When I build/run/archive my app in Xcode (on MacOS 12.3) I encounter this error:
env: python: No such file or directory
Command Ld failed with a nonzero exit code
I think I might have changed something with regard to my python environment while working on a school project or messed something up there. However, I can not figure out what is wrong.
I tried reinstalling Xcode and python (using brew and pyenv). I also relinked python using brew. But I still encounter the same error.
Which python gives the following results:
which python3
-> /usr/local/bin/python3
And in my ~/.zshrc I have the following line:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:$PATH
Any help would be appreciated! If I missed or forgot anything please let me know, I'm quite new to this.
Homebrew only installs the binary python3, just to be safe. Xcode is complaining about a lack of the binary python (note the lack of a 3!).
You have a couple of options:
When installing python3, Homebrew also creates a libexec folder with unversioned symlinks, such as python (what you're missing). Note the Caveats printed when installing it:
$ brew info python
python@3.9: stable 3.9.10 (bottled)
==> Caveats
Python has been installed as
/opt/homebrew/bin/python3
Unversioned symlinks `python`, `python-config`, `pip` etc. pointing to
`python3`, `python3-config`, `pip3` etc., respectively, have been installed into
/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.9/libexec/bin
See: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-and-Python
You could add this directory to your $PATH, such that python and pip become available; something like the following might suffice:
echo 'export PATH="'"$(brew --prefix)"'/opt/python@3.9/libexec/bin:$PATH"' \
>>~/.bash_profile
... although that will need to be modified according to your precise version of Python3, your shell of choice, etc.
Alternatively and more simply, although a little more jankily, you could simply manually create the appropriate symlinks:
ln -s "$(brew --prefix)/bin/python"{3,}
I had posted the same question on nativescript official github and the solution that worked for me was in the answer by the user shilik
Monterey 12.3 removes python 2. All you need to do is to reinstall python2 back to system from this link https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/
