I learned that exporting QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS might get some info, and it did. The app says it is checking directory path ".../dist/cobro.app/Contents/MacOS/qt5_plugins/platforms".
"qt5_plugins" ??? Where does THAT come from? OK, just to make sure everything was clean I reran pyinstaller. Moved libqcocoa.dylib into Contents/MacOS/qt5_plugins/platforms. And the app started. taa-bleeping-daa! So apparently this is what it takes to let Qt 5.4 find its platform plugin. See preceding note for everything I tried that didn't work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
