Error on flashing binaries from Macs

MacBook:krux-v22.03.0 xxx$ ./ktool-mac -B goE -b 1500000 maixpy_m5stickv/kboot.kfpkg
[10684] Error loading Python lib '/var/folders/pv/58vvqdhn26q3fvsnbqq6pjb00000gn/T/_MEIGLO3yx/libpython3.9.dylib': dlopen: dlopen(/var/folders/pv/58vvqdhn26q3fvsnbqq6pjb00000gn/T/_MEIGLO3yx/libpython3.9.dylib, 10): Symbol not found: ____chkstk_darwin

As a workaround I suggested to use kflashGUI instead

This looks like the same problem encountered here: jakehilborn/debbit#27

The build of ktool that's included in the release comes from here:
https://github.com/selfcustody/ktool/releases/tag/v0.1.0

Which is itself created by a Github Actions workflow, where I specify the mac version as macos-latest:
https://github.com/selfcustody/ktool/blob/master/.github/workflows/create-exe.yml#L34

According to this table, macos-latest currently corresponds to macos-11:
https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments#available-environments

Do you know what version of Mac OS the machine this failed on was?

As for the workaround, that should work as long as they are able to flash the .kfpkg file (if they flash only firmware.bin, airgapped firmware upgrades won't be possible due to missing kboot). They could also pull down https://github.com/selfcustody/ktool and run ktool.py using their local python 3 installation if that's an option.

@odudex Did you ever get more information about this (e.g., if their Mac OS version was <11 or >11)?

To resolve this, I was thinking I could update the Github workflow in ktool to use the oldest available Mac OS version, and also include ktool.py in the packaged release as a fallback that the user can run under their own python installation.

One case version was 10.13.6

@odudex Going to close for now since I just put out a new release with builds for Mac OS 10 that should hopefully address this user's issue. The new ktool builds will make their way into the 2022.08.0 release.
