ESP32 core update problems - macos

Question

I updated my Arduino IDE to the latest ESP32 core but when compiling get the following error:
[3057] Error loading Python lib '/var/folders/nq/2hn7ngl12sl6qm83hf__7rvr0000gn/T/_MEISjMicX/libpython3.8.dylib': dlopen: dlopen(/var/folders/nq/2hn7ngl12sl6qm83hf__7rvr0000gn/T/_MEISjMicX/libpython3.8.dylib, 10): Symbol not found: ____chkstk_darwin

Error compiling for board ESP32 Dev Module.
I tried to pip load the library terminal returned the following:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dy.lib (from versions: none)

Answer 1

Try installing a previous version of ESP32 library from the board manager, it works for me!

Answer 2

I have bought an ESP32 Kit of the brand freenove. This ESP32 board is the ESP-Wrover-E with the following features:
Chip is ESP32-D0WD-V3 (revision 3)
Features: WiFi, BT, Dual Core, 240MHz, VRef calibration in efuse, Coding Scheme None
Crystal is 40MHz
When I tried to verify the board, I ran the blink example but got the same error.
The current setup of my system at the moment of getting the error was:
Computer: iMac 21.5" Mid 2011, 20 GB RAM
Operating System: Mac OS High Sierra, Version 10.13.6
IDE: Arduino 1.8.9
After search a diagnostic and solution for the error I have decided to follow the recommendation of the previous comment in this entry: "Try installing a previous version of ESP32 library from the board manager, it works for me!", and It works for me. And the following are the steps I have followed with some technical comments in the process
Diagnostic:
The problem is that the current ESP32 board library installed in my Arduino IDE is version 2.0.6 which is not compatible with the Mac OS High Sierra, Version 10.13.6. This is very clear in the error message: "... libintl.8.dylib (which was built for Mac OS X 11.0) ..."
Solution:
Update the Arduino IDE:
I have decided to upgrade the Arduino IDE from version 1.8.9 to the last version available version 2.0.4-nightly-20230216. This step does not solve the problem but, with this, you have a better and upgraded version of the boards and libraries software. The new version of Arduino IDE provides the ESP32 board library version 2.0.6 out of the box.
Downgrade ESP32 Board Library:
Finally, the error is solved by installing manually a previous version of the ESP32 Board Library, y my case I have installed version 1.0.6.
I have tried with all the ESP32 Board Library versions 2.0.5, 2.0.4, and 2.0.0, but none of the versions 2.X.X works properly. For me only version 1.0.6 works like a charm!!.
