Ppsspp: PPSSPP won't start on macOS, issue with homebrew libzip 1.4.0 suspected

[oatmeal]

What happens?

PPSSPP crashes on start ever since updating libzip from 1.3.0 to 1.4.0 with homebrew. Here's the relevant part of the crash message:

"Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libzip/lib/libzip.5.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/PPSSPPSDL.app/Contents/MacOS/PPSSPPSDL
Reason: Incompatible library version: PPSSPPSDL requires version 6.0.0 or later, but libzip.5.dylib provides version 5.0.0"

What should happen?

PPSSPP should open normally. It worked fine yesterday before the libzip update.

What hardware and operating system are you running PPSSPP on? GPU might matter if it's a graphical issue.

macOS 10.12.6

PPSSPP works again after downgrading the version of libzip from 1.4.0 to 1.3.0 following these instructions https://stackoverflow.com/a/4158763 . See also http://formulae.brew.sh/formula/libzip for the formula history.

(For anyone who wants to do this, run the following commands in this order:)
brew uninstall libzip
cd $(brew --repository)/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core
git checkout b6d3796 -- Formula/libzip.rb
HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install libzip

To keep homebrew from updating libzip to 1.4.0:
brew pin libzip

Same problem here.

macOS 10.12.5

@oatmeal thank you for the workaround but it's not working for me:
fatal: invalid reference: b6d3796

That should have taken care of it, let me know if you still have issues after that merge.

[Orphis]

If you upgrade your libraries in homebrew, you should rebuild any software built against them. That seems pretty standard to me.

[hrydgard]

I disagree, things shouldn't break this easily - you'd expect most libs to be reasonably backwards compatible.

Also, we need to bundle a copy anyway for Android and Windows, so might as well use it on all platforms for consistency.

Any plans to update the macOS app without using vine or any equivalent?
