macOS under M1, cannot find library

Reverse Engineering Asked on May 19, 2021

I’m looking for the following dylib file which is included from process loginwindow.

If I run vmmap to inspect loginwindow while it’s up and running I get :

user@mycomp / % sudo vmmap -I ``pgrep loginwindow`` | grep libIASUnifiedProgress.dylib

__TEXT                      1c7566000-1c756e000    [   32K    32K     0K     0K] r-x/r-x SM=COW          /usr/lib/libIASUnifiedProgress.dylib
__DATA_CONST                1fdd05628-1fdd06438    [  3600   3600     0K     0K] rw-/rw- SM=COW          /usr/lib/libIASUnifiedProgress.dylib
__DATA                      200ff1f18-200ff27b0    [  2200   2200     0K     0K] rw-/rw- SM=COW          /usr/lib/libIASUnifiedProgress.dylib
__AUTH_CONST                207d4b260-207d4c008    [  3496   3496     0K     0K] rw-/rw- SM=COW          /usr/lib/libIASUnifiedProgress.dylib
__OBJC_CONST                207d4c008-207d4c368    [   864    864     0K     0K] rw-/rw- SM=COW          /usr/lib/libIASUnifiedProgress.dylib
__DATA_DIRTY                20a5b9250-20a5b9460    [   528    528    528     0K] rw-/rw- SM=COW          /usr/lib/libIASUnifiedProgress.dylib

however, the file doesn’t appear to be there … I’m guessing it’s some new trick made by Apple, perhaps do you know how can I find it anyway ?

Thanks,

On ARM macOS, like on iOS, most of the common dylibs are no longer shipped as separate files, but are bundled into the dyld shared cache. You can usually find the caches in /System/Library/dyld/.
