macOS Ventura Problems

General Issues

First of all, please read Migration.

Xcode 14.1

Xcode 14.1 has now been released, and is the minimum required version on macOS Ventura.

Apple did not release Xcode 14.1 at the same time as macOS Ventura as intended, but earlier versions do not provide the macOS 13 Ventura SDK. In the time between the release of Ventura and the final release of Xcode 14.1, users had to install the Xcode 14.1 release candidate from Apple's developer site.

Updating MacPorts Base

MacPorts must be re-installed in a version configured for macOS 13 Ventura.

Ensure you have Xcode 14.1 or greater installed and selected (e.g. sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer), and that you have the command line tools installed (xcode-select --install). You also have to agree to the license by running sudo xcodebuild -license.

There have been reports that the -license option might not be sufficient alone, and following command might be required to agree to the license: sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

Rosetta 2 and build_arch

MacPorts defaults to building for the architecture that it is running as. If you have a universal MacPorts installation on an Apple Silicon Mac, and you run it from a terminal emulator that is not a native arm64 binary, MacPorts will end up being run as x86_64, and will build ports accordingly, which can be unexpected. This can be corrected by explicitly setting build_arch arm64 in macports.conf, or by using a native terminal emulator.

A number of MacPorts portfiles and MacPorts base assume that arm64 Macs will have Rosetts 2 installed; you will likely run into issues if you have not installed it. Note that Rosetta 2 is not installed by default, or when running x86_64 binaries from the command line — you must open an application that has only x86_64 code in it to get the prompt to install Rosetta 2.
