I have a similar issue for a Python/Tkinter app using numpy, scipy, and matplotlib. mac OS Catalina (10.15.5) Python v3.7.7 PyInstaller v3.6. Using conda virtual environment.
I execute: >>pyinstaller --noconsole --onefile --windowed myapp.py PyInstaller tosses one warning and one error, which may or may not be relevant: 19972 WARNING: library user32 required via ctypes not found 20162 ERROR: Can not find path ./libtbb.dylib (needed by .../conda/lib/libmkl_tbb_thread.dylib) in the "dist" directory are two files: myapp (Unix executable, size 215.6 mb; black icon) myapp (Application, size 215.7 mb; fancy blue floppy disk with yellow duck logo icon) When I double-click the Unix executable icon, it loads the annoying Terminal window and then does, eventually, bring up my app, which works! When I double-click the myapp Application icon, the computer briefly puts an icon into the dock, and then it disappears, and then a few seconds later the icon flashes in the dock a second time but very briefly. When I "Show Contents" on the myapp Application, here is the Info.plist file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key> <string>myapp</string> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>MacOS/myapp</string> <key>CFBundleIconFile</key> <string>icon-windowed.icns</string> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>myapp</string> <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key> <string>6.0</string> <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>myapp</string> <key>CFBundlePackageType</key> <string>APPL</string> <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>0.0.0</string> </dict> </plist> It is difficult to know where to begin to identify and solve the issue. Any help is appreciated.
