besides draining the multitude of “me too” applications.

There have been in the past. Occasionally other apps will also show up (I think the search is broken).
I just read this

You gotta remember the guy who’s in charge of Apple is a money person, that is what matters to them. All the time they’re in charge, Apple will reflect that.
When the CEO gets replaced, I hope that Apple pick someone who cares about what they sell, not just the profit from each unit.

If I build my application with 2021 R1, then application crashes on startup.

What kind of person names their classes and function names like this? Me, that’s who.
- Find your copy of the appStoreReceipt class.
- Find the constant “kLibCrypto”.
- Set the value of the constant to “/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib”.
Now this isn’t future proof as I fully expect one day for these libraries to be gone, but as of Big Sur, we’re no longer able to see what libraries the macOS contains for libcrypto, you know for “Security” and “Privacy” reasons.
Hopefully one day we’ll be able to utilize the version that Xojo use. It needs some extensions, I felt sure I had a feature request somewhere… Couldn’t find it, so I made one.
<https://xojo.com/issue/64336>
If I change this value, the application would be run on an older macOS release? but I think this could not be the problem, because I have another app build for the “App Store” with 2021 R1 and this application runs without any problem. If I build my application with 2020 R2.1, the application runs without any problem.
AFAIK it will run on Mac OS X 10.10 and above, but I haven’t tested it with anything lower.
Ultimately, we’re going to have to bundle a copy of libcrypto with our applications in the future.
