macOS Sonoma Problems

General Issues

First of all, please read Migration.

Updating MacPorts Base

MacPorts must be installed in a version configured for macOS 14 Sonoma. If you update from an older OS version, you need to run port migrate to reinstall MacPorts base and installed ports that are not OS-independent (see link above).

Ensure you have Xcode 15.0 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

Trace mode not working

Building ports in trace mode (i.e. with the -t option) will fail on Apple Silicon systems running Sonoma. This appears to be due to new security features in Ventura+. This issue is being followed in Ticket: #66358

Rosetta 2

A number of MacPorts portfiles and MacPorts base assume that arm64 Macs will have Rosetta 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, or run softwareupdate --install-rosetta in a terminal window.
