Problem summary

Nuke executable (12.0v1) cannot be attached to Xcode debugger on OSX with SIP enabled.


Customer reported version
nuke.12.0v1


Customer reported platform
n_a_mac 10.14


Steps to reproduce

Prerequisites:

SIP Must be enabled. You can check this using `csrutil status` command.

Install Xcode 10 (10.2 or higher)


To Reproduce:

1) Launch Nuke.

2) Launch Xcode.

3) From Xcode attempt to attach to the running Nuke process.


Expected behaviour

Xcode should attach to the Nuke process successfully.


Actual behaviour
Xcode Error 1 Could not attach to pid : “xxxx”


Workaround

  • Turn off System Integrity Protection (SIP) on the OSX machine you wish to use to debug.
  • or, older versions of Xcode (pre-10.2?) may not check the entitlements before attaching. So downgrading Xcode might also work. Note that we have not tested this.
