JSONField for SQLite on macos - cannot set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

[zach valenta]

Trying to use JSONField with SQLite on macOS [Mojave 10.14].

I followed the instructions for how to enable SQLite's JSON1 extension but was unable to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH as an environmental variable.

# attempt to export
$ export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=path/to/dir
# no stdout
$ env | rg DYLD

Based on Stack Overflow, inability to set this env var is the result of a ​macOS security policy.

Should the docs for JSONField using SQLite be updated? Is there a commonly used workaround to this problem in the Django community?

JSON1Extension is a Wiki page, so you can add a warning or describe a workaround on your own.
