Generate resources fail in M1: Segmentation fault

[estebancastrosola]

Hello! I have a problem with capacitor/assets (and also with cordova-res) that I can't generate the resources for iOS on an apple M1 chip. Always the error: segmentation fault

I have installed vips with brew (in arm64 arch) even sharp, but it still doesn't work...

Any ideas?

I'm not able to reproduce but will leave this open in case others have a similar issue and have more to add, thanks

I encountered this issue with capacitor-assets 3.0.5.
On my Apple Silicon Mac, build script was running in a Docker container which is x64 architecture Linux.

After updating sharp to 0.33.4 and use Node.js v18.17.0, the segmentation fault disappeared.
For more details about node version, see withastro/astro#9345 (comment) .

[UPDATE]: I botched the copy of the new sharp into the directory ./node_modules/@capacitor/assets/node_modules/sharp. When I copied the files properly, the seg fault disappeared. Thanks @knaito-asial

I have the same issue, except it only crashes on Android, not iOS, e.g.

npx capacitor-assets generate --android
fails, but
npx capacitor-assets generate --ios works

@knaito-asial how did you upgrade sharp?

I did
npm install sharp
but that produced a new installation of sharp, rather than updating the one under node_modules/@capacitor/[email protected]. I then copied the new sharp directory into the capacitor/assets/node_modules/sharp directory, but neither of those fixed the segmentation fault...

This is still an issue, sharp dependency needs updated

[Quasarman]

Updating sharp to latests fixes this issue

Same problem here. When running capacitor-assets generate --android on a github self hosted runner it causes a Segmentation fault: 11 issue. This seems like a executable error with capacitor-assets and the runner since the script is trying to access some temp folders which are not permitted. @mlynch this is why its hard to reproduce localy. :)

hi I installed version 2.0.4 and it solved my problem

[dvag-lukas-rybacki]

Hi @hardcorelite version 2.0.4 of what? If you mean capacitor-assets i use version 3.0.5 still facing the issue

For ios, I used version 2.0.4 for Android 3.0.5, which helped me with icon generation as well as splash (capacitor-assets)
