Carthage: libswiftAppKit.dylib provides version 0.0.0

[akaralar]

When I run carthage update with the Cartfile below, I get the error below. What might be causing this, does anybody have an idea?

• carthage version: 0.16.2, installed via Homebrew

Cartfile

github "nakiostudio/EasyPeasy"

Carthage Output

FWIW, I had the same issue. I worked around it by using the package installer.

I'm also experiencing the same issue, any idea of how to fix homebrew updating for Carthage?

Check if you have /Library/Frameworks/CarthageKit.framework, after deleting it everything got back to normal.

Just updated from a very old version, for some reason Homebrew wasn't even aware of local Carthage installation. Perhaps it was installed manually with package installer, it copied some stuff into /Library/Frameworks. Later, when installed with Homebrew, it pulls libs from the old location instead of /usr/local/Cellar/carthage/…/Frameworks/CarthageKit.framework.

I guess Homebrew formula should check for that conflict or Carthage should link against a specific framework?

P. S. Should libswiftAppKit.dylib even be there? On my system it's found only in two places: CommandLineTools and CarthageKit.

Downloading the package installer and installing it solved the problem for me.

@ianbytchek removing the file solved it for me too. apparently I previously installed via package installer before brew. thanks! I'm closing this as this is resolved.

Installing the package worked!, Thanks.

Does anyone know the underlying reason for this error ? I have this issue in a project and I wish to fix it.
