[SOLVED] dyld: Library not loaded for (xcrun altool)

dyld: Library not loaded for (xcrun altool)

I use xcrun altool command to connect app store. But the command always fails with below errors.

Environment:-

$ sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.15.7
BuildVersion:   19H1922

$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 11.6
Build version 11E708

$ xcode-select -v
xcode-select version 2373.

$ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

$ xcrun --version
xcrun version 50.

I'm getting this error when trying to run xcrun altool on terminal.

Error:-

$ xcrun altool
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/ITunesConnectFoundation.framework/Versions/A/ITunesConnectFoundation
  Referenced from: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/altool
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

The above command expected output would be something like below.

Error: code -1003 (No command was specified. Unable to run altool.)

How am I able to resolve this issue? Any advice is appreciated

Solution

First thing first, altool is deprecating, consider moving to notarytool as soon as possible. See Apple Doc

And both your Xcode version and your macOS version are far too old, my Xcode is 13.4.1 already. So I doubt whether App Store can accept connections from your Xcode version.

For your question, if you want a quick fix, just upgrade your macOS and the Xcode app. Or you can check whether your framework is missing at: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/ITunesConnectFoundation.framework, may be a reinstall of your current Xcode version.
