Hi Guys!
Can someone recommend the easiest way to deploy a pyqt program on a mac? I thought that py2app was the way to go but have spent the last two days failing. I stripped out ALL my code to the barest of bones (see below) but although it runs in Alias mode and seems to build a "redistributable" OK. It consistently crashes (program has "quit unexpectedly"). See below.
All my code does is load a ui function & displays it (and YES, I did remember to add the ui file to the setup.py file before running "python setup.py py2app".
Could it be that maybe my fancy (sorta) new-ish M1 ARM Macbook Air is causing the trouble? Do I need to force Rosetta emulation? I'm using py2app 0.23. Mac OS 11.2.3 Big Sur Python 3.8.8
I must say that it is VERY frustrating to get your program working and NOT being able to deliver it! I'm going to try with python 3.7, 3.6, & 3.5 before trying fbs again and then..... I may have to give up on python GUI stuff (and go back to Matlab) if I can't deploy.
I apologize since this isn't really about pyqt but I'm a desperate man.

OK.... Never mind! I THINK I got it working. The problem apparently had something to do with anaconda. I created a virtual environment with "python -m venv DanEnv", pip installed everything, and ran all the usual py2app commands and it appears to run OK (at least on my Mac).
