bdist_mac¶

This command is available on macOS systems, to create a macOS application bundle (a .app directory).

pyproject.toml
cxfreeze bdist_mac
setup.py
python setup.py bdist_mac

The following options are available for the command:

iconfile¶: Path to an icns icon file for the application. This will be copied into the bundle.

custom-info-plist¶: File to be used as the Info.plist in the app bundle. If not specified, a basic Info.plist will be generated by default, which specifies CFBundleIconFile, CFBundleDevelopmentRegion, CFBundleIdentifier, CFBundlePackageType, and NSHighResolutionCapable.

include-frameworks¶: A list of Framework directories to include in the app bundle.

include-resources¶: A list of tuples of additional files to include in the app bundle’s resources directory, with the first element being the source, and second the destination file or directory name.
