[solved] macdeployqt: App does not open


  • I am trying to build an app bundle for Mac using macdeployqt. However, when I try to run the application (from Finder or the binary from command line) it will not open, the icon in the dock just keeps bouncing forever.

    macdeployqt does not show warnings or errors when running in debug mode. All libraries are in the local Frameworks folder.

    Before running macdeployqt: otool -L
