App bundle not work after executing macdeployqt
-
Hi,
I am creating Qt application installer for Windows and Mac ventura using QT Installer Framework. I have successfully created Qt application installer for Windows using QT Installer framework and it works fine on Windows 10 and 11.Now I am creating Qt application installer for macOS using QT installer framework. After executing macdeployqt/macdeployqt6, app bundlle not work (i.e. application under macOS folder not work) and I am getting an error.
When I run the following otool command, I get these ref paths which looks fine. It contains all libs under Frameworks.
otool -L inspirationalclips.app/Contents/MacOS/inspirationalclips

I am using QT 6.9.1 and latest Qt installer framework.
Please help me to fix this problem.
Thanks,

QT Installer framework is 4.10 for mac is used.

Though I have not signed the app yet, but I think app bundle should work properly and not give an error.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Which exact error are you getting ?
And yes, not signing your application can trigger issues since macOS is pretty protective in that regard (signature + notarization).
