I have a similar issue, but I think the __dso_handle trick is not fixing it for me. I have a framework that needs to find a section in the main app binary. Until now I could use this (simplified) code to achieve this: uint8_t* get_slided_section_data(const char* seg, const char* sect, size_t* size) { uint8_t* data = nullptr; for (unsigned i = 0, n = _dyld_image_count(); i < n && !data; i++) { const mach_header* header = _dyld_get_image_header(i); if (header->filetype == MH_EXECUTE) { data = getsectiondata((mach_header_64*)header, seg, sect, size); } } return data; } However, this seems to not work anymore (I assume the same reason as the original issue). From my understanding, __dso_handle points only to the defining image image start. Since I need to find a section from a framework in the main app binary, this seems not to work. Is there some way to make this work/achieve the same thing with ENABLE_DEBUG_DYLIB enabled?
