Submitting to mac store

pedruu

Hello, I have an application written with PySide that I'm trying to submit to the Mac Store. I'm using PyInstaller to package it and sign it.

I'm able to build and send to apple store, but on the review process I got a rejection with this message:

Your app uses or references the following non-public or deprecated APIs:
Symbols: _lzma_alone_decoder, _lzma_get_check, _lzma_end, _lzma_stream_decoder, _lzma_properties_size, _lzma_check_is_supported, _lzma_raw_decoder, _lzma_properties_encode, _lzma_auto_decoder, _lzma_code, _lzma_properties_decode, _lzma_easy_encoder, _lzma_lzma_preset, _lzma_stream_encoder, _lzma_alone_encoder, _lzma_raw_encoder, _responsibility_spawnattrs_setdisclaim, _responsibility_get_pid_responsible_for_pid

The use of non-public or deprecated APIs is not permitted on the App Store, as they can lead to a poor user experience should these APIs change and are otherwise not supported on Apple platforms.

I'm thinking this comes from either Python or PySide6, maybe need to use a different build or some different option, don't know.
Anyone has an idea on how to proceed?
Thanks!

@pedruu
And what version of Qt are you using here?

For the _responsibility_spawnattrs_setdisclaim, _responsibility_get_pid_responsible_for_pid part, see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-107167 and https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-109032, are these relevant?

The _lzma_... stuff is from a compression library. That's all I know.

I'm using PySide6 version 6.4.2, and I guess thats the same version of Qt? Not sure how to check.

I see in those links that there is a -appstore-compliant flag you can use, is it possible to do that with PySide as well?

@pedruu have you sorted it out? were you able to publish your app to the Mac App Store? Could you provide the link to the app?
