macOS aarch64 Build Fails: Missing Native Libraries (OpenCV, JogAmp) in Application Bundle

[shivaramakrishna009]

Problem Summary:

We are experiencing consistent build failures for our Weasis-based application, "Athma," on macOS aarch64 (Apple Silicon). The application fails to launch from the installed .app bundle due to FileNotFoundException errors, specifically indicating that the necessary native libraries (OpenCV and JogAmp) are not found in the /Applications/Athma.app/Contents/app/bundle directory.

Environment:

• Operating System: macOS [Your macOS Version, e.g., 15.3.1] on aarch64 (Apple Silicon)
• Java Version: 20.0.2.1
• Weasis Version: 2.1.0
• Build Tool: Custom Bash Script, Maven
• jpackage: Used for creating the application bundle

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Build the Athma application using the provided build scripts.
2. Install the resulting .app bundle in the /Applications directory.
3. Attempt to launch the application.

Expected Behavior:

The application should launch successfully.

Actual Behavior:

The application fails to launch, displaying FileNotFoundException errors related to missing OpenCV and JogAmp native libraries.

Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken:

• Verified that the correct weasis-opencv-core-macosx-aarch64-* and jogamp-macosx-aarch64-* files are present during the build process.
• Manually placed the libraries in the application bundle.
• Verified library integrity and architecture compatibility.
• Verified code signing.
• Increased Weasis logging verbosity.
• Verified Java version consistency.
• Verified file system integrity.
