I’m working on an application (that’s only supposed to run on my machine) that uses PyQt6 to show a hello world text. I do not want to use py2app, pyinstaller or co. I manually created the app bundle and when running the bundle executable it fully works. Only when I double click the .app file (or open it via the terminal) it doesn’t work. The osascript testing thing DOES work.

#!/bin/zsh

osascript -e 'display notification "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" with title "Title"'
cd /Volumes/Media/ExtPycharmProjects/baky-compiler
source /Volumes/Media/ExtPycharmProjects/baky-compiler/.venv/bin/activate
/Volumes/Media/ExtPycharmProjects/baky-compiler/.venv/bin/python3 ./example-app/executor.py

My Info.plist:

<?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">

    <key>CFBundleSignature</key>
    <string>????</string>
    <key>NSPrincipalClass</key>
    <string>NSApplication</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Bundle structure:

Example Application.app/
    Contents/
        MacOS/
            Example Application
        Resources/
        Info.plist

I want the application to start correctly and show the window.
