Apologies for a messed-up report earlier. I had attempted pyinstaller -w myscript.spec, but the spec file was left over from previous runs that did not specify -w. My bad.
When I ran pyinstaller -w -i iconfile.icns myscript.py, a correct Mac OS app folder was created, it even sported the desired icon. So MacOS bundle is in and working for python 3. But when double-clicked, the app failed with SIGABRT. Running from the command line, myscript.app/Contents/MacOS/myscript produces the console message, > This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa". > Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. > Abort trap: 6 "find -name '*oco*'" gets no hits in the .app folder. Searching the files in the build folder, I do not find the string "oco" in any of the files, the warn file or any of the out00-* files. Using otool -L Qt* | grep oco shows that four of the Qt DLLs refer to /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa but that should not be a problem. None of the Py*.so files refer to "oco" on this test. Martin asked, > Could you find out if the rthook ./PyInstaller/loader/rthooks/pyi_rth_qt5plugins.py> is bundled with the executable?
