Fails to package app on OSX Sierra 10.12.4 (hdiutil: attach failed - image not recognized keka) #494

Should be fixed by #505 |

Issue still persists for me. |

It also persists in my case too |

@akshayaurora Not fixed. Just found this page when using latest kivy, latest buildozer. $ python --version |

Hi, I received the same error when I've tried to package a kivy app on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 using buildozer. Is there any workaround to fix this? |

Hi, I was able to locate the problem and fix the error. Considering you are using python3, the main problem is that if buildozer doesn't find a file called Kivy3.app it tries to download a dmg file from http://kivy.org/downloads/1.10.0/Kivy-1.10.0-osx-python3.dmg which obviously does not exist. Thus the downloaded file is invalid and hdiutil ist not able to attach it. And here, the long way of the journey to fix that problem begins :-D The big hurdle to overcome is to generate your own Kivy3.app inside the temporary directory .buildozer/osx/platform/kivy-sdk-packager-master/osx using the script "create-osx-bundle.sh", modify your buildozer installation to use python3 and fix the local python script

This has been extremely helpful in helping me to get kivy to build in MacOS (via GitHub actions) using buildozer. I'm not sure why this isn't documented on the official documentation, since it's--what--2 years old? I did find a couple issues
to this (or similar):
I'm almost there: currently everything works except the python binary that's shipped with buildozer at |

@maltfield @astahlhofen Were you ever able to figure this issue out? I am currently struggling with the same issue and have not been able to get the above strategy to work. Any help would be really appreciated! |

I recommend that you just fork this repo. It has build scripts that "just work" to spit-out a self-contained kivy executable app in Linux, Windows, and MacOS: I ended up abandoning buildzoer (mainly because the python binary it was downloading through the ridiculously complex process described above differs on every execution and therefore wasn't deterministic). I spent days on it, then got PyInstaller working in less than a day. I built the above-linked repo to make this easier for folks to build apps in kivy without having to setup a build environment and fight with the build tools like I did for about a month. |
