Unable to create package for OS X

[Grant]

I have installed Kivy3 version 1.11.0 in my applications folder.

Then executed buildozer init successfully, modified the buildozer.spec file.

But buildozer osx debug fails:

Reading the buildozer documents it looks for python modules so modified it as follows:

# (list) Application requirements

# comma separated e.g. requirements = sqlite3,kivy

requirements = kivy

Installed module docopt and updated the requirements.txt file.

Now seeing this traceback:

I found that the 'package_app.py' is found inside the file osx.py located at:

Users⁩ ▸ ⁨grpieter⁩ ▸ ⁨anaconda⁩ ▸ ⁨envs⁩ ▸ ⁨kivyapp⁩ ▸ ⁨lib⁩ ▸ ⁨python3.6⁩ ▸ ⁨site-packages⁩ ▸ ⁨buildozer⁩ ▸ ⁨targets

I don't find package_app.py anywhere on my system and I am running Python 3.6.0.

Therefore, inside the osx.py file it fails when executing the below command:

cmd = [

            'python', 'package_app.py', self.buildozer.app_dir,

            '--appname={}'.format(package_name),

             '--bundlename={}'.format(title),

             '--bundleid={}'.format(domain),

             '--bundleversion={}'.format(version),

             #'--deps={}'.format(','.join(app_deps)),

             '--displayname={}'.format(title)

             ]

        if icon:

            cmd.append('--icon={}'.format(icon))

        if author:

            cmd.append('--author={}'.format(author))

        check_output(cmd, cwd=cwd)

check_output is a subprocess module.

What is the alternative to 'package_app.py'? Or do I need to install something via PIP???

Thanks,

Grant.

Hi Grant - I went down this path a bit ago myself. I debugged everything as best I could, finding the errors in the various files. I posted it here.

I'm using Python 2.7. So no solace to you but some to me that you are having the same errors with Python3 in the same files as me.

After tumbleweeds floating by for awhile, I went onto Discord and asked. Basically the answer was "None of the core developers work a lot in OSX and probably no one will look at this anytime soon. Especially since you are using Python 2.7 You should be using Pyinstaller". 

My frustration is that they made changes, broke OSX Buildozer, and no one appears to be doing anything about it.

Personally I think that Kivy is seriously missing the boat on really being an easy to use cross-platform system. 

[Grant]

I agree Rick,

I have to abandon the idea of using buildozer and now I am looking into PyInstaller.

When people buy a drill they do it not for the drill itself, but because they want a hole.

People use Kivy because they want an application that can run on any device, not because they want widgets.

Will continue the grind....

Pyinsyaller is giving problem with Pip 19.0 and Python 3.7 while packaging for Windows. Try with Pip 18.1.
