Hi,
I've built an app on macOS 10.15.3, using Python 3.7.6 and PySide2 5.14.1.
Lately, I tried to bundle it to be able to deploy it to other Macs.
To do so, I followed [this page|https://www.metachris.com/2015/11/create-standalone-mac-os-x-applications-with-python-and-py2app/] but using [this repo|https://github.com/ronaldoussoren/py2app.git@master|git+https://github.com/ronaldoussoren/py2app.git@master]
To sum up, in my project folder, I ran:
pip3 install --user pipenv
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -U git+https://github.com/ronaldoussoren/py2app.git@master
pipenv install PySide2
py2applet --make-setup main.py
python setup.py py2app -A
This last command allows to create a running app based on local sources.
The next step is to create an actual portable app by typing this command:
python setup.py py2app
It runs perfectly but when I try to start my app, I end up with the following error:
$ ./dist/main.app/Contents/MacOS/main PySide2/__init__.py: Unable to import shiboken2 from /Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python37.zip, /Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7, /Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload, /Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/site-packages.zip, /Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/site-packages Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 101, in <module> _run() File "/Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 84, in _run exec(compile(source, path, "exec"), globals(), globals()) File "/Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/main.py", line 7, in <module> from PySide2.QtCore import Qt, QUrl, QFile, QIODevice, QTextStream, QDataStream File "PySide2/__init__.pyc", line 61, in <module> File "PySide2/__init__.pyc", line 25, in _setupQtDirectories File "shiboken2/__init__.pyc", line 27, in <module> File "shiboken2/shiboken2.pyc", line 14, in <module> File "shiboken2/shiboken2.pyc", line 10, in __load File "imp.pyc", line 342, in load_dynamic ImportError: dlopen(/Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload/shiboken2/shiboken2.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/libshiboken2.abi3.5.14.dylib Referenced from: /Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload/shiboken2/shiboken2.so Reason: image not found 2020-03-10 15:32:54.204 main[55568:1654766] main Error
The first line says that it's unable to import shiboken2 from a list of paths. Among them,
/Users/myUser/Documents/Dev/Annotator/dist/main.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload
which contains a 'shiboken2' folder containing 'shiboken2.so'. I even created a simlink in 'lib-dynload' pointing at 'shiboken2/shiboken.so' and restarted the app but it still doesn't work.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks a lot for your help
