signal_jni error when running locally built signal-cli

[JpGallegos]

Hello,

Issue

When running signal-cli after building it I get the following output:

gradle run --args="-u +1<my phone number> register"

> Task :run FAILED
WARN App - WARNING: Support for new group V2 is disabled, because the required native library dependency is missing: libzkgroup

I get the same signal_jni error! I hope this is solved soon

I am running Mac OS X 10.15.7, Gradle 6.8.1, and JDK 15.0.2

Thanks to the guide @AsamK linked I found that the issue is that OSX doesn't like the .so objects in the .jar files. To get it to run correctly you need to put libsignal.dylib and libzkgroup.dylib somewhere in your java library path. In my case I put them in ~/Library/Java/Extensions

libzkgroup.dylib was downloadable at https://github.com/signalapp/zkgroup/releases/download - but where did you get libsignal.dylib from ?
Building libsignal-client did not help me ...

I don't know what to tell you, I followed the steps in the wiki page and got the libsignal.dylib exactly where the wiki said it would be.
