Missing headers in macOS 10.15 (Catalina)

What happened to header files after Catalina update? I am getting the error "assert.h:No such file or directory". In Mojave this issue was solved by using macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg package. Is there any such package for 10.15 or any other solution? Is anyone else facing this issue?

Solution 1:

Recently I also updated to Catalina and got the same problem. As it was mentioned there is no equivalent package macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg for Mac OS 10.15 which solves the problem for Mojave.

There are several things you can do which worked for me.

1. Always try

   xcode-select --install
   

2. Some answers recommend to agree with the license. I'm not sure if it's helpful but I did it anyway

   sudo xcodebuild -license
   

   and type agree.

3. Apparently you can find these headers in a /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/usr/include directory. So you can add it to some environment/build system variable.
