The file libqcocoa.dylib does exist in the Qt distribution.
Definitely the stock pyinstaller -w operation does not include it or
anything else with a name like "*coco*" in the output bundle.
I modified the spec file to read as follows:
# -*- mode: python -*-
> a = Analysis(['/Users/dcortesi/Dropbox/David/PPQT/CoBro/cobro.py'],
> pathex=['/Users/dcortesi/Desktop/scratch/pyinst'],

> runtime_hooks=None)
> pyz = PYZ(a.pure)
>

> debug=False,

When this is run, the desired lib does appear, in three copies under three
names, in the cobro.app bundle:
$ find dist/cobro.app -name '*coco*'
> dist/cobro.app/Contents/MacOS/cocoa
> dist/cobro.app/Contents/MacOS/libqcocoa
> dist/cobro.app/Contents/MacOS/libqcocoa.dylib
>
Nevertheless, when the app is executed it dies as before with the abort,
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt
> platform plugin "cocoa".

I go into the "hooks" folder and execute cat hook-PyQt5* | grep cocoa and
get no output, so it is not mentioned in a hook. (Nor in PyQt4*)
Any ideas welcome...
