Discord GameSDK recognising .dylib in playtest only, but not when the app is built.

EpicDankDude

So here is my project layout: (Note: That .dylib file is important here)

But when I export, the dylib file isn't recognised but is recognised when play testing?

If you don't understand what I am saying, let me try and say that again but better:

When I play test, the GameSDK launches the Rich Presence:

But when I play the exported .app executable it just crashes meaning that it might not find the DC GameSDK .dylib

If I run the raw binary itself (the application binary) then Console outputs this:

Please help :(

How are you using the GameSDK in Godot? Did you make sure to include .dylib in the Godot export settings as an additional resource? I'm not sure if it would make a difference, but that's what I would check.

cybereality

Yeah, I think that is right. If you add files not recognized by Godot as import assets, you have to manually add them to the resource whitelist in the export menu. I don't use Mac but I believe that would work.

EpicDankDude

How do I do what you both recommended then?

TwistedTwigleg

If you go to the export tab, and then under the export path you click resources, there is a field where you can tell Godot what to export. Here's a picture:

In this case, the project I'm working on exports .json, .txt, .md. and .py files when exporting the project.

EpicDankDude

Hmm, I added *.dylib but the game still crashes on startup.

Also, macOS tells me this when it crashes:

Hmm, so I guess that was not it after all. Does placing the .dylib next to the executable help? I know sometimes in Windows if you have the built library in the same folder as the executable that can fix binding issues, but I'm not sure if the same applies to Mac.

Unfortunately I do not have a Mac myself, so I'm just guessing at this point. If you have not already, maybe see if anyone on the Godot chat platform and/or one of the other Godot social platforms knows? It could be someone there has a Mac and has exported a Godot project with .dylib files. Or maybe make a GitHub issue if no one seems to know, as it should work on export if it works on in the Editor, and even if it is a missing setting or something, the documentation should probably mention it and therefore an issue may not be a bad idea.

EpicDankDude

I heard that the GameSDK stopped supporting Godot or something but I am so keen to get this to work.

Does placing the .dylib next to the executable help?

Will try this.

EpicDankDude

Nope, instant crash again :(

Where should I make a GH Issue? GameSDK GH or Godot Engine GH?

TwistedTwigleg

@EpicDankDude said: Nope, instant crash again :(

Where should I make a GH Issue? GameSDK GH or Godot Engine GH?

I would suggest the GameSDK GitHub first, and then if they do not know or there is no reply after a few days, then the Godot Engine GitHub.

EpicDankDude

Nope they didn't seem to know. I'll ask on Godot Engine GH now. Hold on

EpicDankDude did you ever find a fix for discordRP crashing on Mac?
