v0.2 binary release won't start on M2 Macbook Pro

[tveastman]

Describe the bug

Hi! I'm not sure I have the no-how to roll my own release. The current release v0.2 doesn't seem to do anything when I try to run it from my work laptop.

(No error, no visible evidence that it ran at all)

Steps to reproduce

1. Downloaded the 0.2 release and put it in "Applications".
2. I'm pretty sure did the command-open thingee you often have to do when running unsigned releases?
3. I've tried running podium by (a) launching the app, (b) using open Podium.app in the terminal, and opening a .podium presentation.
4. In all cases, nothing happens, not even an error message.

Expected behavior

Just expecting the app to launch, although a decipherable error would be nice too.

Screenshots

No response

Environment

Trying to use the build release, so I don't know if python versions etc are relevant.

Apple M2 Pro, macOS Ventura 13.5

In terms of know how, the process should be:

• pip install briefcase
• briefcase package --adhoc

which should generate a DMG that contains an adhoc signed binary that will work on your machine and nobody else's.

However, I should definitely publish an updated binary that is fully signed, and includes all the recent bug fixes and tweaks from recent Toga versions.

You're right, that turned out to be absurdly easy to build my own v.03 that works! Awesome!
