Trying to use sqlite-net in an uno maccatalyst app and it fails in release mode

[cconner100]

I am trying to use sqllite-net in maccatalyst. This solution works in ios, android and windows in release, in Maccatalyst it runs fine in debug but in release mode i get the following error.

Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../../Contents/MonoBundle/libe_sqlite3.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/USER/*/ZiiDMSApp.app/Contents/MacOS/ZiiDMSApp
Reason: tried: '/Users/curtisconner/ZiiDMS-NextGen/Client/Desktop/ZiiDMSApp/ZiiDMSApp/bin/Release/net9.0-maccatalyst/maccatalyst-arm64/ZiiDMSApp.app/Contents/MonoBundle/libe_sqlite3.dylib' (code signature in <80716F2F-E895-3472-9785-BD2C1437D4F0> '/Users/curtisconner/ZiiDMS-NextGen/Client/Desktop/ZiiDMSApp/ZiiDMSApp/bin/Release/net9.0-maccatalyst/maccatalyst-arm64/ZiiDMSApp.app/Contents/MonoBundle/libe_sqlite3.dylib' not valid for use in process: Trying to load an unsigned library)
(terminated at launch; ignore backtrace)

I checked the output directory its complaining about and the libe_sqlite3.dylib is there.

This is a .net 9 uno application.

Any suggestions?

I don't know much about MacCatalyst development, but I have been working with iOS a little and MAUI.

This solution works in ios, android and windows in release

When you say this, how are you using it in iOS? I suspect that MacCatalyst is using NativeAoT and that you aren't building to NativeAoT on iOS when you are testing your code (since you have to explicitly set options for NativeAoT and use the dotnet publish command for iOS to use NativeAoT instead of MonoAoT in MAUI).

Again, this is just a guess based off of my limited work in iOS.
