Help/Support Sideloadly M1 Max: Failed to init layer 2

[reesebre82 0 iPhone 11 Pro Max 14.3]

Sideloadly will not open for me on my M1 Max.

 

Ive tried version 0.22.2, and the new 0.23 but both give me the following error message.

Ive tried looking through the forums and online for similar issues but cannot find a resolution.

Both times I have downloaded Sideloadly right from Sideloadly.io

Do you have any ideas I could try? Thanks!

Hello,

Do you have Python installed on your system already?

[reesebre82 0 iPhone 11 Pro Max 14.3]

Thanks for the fast response!

 

Yep, I do have python installed.

I just ran python --version to double check and it came back with Python 3.8.10

 

I am also on a clean install of Monterey 12.0.1 if that helps in any way.

 

Thanks again.

That seems to be the reason for the issue above.

We'll have to investigate why this is happening and hopefully provide a fix next update.

For now, if you really need Sideloadly, removing (or disabling?) Python from your system may help.

Wow! That fixed it! Thank you so much for the quick replies! 

 

I spent far too much time researching what could be going on and you solved it in minutes. 😆

 

Thank you and the whole team for the great work!

It's a temporary fix.

I don't want to remove python on my system 😢. So I tried to replace cryptography with its x86_64 version and that works.

cd ~/Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages
# remove or backup these two folders
mv cryptography cryptography_arm64
mv cryptography-3.4.7.dist-info cryptography-3.4.7.dist-info_arm64
# install cryptography with x86 version
arch -x86_64 /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install cryptography

Hope there will be a non-invasive solution in the next update~

No it doesn't. Successfully start the application and see the GUI window though.

Have the error

> cffi library '_openssl' has no function, constant or global variable named 'Cryptography_HAS_SIGALGS'

Maybe that means to use a x86 version of openssl as well.
