- `cgi` was removed in python 3.13 causing an import error
- `objc` is no longer reexported by Foundation so pull it in manually
- A number of the .so files installed by PyObjC trip up Xcode's `/usr/bin/strip`, failing with the error: `internal error: reloc_has_pair() called with unknown cputype (18)` if `COPY_STRIP_PHASE` is set to `YES` - it's not clear to me whether this is a (temporary?) bug in Xcode 16.3 or something that should be fixed in the Python.framework build process…

Sure thing, will give this a try and let you know 👍 |

Can confirm that the build works for me. For the strip-symbols issue, I think it's the legacy PPC binaries that come bundled with py2app that are tripping up Xcode 16. I was able to build successfully with COPY_PHASE_STRIP enabled after modifying the requirements to use py2app directly from the github master branch (which now uses universal 2) instead of the pypi version: 
Another option is to build from Xcode 15: I tried and this works as well. |
- Xcode was objecting to the legacy fat binaries in the prebuilt dirs - now keeping only the `main-universal2` binary and reenabling symbol stripping in the production build process

Thanks so much for tracking that down. I added a step to the Python.framework Makefile that deletes all the non- |

This PR tries to update PyObjC and the app's embedded Python interpreter to their current releases (as of May 2025), ideally without needing to change the minimum supported macOS version:
Getting
python3 setup.py appto run successfully required disabling the strip-symbols build step (a4fcc8e), leading to a slightly larger final app bundle. It would be nice to be able to reenable this, but I haven't been able to figure out what's causing the error (nor why the files it's having trouble with report containing PPC & x86 but not ARM code).@flimsyhat, would you mind giving these changes a try and seeing if they build successfully for you (whether as a module for python 3.9+ or as an app)?
