libSQLite.Interop not found Mac OS | M1

Question

I am using dotnet 6 on a M1 Pro, and am struggling to use the SQLite-Package.

System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'SQLite.Interop.dll' or one of its dependencies.

This is the error that is thrown, whenever I try to run the application. Building however works fine.

Answer 1

As a workaround to sqlite not yet targeting arm64, you can use the .net 6 x64 architecture.

• Install .net 6 x64 from here.
• Configure your IDE (or terminal) to use .net x64. This will vary by IDE, but in Rider:
  • Press CMD , to open preferences
  • Navigate to "Toolset and build" section
  • Change the .NET CLI executable path to /usr/local/share/dotnet/x64/dotnet
