Hi there,

I've been trying to deploy a simple 'Hello world' PyQT app to the Mac App store for a while now.

This seemingly simple task, of using arguably the world's most popular language, to deploy an app on the second most popular OS (MacOS), has been nothing short of a nightmare.

All of the guides which even refer to doing something like this seem to be outdated or contain gaps. I've encountered many issues with codesigning and sandboxing. So I am here to ask:

If I want deploy a PyQT Pyinstaller app on the MacOS app store which contains a simple 'Hello, world!' message, am I completely out of luck? Is this even possible?

For reference, I am using an M1 Mac, if that makes any difference.
