[ghost]

Problem description
After upgrading frida-python to 14.2.14, import frida fails with following message:

ImportError: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "frida_selinux_apply_policy_patch" referenced by "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/_frida.so"...

Scripts in frida-tools package (which depends on frida-python) fails with same error.

Expected behavior
-

Additional information
I believe it's happening because the function name has changed by upstream while the patch in this repository hasn't been updated accordingly.

Thanks for reporting and investigating! Should be fixed in frida 14.2.18, which should be available in ~half an hour as long as the build succeeds

[Grimler91]

Welp, re-opening. CI build fails with some weird error and local build seem to fail due to arm build requiring ndk 22, so need to spend some time on it.

[Grimler91]

Fixed in frida 14.2.14-1

The same thing happens to me with the latest version

[arjatr]

Any solution?

[Grimler91]

@arjatr please open a new issue and fill in the bug report template. I get an error when I try to import frida, but it is totally different from the one in this issue, so yours might be different
