      You know that this is a bit light on information ?
      First thing, you should know what librairies you are using and deploying.
      Then, what makes the computer of your user different from yours ?
      Also, when an application crashes on macOS a report is generated. Ask your user to send you that report.

        But I sent the assembled application to someone else's computer. Computers differ only in that my is QT. The program works with SQLite.

          What do you mean by assembled ?
          Did you use macdeployqt before sending the application ?
          Are you using SQLite directly or are you using the QtSql module ?

                  @sgaist said in How to add libraries to the program in MacOS?:

                  @mikeeeeee what about reading the documentation ?

                  But in this documentation there is no instruction how to collect libraries in a folder by the program.

                        Maybe QtInstallerFramework can help?

                          the macdeployment tool does it for you, that's the point, and the docu section has an example on how to call it
