I spent a _little_ while digging into the details of this a few months ago, and my understanding is this: * Apple were suffering version-skew hell because (reportedly) the OpenSSL folk kept changing the ABI for the library. * So they lost patience and deprecated OpenSSL on macOS * ...to the extent that there are now compiler-visible deprecation markers in the relevant still-visible header files. * The doctrine is that one should use Apple's own encryption frameworks (as you noted, Vasilij) * (which work fine, in the pretty basic uses I've made of them, but they don't pretend to be OpenSSL) * ...and act as if there were no OpenSSL library at all on macOS. * As Lassi noted, there is still a LibreSSL library on the system in fact, but I believe it is intended to be strictly for legacy use. So if you have a tool which depends on Open/LibreSSL, then you need to get it on your machine either from source, or using the package manager of your choice, and not even try using the system one. If I've misunderstood or misrepresented one of the steps here, I'm sure someone will cheerfully correct me.
