xattr: No such file: ./graalvm-ce-java16-21.1.0/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib

When trying to download and install GraalVM using https://www.graalvm.org/docs/getting-started/macos/ and https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-builds/releases/tag/vm-21.1.0

I got warning about missing file for GraalVM java16

Downloads % sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ./graalvm-ce-java16-21.1.0/*
xattr: No such file: ./graalvm-ce-java16-21.1.0/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib

But there was no such warnig for GraalVM java11

Downloads % tar -xzf graalvm-ce-java11-darwin-amd64-21.1.0.tar.gz 
Downloads % sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ./graalvm-ce-java11-21.1.0/*

The file ./graalvm-ce-java16-21.1.0/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib is actually present in both java11 and java16 distributions, but it is shown as symlink in Finder

I don't know what is real result of this file , but I cannot be sure that sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine did actually processed all files.

Hi, Thank you for reporting this issue, this is a known issue for the GraalVM team. we replaced this file with a link to workaround some JDK issue which I believe has been fixed at some point. In the meanwhile, the files moved in the JDK and our workaround link points to the wrong location. I think you can use GraalVM jdk16 directly by setting it to your PATH without the need for sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine, please give it a try and let us know if you face any issues.

I'll stick to LTS versions

Internally this is reported as fixed, so I am closing this ticket. Let us know if this is still not working for you on a recently released version.
