📄 Description

Add some apps that cannot find iOS Frameworks due to weird dynamic linking via FileSystem.

"Curse of Aros", The app actually doesn't catch dyld environment variables on Mac-catalyst.

2023-11-01 03:49:49.140009+0900 IOSLauncher[3583:64154] PC-DEBUG: PlayShadow is now loading
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Library 'UIKit' not found
at org. robovm.rt.bro.Runtime.getHandle(Runtime.java :317)
at org. robovm.rt.bro.Runtime. loadLibrary (Runtime. java:191)

This is a log of the app, and it didn't crash but always quit due to DYLD env variables.

Pure iOS SwiftUI App

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Test")
.onAppear {
if let dyld = ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"] {
print("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH env var: (dyld)")
//DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH env var: /Users/[name]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test-bfkvkgqricwfawdjxreioirkncqq/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos:/usr/lib/system/introspection
}
}
}
}
It print DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH like this. I guess Mac-Catalyst does not give DYLD env variables.
