Getting the above error while running pyinstaller hooks.spec --clean

Could you edit your copy of /Users/rohit.patil/Desktop/Git/cs/llm/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PyInstaller/utils/osx.py and insert a print(filename) at this line then rebuild, look at whatever filename gets printed immediately before the exception then upload that file (you might need to hide it in a zip file to stop GitHub from complaining) so that we can see what it is and why it has more than one SDK version?

[rokm]

Suppose we should add the number of version commands in the assertion error message, so we won't have to guess whether it was 0 or > 1.

And since the error originates from

pyinstaller/PyInstaller/building/build_main.py

Lines 851 to 861 in ee44bbb

	if is_darwin:
	binaries_with_invalid_sdk = []
	for dest_name, src_name, typecode in self.binaries:
	sdk_version = osxutils.get_macos_sdk_version(src_name)
	if sdk_version < (10, 9, 0):
	binaries_with_invalid_sdk.append((dest_name, src_name, sdk_version))
	if binaries_with_invalid_sdk:
	logger.warning("Found one or more binaries with invalid or incompatible macOS SDK version:")
	for dest_name, src_name, sdk_version in binaries_with_invalid_sdk:
	logger.warning(" * %r, collected as %r; version: %r", src_name, dest_name, sdk_version)
	logger.warning("These binaries will likely cause issues with code-signing and hardened runtime!")

we should make it non-fatal, and instead just add the offending binary to the list of binaries to warn about.

In the absence of any information to the contrary, I'm assuming that #8221 fixes this.

@bwoodsend When will this get released?
