"fbs freeze" does not work with the default program about fbs

[mherrmann]

I'm afraid I cannot reproduce this issue with almost exactly the same versions you have given, nor with PyQt6. How did you install Python? Are you on a Mac M2? What do you get when you type

ls -alh `which python`

?

Typing which python in the bin folder gives this:

freyr@Freyrs-iMac-2 bin % which python
Python 3.9.1 (default, Jan 22 2021, 11:37:45)
[Clang 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.28)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Typing ls -alh gives this:

Hi Michael and news on this - is it a pyinstaller issue on the M2 ?
Thanks
Terry

[mherrmann]

I don't know. In my opinion, the best place to ask is on the PyInstaller issue tracker.

Hi As a lot of people are buying M2 based Macs the issues with FBS pro are going to cause some problems. I rely on it heavily. Can you look into it?
Thanks
Terry

I should mention, since I raised the issue, that I am not using an M2 but a 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. Hence the problem is not limited to M2 machines.

So this is a Ventura or python 3.9 ? issue.?
Monterey freeze works (Python 3.7 fbs 1.0.0) but installer sometimes fails with an error hdiutil: create failed - Resource busy.
Mojave worked without any problems.
I just tried using Miniconda with a new installation and now freeze works and the installer works and gives a working app but a new message
waited 1 seconds for .DS_STORE to be created.
bless: The 'openfolder' is not supported on Apple Silicon devices.
Does any else have any experience of all this?
