Swift 2 / iOS 9 - libz.dylib not found

Question

I\'m using some external codes from google in my new Swift 2.0 project that required \"libz.dylib\" in earlier versions. After updating to the new Xcode / the new SDK.

Answer 1

You can add libz.1.dylib from location:/usr/lib/

1. Go to Build Phases >Link Binary with Librairies > + > Add other
2. Once in the file selection window do CMD+Shift+G (Go to folder) and type /usr/lib/
3. From /user/lib you can add : libz.1.dylib

It worked for me.

Answer 2

libz.dylib is the dynamic lib for Zlib, You can install Zlib from here http://zlib.net/

Answer 3

Remove all dynamic libraries (dylib) from the linking with binaries phase. It will find these libraries on its own.

Answer 4

I had the same problem. I found some kind of way around.

1. Go to Build Phases >Link Binary with Librairies > + > Add other
2. Once in the file selection window do "CMD"+Shift+G (Go to folder) and type /usr/lib/
3. From /usr/lib you can add : libz.dylib and more...
4. Compile and have fun

Answer 5

I have this problem in objective-c project.ios9.1,xcode7.1

1.Go to Target> Build Phases >Link Binary with Librairies > +

2.select libz.tbd and add it

It worked for me

Answer 6

libz.dylib is now found under libz.tbd quote from the Apple developer forums:

For those who are curious, the .tbd files are new "text-based stub libraries", that provide a much more compact version of the stub libraries for use in the SDK, and help to significantly reduce its download size.

Hopefully more documentation will be coming soon.
