Hi all, To recover from the recent release issues on macOS I decided to go for option 3).
This is working fine now. I remembered that Troy had added some ICU code in the SWORD engine that helped for the Android build and it also helps on macOS! I may even consider to build SWORD without ICU on Linux because the regularly changing ICU versions are causing trouble for Distro packaging.
