Py2App v0.21 App is not launching just ask if I want to terminate the app or open console.

[RaviMengar]

Hi,

Working in Mac OS X Catalina 10.15.6 with python 3.8

I've coded a python3.8 app with PyQt5. It's working perfectly with python3 main.py, and even When using the alias mode of py2app (python main.py py2app -A) the application runs perfectly. Now, I create the final standalone (python main.py py2app) and the output app runs perfectly.

Now, when I try to run this app in another mac, the application is not launching instead it asks if I want to terminate the app or open console.

Maybe, It looks like the app cannot find things in their proper place or It may have some packaging issue.

Any help really appreciated! @ronaldoussoren

Hi, I had a simiilar issue. The app couldn't find my data files and thus popping an exception. Did you double-check all data files were available?

I found a solution for my own problem.

I was using python installed via brew, and now I installed a new python environment using the installer I downloaded from python.org. like /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3 -m venv venv

Repackaged the program in this environment. It works fine under macOS 10.14/10.15.

My development environment is: macOS 11.1

To build an app that runs on older versions of the OS you need a copy of Python that can run on that OS. The easiest way to accomplish that is by using the Python.org installers that run on macOS 10.9 or later. AFAIK most other options, such as homebrew and conda compile for more recent versions (when they offer binary downloads) or the current machine.
