ZAT will not install on Apple Silicon/M1 processor nor MacOS BigSur

[agrohs]

Looks like errors in thin version 1.7.2 with XCode 12 prevent ZAT from installing.

[agrohs]

Seems that updating the zendesk_apps_tools.gemspec file to:

  s.add_runtime_dependency 'thin',        '~> 1.8.0'

Then changing .ruby-version file to 2.6.3

And running a bundle install to build our local copy of ZAT worked to get around!

[pelargir]

Same problem. I'm running Big Sur. Here is the full stack trace:

I have the same issue.

[kyleleow]

For anyone having the same issues on m1 Macs and if you have no idea how to modify the .gemspec file as suggested, you can install thin version 1.7.2 explicitly using this command:
gem install thin -v 1.7.2 -- --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"

Reference: zendesk article

[gabsong]

I also have this error, and I'm on an Intel Mac running MacOS Catalina 10.15.7.

@kyleleow your solution worked, but I think it might be worthwhile looking at this since it does not seem M1 Mac specific.

[bestjane]

I solved the problem in the following way

 bundle config build.thin --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
 bundle install

[YuryPatsekhin]

Hi!
I had the same problem on my Mac Big Sur 11.6 with M1 chip. None of the suggested solutions helps me (I tried to reinstall Xcode, updating/reinstalling command line tools, deal with the installation of thin separately, etc.). One thing that really helps me it's changing the ruby version to 2.6.9 with rbenv (https://gorails.com/setup/osx/11-big-sur - check Installing Ruby . Follow this instruction, but choose another ruby version). After change ruby version, make sure the correct version of ruby is currently selected with ruby -v and then try execute gem install zendesk_apps_tools again. I tried several versions of ruby before it worked for me, but in the end everything was fine on 2.6.9 version

[boonier]

Can confirm that v2.6.9 of Ruby and ZAT is now working fine on Monterey 12.3.1 with M1 Max. This is using Node v14.20.0.

Had proper headaches and went down numerous rabbit holes getting this up and running, before finding the answer in this issue; the documentation alludes to ZCLI (the node based tool) being a replacement for ZAT that works for M1 architectures. The problem is that functionality is half-baked and you can't preview themes locally with ZCLI.

Zendesk, please make this clear in the docs here https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/apps/zendesk-app-tools-zat/installing-and-using-the-zendesk-apps-tools/#installing-zat and also https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/apps/app-developer-guide/zcli/
