About:
MacDependency is a command-line utility designed to analyze and list the dynamic library dependencies of macOS applications and binaries. It provides detailed insights into which frameworks and libraries an executable requires to run, helping developers identify missing components or understand application architecture. The tool is particularly useful for debugging deployment issues and managing application dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Analyzes Mach-O binaries to list dynamic dependencies
  • Displays framework versions and paths
  • Supports both application bundles and standalone executables
  • Provides detailed dependency tree information
Use Cases:
  • Debugging missing library errors when distributing applications
  • Auditing application dependencies for security or licensing compliance
  • Understanding the dependency structure of third-party macOS applications
Alternatives:
  • otool – Built-in macOS tool with similar functionality but less user-friendly output formatting
  • Dependency Walker (Windows) – Windows equivalent that visualizes DLL dependencies, but not available for macOS
