FFI error: struct heif_decoding_options: wrong total size

[jinxinl2]

I'm trying to use the pyheif library to convert HEIC files to JPEG, but I'm encountering an issue with the heif_decoding_options struct. When calling pyheif.read() on a HEIC file, I get the following error:

ffi.error: struct heif_decoding_options: wrong total size (cdef says 48, but C compiler says 56). fix it or use "...;" as the last field in the cdef for struct heif_decoding_options to make it flexible

I have the latest versions of libheif and pyheif installed.

libheif: 1.15.2
pyheif: 0.7.1
python: 3.9
macOS: 13.2.1
Apple M2

Here's the code I'm using to read the HEIC file:

heif_file = pyheif.read(temp_file.name)

Could you please help me understand the cause of this error and how to fix it?

Thank you!

https://github.com/carsales/pyheif/blob/694c3b2538978047e6c3070a510c03be399bc542/libheif/heif.h needs to be synced with a recent libheif version.

Same error occurred.

Please tell me how to update "heif.h".

M1 Mac
macOS 13.0
pthon 3.11
libheif 1.16.2
pyheif 0.7.1

I just copy it, "pip install pyheif" will cause an error in below.

You can install from master until the new version will be released:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/carsales/pyheif.git@master#egg=pyheif

What versions of python, pyheif, and libheif should I install and use?
I could not use the following versions with an error.

python:3.9.5
pyheif:0.7.1
libheif:1.17.6
Error: p_options.ignore_transformations = int(not heif_file.apply_transformations)

Same error as @moritaYutaroo.

Install from master branch fails with many errors.
