This will be a meta issue on getting macOS/Darwin/XNU support for nix-bundle. AFAICT no reliable way to chroot exists no macOS for a user. Related links:

Would you be able to use any ideas from Warp? It "creates self-contained single binary applications ... and is supported on Linux, Windows and macOS".

Edit: Warp doesn't appear to use chroot at all.

@ariutta Yeah we can't really use Warp besides as maybe an alternative to AppImage/self extracting bash.

It created this bundle (warning >200MB):
