Xamarin.Mac https://localhost httplclient

Question

I have a local webapi which i use a selfsigned certificate to run on a pc.I am able to reach the webapi (written in .net core) using the browser (https://localhost:port/controller/method), but when i use httpclient on Mac OS Mojave i get an exception (High Sierra and Catalina works).

System.DllNotFoundException: libc.dylib assembly:<unknown assembly> type:<unknown type> member:(null)

I have read up and it seems like i need to set the DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib (I can see the file - libc.dylib - is there), believe i should add it in the info.plist as an environment variable, but it still fails, or i am doing it wrong.

Any help appreciciated.

Take note, i've set it in Terminal aswell and it is still throwing an exception — JP Veldtman, Jan 30 '20 at 14:25
On further investigation, if i copy libSystem.B.dylib over to the app MonoBundle or Resources folder and rename the file to libc.dylib it is working, but i don't want to embed a library file in the package — JP Veldtman, Jan 31 '20 at 06:41

If you enabled hardened runtime, try adding "Allow DYLD Environment Variables Entitlement" (com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables) into your Entitlements.plist.

I just copy libc.dylib. over to the app MonoBundle or Resources folder. The Dll can be found here: https://github.com/facilityweb/Dlls/blob/master/libc.dylib

Another Solution is import the lib MainClass, like follows:

 static class MainClass
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        //solved mojave notfound dll exception
        IntPtr p = Dlfcn.dlopen("/usr/lib/libc.dylib", 0);

        NSApplication.Init();
        NSApplication.SharedApplication.Delegate = new AppDelegate();
        NSApplication.Main(args);
    }
}
