# Runtime issues on older versions of macOS

Very old versions of macOS may fail to run modern NetBeans (confirmed for 10.13 High Sierra).

**Symptom:** Immediate crash on launch (“Apache NetBeans 17 cannot be opened because of a problem”).

Looking at the crash log:

```text
Termination Reason: DYLD, [0x1] Library missing

Application Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries

Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @rpath/libswiftCore.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/NetBeans/Apache NetBeans 17.app/Contents/MacOS/netbeans
Reason: image not found
```

**Cause:** According to <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5481> this is because NetBeans is compiled with a newer version of Xcode that inserts an incompatible Swift launcher wrapper (or something along those lines).

**Solution:** As suggested in [this comment](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5481?focusedCommentId=17307184&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-17307184), download and install the Swift 5 runtime library from <https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1998?locale=en_US>.

Fix confirmed on 10.13 High Sierra. This will almost certainly stop working at some stage, but hopefully by then people will have upgraded…
