dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __ZN4node19GetCurrentEventLoopEPN2v87IsolateE

dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN4node19GetCurrentEventLoopEPN2v87IsolateE

I am using node.js and express.

That's how I've solve it. If this happen to you, you might try to install the bcryptjs package (yarn add bcryptjs) and replace:

const bcrypt = require("bcrypt");`

by:

const bcrypt = require("bcryptjs");

Hope it will work for you too!
