Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/1177

Originally assigned to: @NghiaTranUIT on GitHub.

Proxyman version?

Proxyman Version 3.2.0 (30200)

macOS Version?

macOS Monterey Version 12.3 (21E230)

Steps to reproduce

Click on "Certificate" menu
Navigate to "Install Certificate on iOS --> Simulators..."
Click on Step 2 "Install and Trust"

Expected behavior

Certificate should be installed on iOS simulator device.

Description

On latest macOS update (v12.3), Apple removed Python 2.7 (because of its EOL status) so it's no longer available in /usr/bin path. Although you can directly install it by downloading it from python.org (pyenv doesn't work at the moment), Proxyman cannot find it under /usr/local/bin path (or any other alternative path).

Python
Deprecations
Python 2.7 was removed from macOS in this update. Developers should use Python 3 or an alternative language instead. (39795874)

@ppapadatis please try to use simctl for installing the certificate on iOS Simulator. You can activate it in Preference -> Tools -> Check the Use simctl.

I would use simctl command from Xcode to perform this task instead of using the python.

Meanwhile, I will upgrade to macOS 12.3 and fix it. I guess we can use python3 instead of python

That worked like a charm, thanks a lot!
